Michael Lewis Found the People Who Should Have Been in Charge During the Pandemic (TIME)

I thought The End Of October was a terrifying and infuriating book. Michael Lewis might have it beat.

In true form, he tracks down 3 people who each have an uncanny and prescient perspective on the pandemic and skills that would’ve been vital to help defeat it early on.

Skip the book if you’re not a nerdy masochist like I am. But don’t skip this very smart interview with Lewis.
