Authors: Stephen Macedo and Frances Lee

The Covid pandemic quickly led to the greatest mobilization of emergency powers in human history. By early April 2020, half the world’s population were living under quarantine.

People were told not to leave their homes; businesses were shuttered, employees laid off, and schools closed.

The most devastating pandemic in a century and the policies adopted in response to it upended life as we knew it.

In this book, Stephen Macedo and Frances Lee examine our pandemic response and pose some provocative questions.
