Table of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1: Preparedness Indicators Chapter 2: Essential Workers Chapter 3: The Strategic National Stockpile Chapter 4: The Scenario-Based Exercise Chapter 5: Emergency Use Chapter 6: Gain-of-Function EpilogueReviews“There is simply no better scholar than Andrew Lakoff ‒ who has written so astutely on the history of preparing for potential public health emergencies ‒ to take up the question of why decades of preparation proved inadequate in the fateful case of Covid-19. This brilliant and crystal-clear analysis shows, step by step, how a long investment in anticipation ironically constrained effective action when crisis struck.” Steven Epstein, author of Impure Science and The Quest for Sexual Health “In this must-read analysis of the US response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Lakoff masterfully dissects how the concepts and techniques of preparedness blinkered expert judgment on which risks to prevent. A reminder of the complexity of human‒nonhuman interactions, it is also a call for humility in the face of the unknowns that will surely accompany the next pandemic.” Sheila Jasanoff, Harvard Kennedy School Author InformationAndrew Lakoff is Professor of Sociology and Anthropology at the University of Southern California.
