The COVID-19 pandemic is the defining event of the past 75 years, destined to continue for at least the next few years. This delightful book is a survival guide written by a broad array of experts. Equal parts down-to-earth advice on how to handle everyday life and an easy-to-understand description of the technical intricacies of pandemic modeling and vaccines, this book is highly relevant to both experts and novices.

This comprehensive and considerate look at COVID-19 covers all the bases from mental health resources, navigating online learning, and healthcare to implications for your financial future. Possible ramifications of this world-shifting pandemic are explored, with resources and suggestions on how to cope.

This collaboration for everyday readers, involving experts in the field of science, education and finance is not so much about the disease as about coping with its implications. It offers in one place valuable tools for those who want guidance on how the past, present and future of the crisis affect their own life and family. It is particularly useful in examining the role that technology plays – both at home and at work, in schools and online – in dealing with COVID-19. The authors smartly keep the title updated with entries on social media.

It’s well written, well organized, hits a good blend of solid science and journalistic ease. In addition to being useful to people now, it seems to me that you have provided a great historical resource for those who will want to look back in the future. BRAVO!
