"“Throughout the pandemic, I often turned to the compassionate and clearheaded voice of Dr. Monica Gandhi. Drawing on her experience from the frontlines of HIV, she was able to make meaning from mountains of data and deftly balance an approach that helped keep people safe while reducing harm. Now, eyes cast to the future, she outlines a thoughtful and reasoned plan to help prepare for the next pandemic.”--Sanjay Gupta, M.D., CNN chief medical correspondent and #1 New York Times bestselling author of Keep Sharp and World War C ""Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Monica Gandhi has emerged as a unique voice, passionately arguing for an approach that balances the threat of the virus and the harms of mitigation strategies. In this timely, lucid, and well-referenced book, Gandhi lays out the lessons of the pandemic – lessons that should be heeded as we manage the continued threat of Covid and plan for the next pandemic. An essential addition to the Covid lexicon."" Robert Wachter, M.D., Chair, Department of Medicine, UCSF and New York Times bestselling author of The Digital Doctor   ""As we look back on the years 2020-2022 and forward to the coming decades, Dr. Monica Gandhi's bold work will be among the few go-to analyses helping to set the stage for the long-term playbook we can rely on in future epidemics.""--Emily Oster, New York Times bestselling author of Cribsheet and Professor of Economics, Brown University ""A  heartfelt and urgently needed exploration of the success and mistakes of the COVID-19 response.  This vivid account from a doctor and mother on the frontlines of the pandemic can help us all do better in the endemic period we are now entering--still so surrounded by uncertainty. Here is a sane and reliable guide to a better future."" -- Chris Beyrer MD, MPH, Director, Duke Global Health Institute “Dr. Monica Gandhi’s work in global HIV gives her a long view of equity in antiretroviral treatment and prevention access.  She is also an active infectious diseases clinician. This provided her with a unique, pragmatic view of the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of the need for global vaccine and treatment equity, as well as universal healthcare access coverage.”-- Eric Goosby, M.D., former Global AIDS Ambassador under President Obama “As a specialist who has been on the forefront of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, Dr. Gandhi is no stranger to the fear, stigma, discrimination, and uncertainty a new disease can create. Her book provides assurance and clarity as she reflects on the lessons learned from the HIV response and discusses what went right and what went wrong in our response to the COVD-19 pandemic and how to prepare for the next public health emergency.”--Carlos del Rio, M.D., Professor of Medicine, Emory University School of Medicine; President, Infectious Diseases Society of America “For years, Dr. Gandhi has been a faithful and diligent force on the HIV/AIDS front line, especially in terms of global equity.  She has now turned her years of expertise into an invaluable tool—a handbook—for future medical crises.”--Ingrid Katz, M.D., Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School and Faculty Director, Harvard Global Health Institute     “Dr. Gandhi has been a star presence in the medical community for many years, particularly in the fight against HIV/AIDS. As we face the future of epidemics both in the U.S. and abroad, it’s people like Dr. Gandhi who we can rely on to show us a clear path forward. With this book, Dr. Gandhi provides a solid map.""--Jeffrey Flier, M.D., former Dean, Harvard Medical School   "
