COVID: Anatomy of a Health Crisis

Publisher Humensciences
COLLECTION Débats
GENRE Sociology
Keywords Crisis
Jean-Dominique Michel, a specialist in the anthropology of healthcare, was the first to observe a gap between the reality of the epidemic and official discourse from the authorities.

No screening tests, general confinement of the entire population, lies about the efficacy of masks: Jean-Dominique Michel is here to dissect absurd policy decisions. His thorough research helps us understand how the authorities failed and why we could have acted differently. What should we have known? How can we prepare ourselves if tomorrow the threat of a more lethal and contagious virus appears? What lessons can we learn from this crisis?
