A real-life thriller about a nation in crisis, & the decisions its leaders made during the COVID-19 pandemic. First, the government instituted no restrictions. Then, it didn't order the wearing of face masks. While the rest of the world looked on with incredulity, condemnation, admiration, & even envy, a small country in Northern Europe stood alone. As COVID-19 spread across the globe rapidly, the world shut down. But Sweden stayed open. The Swedish COVID-19 strategy was alternately lauded & held up as a cautionary tale by international governments & journalists alike. But what made Sweden take such a different path? In 'The Herd', Johan Anderberg narrates the story of a nation that took a startlingly different approach to fighting the virus, guiding the reader through the history of epidemiology & the decisions that pandemic decision-makers were faced with on a daily basis.
