In January 2020, leading epidemiologist Professor Mark Woolhouse
learned of a new virus taking hold in China. He immediately foresaw
a hard road ahead for the entire world, and emailed the Chief
Medical Officer of Scotland warning that the UK should urgently
begin preparations. A few days later he received a polite reply
stating only that everything was under control. In this astonishing
account, Mark Woolhouse shares his story as an insider, having
served on advisory groups to both the Scottish and UK governments.
He reveals the disregarded advice, frustration of dealing with
politicians, and the missteps that led to the deaths of vulnerable
people, damage to livelihoods and the disruption of education. He
explains the follies of lockdown and sets out the alternatives.
Finally, he warns that when the next pandemic comes, we must not
dither and we must not panic; never again should we make a global
crisis even worse. The Year the World Went Mad puts our recent,
devastating, history in a completely new light.
