Selected by Today as a book "to ease kids’ anxiety about coronavirus.” We all need hope. Humans have an extraordinary capacity to battle through adversity, but only if they have something to cling onto: a belief or hope that maybe, one day, things will be better. This idea sparked The Great Realization. Sharing the truths we may find hard to tell but also celebrating the things—from simple acts of kindness and finding joy in everyday activities, to the creativity within us all—that have brought us together during lockdown, it gives us hope in this time of global crisis. Written for his younger brother and sister in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Tomos Roberts’s heartfelt poem is as timely as it is timeless. Its message of hope and resilience, of rebirth and renewal, has captured the hearts of children and adults all over the globe—and the glimpse it offers of a fairer, kinder, more sustainable world continues to inspire thousands every day. With Tomos Roberts’s heartfelt poem and beautiful illustrations by award-winning artist Nomoco, The Great Realization is a profound work, at once striking and reassuring, reminding readers young and old that in the face of adversity there are still dreams to be dreamt and kindnesses to be shared and hope. There is still hope. We now call it The Great Realization and, yes, since then there have been many. But that’s the story of how it started . . . and why hindsight’s 2020.
At first it was thought to be just a bad case of flu spreading around but for sure it was not! People always get sick from time to time and that was a fact, Bad cold, the flu or something similar, This time it was something a lot worse, Too many people were getting sick, very sick, too fat, Strong headaches, no energy, bloodshot eyes, dizziness, dry coughing that won’t go away, tiredness, loss of taste and smell, stomach problems, all the signs of flu symptoms but this wasn’t flu, it was something else, Something a lot stronger than flu, or influenza or any other related illnesses, Further later symptoms people developed, such as, nausea, bowel problems, tightness in the chest, problems in breathing leading to death, More and more people caught the illness confusing everyone, The government announced it to be some virus that was unknown over the weeks, too late was the announcement, The world medical health association found out and started to ask questions what was going on, China seemed to be lenient to tell all, this was reported down the chain and investigated further, Chinese Scientist’s worked hard to investigate the new virus, 2 Many hundreds of people caught the virus and died in a short period of time, this soon turned to thousands, taken into hospital to be put on breathing ventilators to try and help them breath, mostly they died, handfuls of people fought the virus with the help of the breathing ventilators, they were kept in intensive care and monitored, they too passed away in the end, This virus spread around ninety percent of China very quickly. The Chinese government made quick rules for their people and passed their developments to the world medical association who were not too happy with the slowness of China’s reports, Bid decisions were being made behind closed doors. Weeks passed, China reported thousands of deaths to other foreign governments as they should of a lot sooner, Quarantine levels were put in place too late, Lock down rules were taken on, Chinese soldiers were used to disinfect the streets, United nations met as quickly as they could and dammed China for this new virus that come from their country, The virus was now spreading across Eastern Asia and leaking into Europe. It was discovered, leaked out that this virus had been spreading around China for weeks, could be months, it wasn’t proven, some government officials said, could have been longer, who knows others talked about, It became very messy, Countries governments talked and talked strongly together to try and find out what exactly what was going on, 3 China announced from their scientists results what they had discovered about the virus, They informed it was a pandemic, not air born, spread around from human to human, coughing, sneezing, talking to close to another person could pass on the virus, China called the virus, Covid-19, another type of Corona virus, They informed it was much stronger than past virus’s the world had already encountered and was continually investigating them, this was also known to many countries’ leaders. The world health association was not impressed and demanded, there was little reply from China just their reports on other viruses they had been working on. Uk government officials along with the world health organisation had in depth behind closed doors trying to get to grips with this new virus and what exactly was its strength, China still talked behind clouds informing that It was not their fault and that it would blow over, It was not the case as more and more cases were discovered around the world, UK’s prime minister held instance cabinet meetings trying to get to grips with this new virus and preparing what to tell the nation, Little was told and was told to late many people thought, but that was, always is the case with the government in the UK many people have commented in the past.
The most important fact about the coronavirus pandemic that turned the world upside down in 2020 is that our response to it has been an epic overreaction driven by a disastrous confluence of public and private interests—all of them purporting to “follow the science.” Since the lockdowns began, millions of Americans have relied on the reporting of Alex Berenson. Exposing the hysteria and manipulation behind the worst failure of public policy since World War I, this clear-eyed journalist has been a critical source of reason and truth. The product of relentless investigation and research, Pandemia explains how an illness that many people will never even know they had became the occasion for economically ruinous lockdowns and the suppression of personal freedom on a previously unimaginable scale. Dispassionate, factual, and untainted by any agenda other than telling the truth, this is the account that pandemic-weary Americans desperately need.

An NPR education reporter shows how the pandemic disrupted children’s lives—and how our country has nearly always failed to put our children first The onset of COVID broke a 150-year social contract between America and its children. Tens of millions of students lost what little support they had from the government—not just school but food, heat, and physical and emotional safety. The cost was enormous. But this crisis began much earlier than 2020. In The Stolen Year, Anya Kamenetz exposes a long-running indifference to the plight of children and families in American life and calls for a reckoning. She follows families across the country as they live through the pandemic, facing loss and resilience: a boy with autism in San Francisco who gains a foster brother and a Hispanic family in Texas that loses a member to COVID, and finds solace when they need it most. Kamenetz also recounts the history that brought us to this point: how we thrust children and caregivers into poverty, how we over-police families of color, how we rely on mothers instead of infrastructure. And how our government, in failing to support our children through this tumultuous time, has stolen years of their lives.
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “Uncontrolled Spread is everything you’d hope: a smart and insightful account of what happened and, currently, the best guide to what needs to be done to avoid a future pandemic." —Wall Street Journal “Informative and well paced.”—The Guardian “An intense ride through the pandemic with chilling details of what really happened. It is also sprinkled with notes of true wisdom that may help all of us better prepare for the future.”—Sanjay Gupta, MD, chief medical correspondent, CNN Physician and former FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb asks: Has America’s COVID-19 catastrophe taught us anything? In Uncontrolled Spread, he shows how the coronavirus and its variants were able to trounce America’s pandemic preparations, and he outlines the steps that must be taken to protect against the next outbreak. As the pandemic unfolded, Gottlieb was in regular contact with all the key players in Congress, the Trump administration, and the drug and diagnostic industries. He provides an inside account of how level after level of American government crumbled as the COVID-19 crisis advanced. A system-wide failure across government institutions left the nation blind to the threat, and unable to mount an effective response. We’d prepared for the wrong virus. We failed to identify the contagion early enough and became overly reliant on costly and sometimes divisive tactics that couldn’t fully slow the spread. We never considered asymptomatic transmission and we assumed people would follow public health guidance. Key bureaucracies like the CDC were hidebound and outmatched. Weak political leadership aggravated these woes. We didn’t view a public health disaster as a threat to our national security. Many of the woes sprung from the CDC, which has very little real-time reporting capability to inform us of Covid’s twists and turns or assess our defenses. The agency lacked an operational capacity and mindset to mobilize the kind of national response that was needed. To guard against future pandemic risks, we must remake the CDC and properly equip it to better confront crises. We must also get our intelligence services more engaged in the global public health mission, to gather information and uncover emerging risks before they hit our shores so we can head them off. For this role, our clandestine agencies have tools and capabilities that the CDC lacks. Uncontrolled Spread argues we must fix our systems and prepare for a deadlier coronavirus variant, a flu pandemic, or whatever else nature -- or those wishing us harm -- may threaten us with. Gottlieb outlines policies and investments that are essential to prepare the United States and the world for future threats.
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • With stark poignancy and political dispassion Tightrope addresses the crisis in working-class America while focusing on solutions to mend a half century of governmental failure. This must-read book from the authors of Half the Sky “shows how we can and must do better” (Katie Couric). "A deft and uniquely credible exploration of rural America, and of other left-behind pockets of our country. One of the most important books I've read on the state of our disunion."—Tara Westover, author of Educated Drawing us deep into an “other America,” the authors tell this story, in part, through the lives of some of the people with whom Kristof grew up, in rural Yamhill, Oregon. It’s an area that prospered for much of the twentieth century but has been devastated in the last few decades as blue-collar jobs disappeared. About a quarter of the children on Kristof’s old school bus died in adulthood from drugs, alcohol, suicide, or reckless accidents. While these particular stories unfolded in one corner of the country, they are representative of many places the authors write about, ranging from the Dakotas and Oklahoma to New York and Virginia. With their superb, nuanced reportage, Kristof and WuDunn have given us a book that is both riveting and impossible to ignore.
Everything is different now. The future is so uncertain, how we are supposed to live and love and just plain survive, is upside down and backwards. And it can feel positively over-whelming. But what I realized is that maybe, just maybe, we can turn what we learned about ourselves during these long months of quarantine, about how we think and work and dream, about how we function in relationships with our family, friends, or the world at large--into something good, something positive. Maybe we can use this global reset as a way to go forward into individual, personal greater happiness, health and success. All it takes is our willingness to move forward instead of backward, to embrace the lessons that emerged for us in this time of forced introversion. To come at life a little differently. With, say, optimism. Positivity. A belief in the possibility of good things happening. A willingness to say "thank you" to Life regardless of its bumps and hurdles. Study after study show that optimists, those with a positive, appreciative, forward thinking take on life--thrive. Pessimists do not. Optimism doesn't mean going around with a "glass is half full" mentality. It's much more. Optimism means making the best of what is. Optimism is an expansive perspective, an opening towards possibilities and opportunity. Optimism means choosing deliberately to see how things could work out, what might be a better way, what resources or help might be available. To see the good in our lives. Good happens all the time, in every corner of the globe. Whether it's José Andrés rushing in to feed the world's hungry, front-liners giving their all 24/7, or perfect strangers coming to the aid of someone in need, the more we recognize and appreciate the good in all, the happier we get, the longer we live, and the healthier we are. All it takes is a shift in attitude. "I Survived COVID-19, What Now?! Finding Happiness and Success in a Post-COVID World" is designed to give you insights and inspiration as to how to accomplish this powerful life-enhancing shift. It provides you with strategies, tips and techniques for how to find the positives in life despite awful/painful circumstances, along with examples of real people who have done just that. It's easier than you might think, and the rewards in terms of your happiness and success will truly be remarkable. Welcome to your brave new world post-COVID-19!
"The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic marks the most significant, singular global disruption since World War II, with health, economic, political, and security implications that will ripple for years to come." -Global Trends 2040 (2021) Global Trends 2040-A More Contested World (2021), released by the US National Intelligence Council, is the latest report in its series of reports starting in 1997 about megatrends and the world's future. This report, strongly influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, paints a bleak picture of the future and describes a contested, fragmented and turbulent world. It specifically discusses the four main trends that will shape tomorrow's world: - Demographics-by 2040, 1.4 billion people will be added mostly in Africa and South Asia. - Economics-increased government debt and concentrated economic power will escalate problems for the poor and middleclass. - Climate-a hotter world will increase water, food, and health insecurity. - Technology-the emergence of new technologies could both solve and cause problems for human life. Students of trends, policymakers, entrepreneurs, academics, journalists and anyone eager for a glimpse into the next decades, will find this report, with colored graphs, essential reading.
Much has been written about Covid-19 victims, how scientists raced to understand and treat the disease, and how governments did (or did not) protect their citizens. Less has been written about the pandemic’s impact on the global economy and how companies coped as the competitive environment was upended. In his new book, "The New (Ab)Normal", MIT Professor Yossi Sheffi maps how the Covid-19 pandemic impacted business, supply chains, and society. He exposes the critical role supply chains play in helping people, governments, and companies to manage the crisis. The book draws on executive interviews, pandemic media coverage, and historical analyses. Sheffi also builds on themes from his books "The Resilient Enterprise" (2005) and "The Power of Resilience" (2015) to enrich the narrative. The author paints a compelling picture of how the Covid-19 virus is changing many facets of human life and what our post-pandemic world might look like. This must-read book helps companies to redefine their business models and adjust to a fast-evolving economic landscape. The stage is set In Part 1 of the book, “What Happened,” the author looks at how companies fought to mend the global economic fabric even as the virus ripped more holes in it. Part 2, “Living with Uncertainty,” views the crisis through a supply chain risk management lens derived from Yossi Sheffi’s previous books. This perspective shows how companies create corporate immune systems to quickly recognize and manage large-scale disruptions. The ongoing pandemic is creating a new normal in life, work, and education—covered in Part 3, “Adjustment Required.” Consumer fears about the contagion as well as government mandates require businesses in industries such as retail, hospitality, entertainment, sports, and education to create “safe zones” for workers and customers. Many elements of the book – especially in Part 4, “Supply Chains for the Future” – show how the virus accelerated preexisting trends in technology adoption. China was the epicenter of the pandemic; it also was the first nation to be disrupted and recover. Part 5 of the book, “Of Politics and Pandemics,” explains why reports that companies are abandoning China in favor of other offshore manufacturing centers do not reflect reality. Fundamentally, The New (Ab)Normal is about businesses trying to create a better future in a time of extreme uncertainty – a point emphasized in Part 6, “The Next Opportunities.” The outlook is not necessarily gloomy. The advance of technology is accelerating, a trend that can level the playing field between small and large companies. Nimble small businesses are using a growing array of off-the-shelf cloud computing and mobile apps to deploy sophisticated technologies in their supply chains and customer interfaces. The New (Ab)Normal Another new normal is working from home. Remote working enables individuals to live anywhere and companies to recruit talent from anywhere. Education, especially higher education, faces a major disruption (and major opportunity) that is likely to shake the high-cost model of in-person education in favor of online or hybrid education. Regrettably, the book recognizes one trend accentuated by Covid-19--the growing inequality, and anticipates that the new normal will be more stratified.
