Más información sobre el libro

In June 2020, a significant book on the coronavirus pandemic became an instant bestseller in Germany, selling 200,000 copies and 75,000 e-books within six weeks. The topic of COVID-19 has dominated public discourse, leading to a flood of conflicting opinions, misinformation, and politically influenced narratives. This has resulted in deep divisions and confusion among governments, society, and personal relationships. Award-winning researchers Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi and Dr. Karina Reiss aim to bring clarity to these tumultuous times. They analyze whether the drastic protective measures—such as lockdowns, social distancing, and mandatory masking—were justified and their impact on society, the economy, and public health. The authors present a wealth of information, addressing key questions: How does COVID-19 compare to previous coronaviruses and the flu? What do infection numbers and death rates reveal? Were lockdowns justified? Does the science support mandatory mask-wearing? What are the prospects for vaccine development, and will it be safe and accepted by the public? This book offers well-researched information and encourages readers to form their own opinions on the ongoing crisis.
