It infected millions, killed hundreds of thousands, and effectively made the earth stand still. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYet America was already in poor health before COVID-19 appeared. Racism, marginalization, socioeconomic inequality--our failure to address these forces left us vulnerable to COVID-19 and the ensuing global health crisis it became. Had we tackled these challenges twenty years ago, after the outbreak of SARS, perhaps COVID-19 could have been quickly contained. Instead, we allowed our systems to deteriorate. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFollowing on the themes of his award-winning publication \u003cem\u003eWell\u003c\/em\u003e, Sandro Galea's \u003cem\u003eThe Contagion Next Time\u003c\/em\u003e articulates the foundational forces shaping health in our society and how we can strengthen them to prevent the next outbreak from becoming a pandemic. Because while no one could have predicted that a pandemic would strike when it did, we did know that a pandemic would strike, sooner or later. We're still not ready for the next pandemic. But we can be--we must be. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn lyrical prose, \u003cem\u003eThe Contagion Next Time\u003c\/em\u003e challenges all of us to tackle the deep-rooted obstacles preventing us from becoming a truly vibrant and equitable nation, reminding us of what we've seemed to have forgotten: that our health is a public good worth protecting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSandro Galea\u003c\/strong\u003e is Dean and Robert A.
