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\u003cbr\u003eof 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.
