Beschreibung
The Fatal Breath is the first full-scale history of the Covid-19 pandemic in Britain. Deploying a rich archive of personal testimonies together with a wide range of research reports and official data, it presents a moving and challenging account of the crisis that enveloped Britain (and the world) in the spring of 2020.
With sensitivity, care, and a historian's critical eye, David Vincent places the pandemic in context. While much contemporary commentary has assumed people were forced to develop entirely new ways of living and working during lockdown, Vincent reveals how the population was able to draw upon a wealth of resources and coping strategies already seen over the centuries, often reacting far more quickly and effectively than slow-moving authorities. He tells the stories of doctors' and nurses' time on the front lines, reveals the true extent of supply shortages, conspiracy theories and vaccine resistance, and explores individuals' newfound appreciation of nature and community in lockdown, revealing how the pandemic unfolded through ordinary people's eyes.
The Fatal Breath will appeal to anyone seeking to reflect on the past few years and how the pandemic has changed Britain--for better and for worse.
