    Summary: 
    "In March 2020, like the rest of the nation, Hawaii unknowingly stood on the edge of a precipice. The COVID-19 virus had just begun appearing in the US, and as of yet no one knew that the virus would rage through the country and the rest of the world, shutting down the economy and creating an unimaginable health disaster. As a clinical infectious diseases specialist, Dr. Jonathan Dworkin had a more of a clue than most. He started meticulously tracking the virus and emerged as an early voice offering straight-forward information and analysis to the people of Hawaii during the crisis. In Plague Doctors: How Hawaii Battled the Pandemic—Dworkin's front-row seat and hands-on involvement provide invaluable insight into how the state handled—or mishandled—the first eighteen months of the COVID-19 pandemic. In his characteristic forthright style, Dworkin explains the path of the disease and detailing the quirks and attitudes of the local population, the bureaucratic pitfalls and the political wrangling that contributed to both the early successes and the later catastrophes in Hawaii's pandemic response. Charts and tables help illuminate Dworkin's major points and the alarming statistics concerning the virus, helping readers to understand the true magnitude of the effects of COVID-19. In an Afterword, Dworkin analyzes the current-day situation as of fall 2021 and the impacts of the delta variant."--Amazon.
