Blending real-world analysis with immersive storytelling, this book goes beyond headlines to reveal the human, economic, and psychological impact of COVID-19.

From the first outbreak to worldwide lockdowns, readers are taken inside one of the most disruptive events in modern history-examining how governments responded, how healthcare systems were tested, and how everyday people navigated uncertainty, fear, and resilience.

This book explores:
