For those who could read between the lines, the censored news from China was alarming, yet the president insisted there was no cause for concern. Thankfully, skepticism remains a hallmark of our nation, and some individuals are dedicated to studying pandemics and confronting worst-case scenarios. This gripping nonfiction narrative follows a group of medical visionaries as they challenge the Trump administration's inadequate response to the COVID-19 outbreak. The characters are both captivating and unexpected. A thirteen-year-old girl's science project on airborne pathogen transmission evolves into a sophisticated model for disease control. A local public health officer offers insights that reveal significant truths about American society, while a covert team of dissenting doctors, known as the Wolverines, possesses the expertise and resources needed to combat the pandemic—except for the official clearance to act. The author boldly labels these individuals as heroes for defying directives grounded in misinformation and flawed science. Even the internet, vital for their communication, poses risks, as they remain uncertain about who might be monitoring their discussions.
