Reviews"Skillfully combining scientific precision with an accessible style, this book brings clarity to the uncertainties of the pandemic."--Publisher's Weekly "I've been waiting for this book to be written where someone takes a look back and asks, What have we learned, what did we get right, what did we get wrong, and what we can do better in the future."--Morning Joe

SynopsisFrom one of the world's top virologists, the definitive guide to understanding-and navigating-COVID-19. Three years on, COVID is clearly here to stay. So what do we do now? Drawing on his expertise as one of the world's top virologists, Dr. Paul Offit helps weary readers address that crucial question in this brief, definitive guide. As a member of the FDA Vaccine Advisory Committee and a former member of the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices to the CDC, Offit has been in the room for the creation of policies that have affected hundreds of millions of people. In these pages, he marshals the power of hindsight to offer a fascinating frontline look at where we were, where we are, and where we're heading in the now-permanent fight against the disease. Accompanied by a companion website populated with breaking news and relevant commentary, this book contains everything you need to know to navigate COVID going forward. Offit addresses fundamental issues like boosters, immunity induced by natural infection, and what it means to be fully vaccinated. He explores the dueling origin stories of the disease, tracing today's strident anti-vax rhetoric to twelve online sources and tracking the fallout. He breaks down long COVID-what it is, and what the known treatments are. And he looks to the future, revealing whether we can make a better vaccine, whether it should be mandated, and providing a crucial list of fourteen takeaways to eradicate further spread. Filled with pragmatic analysis and sensible advice, TELL ME WHEN IT'S OVER is for anyone interested in finding new solutions to the new normal., From one of the world's premier vaccine experts, this essential guide will answer the key questions about the COVID-19 pandemic: what happened, where we are now, and what happens next, as well as how we can best protect ourselves, our children, and the most vulnerable among us. Today, as the covid-19 pandemic evolves, people have started to throw away their masks, gather in large indoor settings, and return to normal life. But the fact remains that 9 million Americans are immune-compromised, and at least 60 million have refused to be vaccinated. Moreover, while COVID vaccines are remarkable at preventing severe disease, they aren't very good at preventing mild or asymptomatic infections. This means SARS-CoV-2 isn't going to disappear anytime soon. The virus will continue to circulate throughout the United States and the world, mutate, generate contagious variants, and cause harm for years if not decades. So how will we live with COVID now? Dr. Paul Offit will help weary readers address that crucial question. As a member of the FDA Vaccine Advisory Committee and a former member of the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices to the CDC, Offit has been in the room for the creation of policies that have affected hundreds of millions of people. In this comprehensive guide, he will show us where we've been, where we are, and where we're heading, addressing fundamental issues like boosters, masking, vaccine mandates, immunity induced by natural infection, and what it means to be fully vaccinated. He will also zero in on how to treat long COVID, whether COVID vaccines should be given every year, and when to use antivirals. Comprehensive and pragmatic, TELL ME WHEN IT'S OVER is the ANTI-anti-vax book--and will be a beacon for anyone (which is to say, everyone) who is interested in finding new solutions to the new normal.

    I study epidemics as a historian. I bought this book as a research source for a book of my own that I am writing. I haven't read it. I'm saving it for my birthday.
