{"product_id":"9781785907746","title":"Pandemic Diaries : The inside story of Britain's battle against Covid","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen Covid-19 swept the world, governments scrambled to protect their citizens and chart a course back to normality. As Health Secretary, Matt Hancock was at the forefront of Britain's battle against the virus, trying to steer the country through the crisis in a world where information was scarce, judgements huge and the roadmap non-existent.   Drawing on a wealth of never-before-seen material, including official records, his notes at the time and communications with all the key players in Britain's Covid-19 story, this candid account reveals the inner workings of government during a time of national crisis, reflecting on both the successes and the failures.   Recounting the most important decisions in the race to develop a vaccine in record time and to build a nationwide testing capacity from the ground up, Pandemic Diaries provides the definitive account of Britain's battle to turn the tide against Covid-19. Crucially, it also offers an honest assessment of the lessons we need to learn to be prepared for next time - because there will be a next time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45459213222109,"sku":"9781785907746","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9781785907746.jpg?v=1719965537","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781785907746","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
