But people and politics create pandemics. And pandemics create new politics. In the 1980s, the toxic politics of the response to HIV\/AIDS turned a serious but manageable viral threat into a global pandemic that took the lives of 32 million people and brought illness and suffering to millions more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2020, COVID-19 emerged into a world where many governments had failed to heed the lessons of the past, and so they were unprepared and unable to stop its global spread. But some countries had learned the harsh lessons of HIV\/AIDS, and had contained SARS1, Ebola, Zika, and MERS. When coronavirus hit, they knew what to do to save their people from avoidable infections and deaths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eUnmasked: the Politics of Pandemics\u003c\/i\u003e, Bill Bowtell draws on his four decades of experience in the global and local politics of public health to examine why some countries got it right with coronavirus while others collapsed into misery and chaos.
