Description

Coronavirus 2020: What Is Really Happening and How to Prevent It by Grayson Wick is an early informational guide written during the initial Wuhan 2019-nCoV outbreak that quickly evolved into the global COVID-19 pandemic. The book was published to help readers understand what was unfolding in real time — covering the origins of the virus, how it spreads, its symptoms, and practical prevention measures.

Wick breaks down the science behind the coronavirus in accessible language, addressing topics such as how respiratory viruses transmit between people, the importance of hygiene and sanitation, the role of public health systems in controlling outbreaks, and how individuals and communities can protect themselves during a health crisis. The book also explores the early global response and the challenges governments faced in containing the spread.

While our understanding of COVID-19 has evolved significantly since 2020, this book remains a valuable historical document capturing the early days of the pandemic. It’s useful for public health students, nursing and medical students in Kenya preparing for infectious disease modules, and anyone interested in understanding how the world responded to one of the most significant health events in modern history.

A relevant read for healthcare workers, community health volunteers, and health science students across East Africa.
