A searing indictment of the American public health, media, and political establishments’ decision-making process behind pandemic school closures.

An Abundance of Caution is a devastating account of the decision-making process behind one of the worst American policy failures in a century—the extended closures of public schools during the pandemic. In fascinating and meticulously reported detail, David Zweig shows how some of the most trusted members of society—from Pulitzer Prize–winning journalists to eminent health officials—repeatedly made fundamental errors in their assessment and presentation of evidence. As a result, for the first time in modern American history, millions of healthy children did not set foot in a classroom for more than a year.

Since the spring of 2020, many students in Europe had been learning in person. Even peers at home—in private schools, and public schools in mostly “red” states and districts—were in class full time from fall 2020 onward. Whatever inequities that existed among American children before the pandemic, the selective school closures exacerbated them, disproportionately affecting the underprivileged. Deep mental, physical, and academic harms—among them, depression, anxiety, abuse, obesity, plummeting test scores, and rising drop-out rates—were endured for no discernible benefit. As Europe had shown very early, after they had sent kids back to class, there was never any evidence that long-term school closures, nor a host of interventions imposed on students when they were in classrooms, would reduce overall cases or deaths in any meaningful way.

The story of American schools during the pandemic serves as a prism through which to approach fundamental questions about why and how individuals, bureaucracies, governments, and societies act as they do in times of crisis and uncertainty. Ultimately, this book is not about COVID; it’s about a country ill-equipped to act sensibly under duress.

Wonderful Face Wipes
Scent: Night Calming, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 2)
I use Amazon's brand face cleaners every day.And they are wonderful! I also have rosacea , and these never bother it. I buy the lavender scent which is very soothing and smells wonderful. It is not overpowering, but just a light scent.

Best facial mist perfect in every way!
Scent: Lavender, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Love this! I tried it and took a chance and it’s literally the best face spray I’ve used. The Mr. is perfect, it makes you feel refreshed, it smells great. It doesn’t burn and it makes your complexion look Dewey and feels like it tightens your skin a little, but in the right way. It’s a nice sized bottle and the price point is perfect. I’ll probably never stop buying it. I highly recommend it. It’s not just for make up. It’s for anybody that wants their skin to be healthy and hydrated. Try it. You won’t regret it.

Refreshing, gentle and soothing
Scent: Rose Petal, Size: 3 ounce (Pack of 1)
The Thayers Alcohol-Free Witch Hazel Facial Mist is amazing! It feels incredibly refreshing on the skin and provides instant hydration without any stinging or dryness. I love that it’s alcohol-free, so it’s gentle enough for sensitive skin while still helping to tone and soothe. The mist is fine and evenly distributed, making it perfect for a quick pick-me-up during the day or as part of a skincare routine. My skin feels soft, calm, and revitalized after each use. Overall, this facial mist is a must-have for anyone looking to refresh, hydrate, and care for their skin naturally. Highly recommend!
