Drawing from the experience of the COVID-19 pandemic and in view of the responses of the healthcare and political sectors, this book explores the need for a thoughtful and honest reflection on these events. Its author, Andreu Segura, advocates for more mindful and transparent strategies to prevent and manage future epidemic situations, avoiding the missteps and inefficiencies encountered during this crisis. 
 
As a public health professional, Andreu Segura shares his insights into pandemics throughout history, along with key lessons we should draw from our recent experience. By depicting a reality that may repeat itself, the author urges us to recognise our vulnerabilities in this regard and to take steps to address any shortcomings in our response to such crises.
