Résumé

Offers a searing analysis of government and expert scientists' responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. Friedman argues that South Africa is two societies in one - a ‘First World' which resembles Western Europe and North America, and a ‘Third World' which looks much like the rest of Africa or South Asia.
