Description
Three years on, COVID is clearly here to stay. So what do we do now? Drawing on his expertise as one of the world’s top virologists, Dr. Paul Offit helps weary readers address that crucial question in this brief, definitive guide.
As a member of the FDA Vaccine Advisory Committee and a former member of the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices to the CDC, Offit has been in the room for the creation of policies that have affected hundreds of millions of people. In these pages, he marshals the power of hindsight to offer a fascinating frontline look at where we were, where we are, and where we’re heading in the now-permanent fight against the disease.
Accompanied by a companion website populated with breaking news and relevant commentary, this book contains everything you need to know to navigate COVID going forward. Offit addresses fundamental issues like boosters, immunity induced by natural infection, and what it means to be fully vaccinated. He explores the dueling origin stories of the disease, tracing today’s strident anti-vax rhetoric to twelve online sources and tracking the fallout. He breaks down long COVID—what it is, and what the known treatments are. And he looks to the future, revealing whether we can make a better vaccine, whether it should be mandated, and providing a crucial list of fourteen takeaways to eradicate further spread.
Filled with pragmatic analysis and sensible advice, TELL ME WHEN IT’S OVER is for anyone interested in finding new solutions to the new normal.

Featured Reviews
I always love his books – Paul Offit is an incredible translator of complex medical concepts and science communicator. I didn't feel this was his strongest book, but I really hope it reaches the readership it needs to. He has an accessible, conversational tone that makes it easy to udnerstand and absorb this important information. And as he always does, he focuses on mythbusting misinformation (but never aggressively or mockingly, which I feel is very important with the divide we've exprerienced in recent years). I learned a lot here, some of which I really wish I'd known earlier, but there was also some that was a bit redundant if you follow this news regularly or have already read a lot about it. Nevertheless, really hope this reaches readers who need it.
