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. The South African state, the media and the scientific community have largely tried to deal with the virus through a 'First World' lens in which much of the country was either invisible or a problem - not a partner. Friedman argues this approach prevented the country from responding in a way which would have protected most citizens. This is why case numbers and deaths are so high: South Africa has done worse than the rest of Africa not despite the fact that it has a 'more developed' health system, but because it does. One Virus, Two Countries is a controversial book that will rouse much needed debate about South Africa's health and economic system in a context of serious inequality." -- $c Back cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a COVID-19 (Disease) $z South Africa. 650 0 $a COVID-19 (Disease) $x Social aspects $z South Africa. 650 0 $a COVID-19 Pandemic, 2020- $x Government policy $z South Africa. 650 0 $a COVID-19 Pandemic, 2020- $x Social aspects $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Medical care $z South Africa. 650 7 $a COVID-19 (Disease) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01984643 650 7 $a COVID-19 (Disease) $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01984649 650 7 $a Economic history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901974 650 7 $a Government policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353198 650 7 $a Medical care. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01013753 650 7 $a Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01354981 651 0 $a South Africa $x Economic conditions. 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023615.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DB917E80EE0211ECABFB385646ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
