El 13 de enero de 2020, Salvador Illa tomaba posesión de su nuevo cargo: Ministro de Sanidad. Ese mismo día, en la otra punta del mundo, las alertas empezaban a sonar en Wuhan. Transcurrido un tiempo prudencial y superada ya una de las peores crisis sanitarias de la historia, toca hacer balance y dar cuenta de lo acaecido. Esta es una crónica en primera persona de un año que transcurrió a un ritmo frenético, un libro que nos sumerge en la trastienda del poder, una pequeña sala de crisis desde la que se lideró y coordinó el trabajo de cientos de profesionales y en la que fue imposible aislarse de la gravedad y de la tensión con la que se vivía en España esos días.

In 2006, the Wall Street pioneer and philanthropist Ray Chambers flicked through some holiday snapshots taken by a friend and remarked on the placid beauty of a group of sleeping Malawian children.

"En mi planta del hospital he sentido el temblor. Manos temblorosas canalizando vías venosas, colocando oxígeno, auscultando pechos rendidos a la fatiga... Manos agitadas tocando pacientes, cambiando sábanas, limpiando habitaciones, trasladando camas o, en el peor de los casos, camillas a las cámaras".

A menudo les pregunto a mis amigas cómo se ven dentro de diez años. Sabemos qué haremos la semana que viene, pero no dentro de tres meses. ¿Tendré trabajo? ¿Me echarán de mi casa? ¿Habré conocido a alguien?
