David Lyon, in his excellent new book, 'Pandemic Surveillance,' might say that public health surveillance, despite its temporary pandemic utility, is here to stay. Although 'Pandemic Surveillance' leaves the reader wanting more detail about how to fix a nuanced, complex, multifaceted problem addressed in the majority of the book, Lyon offers us the intellectual scaffolding to consider how fear can lead to the erosion of important human interests.
