Written from Shanghai with a global perspective, By Degrees bears witness to the surreality and devastation of day-to-day life in the midst of a pandemic. Ghastly football matches, Skype funerals, and innumerable candles lit for the dead are recorded with disbelief, with horror, and with heart-rending empathy.
