Understanding how Covid-19 started is more important than we know
for the future of humankind. Determining whether the virus came
from nature or from a lab will help us to safeguard against the
next pandemic. This disease will forever punctuate modern history.
It has led to the deaths of millions, sickened hundreds of millions
and affected the lives of almost every person on the planet. We now
know that Covid is here to stay. Genetic engineering expert Dr
Alina Chan and renowned science writer Matt Ridley examine the
origins of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for Covid-19, using
their formidable skills to scrutinise arguments and rigorously
analyse the sprawling data. Viral is a fascinating account that
takes in pangolins, horseshoe bats, internet sleuths and misleading
scientific papers. It details the evidence and investigates
hypotheses for the virus origin, chief among them a potential
laboratory leak or a natural spillover. Science has made great
strides over the last decades. Chan and Ridley give an insight into
the proliferating pathogen research and virus hunting around the
world. Whatever the source of the virus, the world needs to adopt
new policies and strategies to prevent or mitigate future
outbreaks. Set in the caves and mineshafts, food markets and
wildlife smugglers' stores, laboratories and databases of China and
elsewhere, Viral is a page-turner that reads like a detective novel
and goes deeper into the deepest mystery of the day than any other
work. This is the book on the search for the origin of Covid-19.
