Attributes of Viral By Matt Ridley PDF
“Chan and Ridley write with an urgency…that inspires gripping depictions of what viruses are, how infectious-disease laboratories work and wonderfully lucid descriptions of bats. . . . They powerfully recount how dangerous pathogens can both leak from a lab and emerge in nature.” (New York Times Book Review) Viral By Matt Ridley PDF
Understanding how Covid-19 started is crucial for the future of humankind. Viral is the most incisive and authoritative book about the search for the source of the virus.
A new virus descended on the human species in 2019 wreaking unprecedented havoc. Finding out where it came from and how it first jumped into people is an urgent priority, but early expectations that this would prove an easy question to answer have been dashed. Nearly two years into the pandemic, the crucial mystery of the origin of SARS-CoV-2 is not only unresolved but has deepened.
In this uniquely insightful book, a scientist and a writer join forces to try to get to the bottom of how a virus whose closest relations live in bats in subtropical southern China somehow managed to begin spreading among people more than 1,500 kilometres away in the city of Wuhan. They grapple with the baffling fact that the virus left none of the expected traces that such outbreaks usually create: no infected market animals or wildlife, no chains of early cases in travellers to the city, no smouldering epidemic in a rural area, no rapid adaptation of the virus to its new host—human beings.
To try to solve this pressing mystery, Viral delves deep into the events of 2019 leading up to 2021, the details of what went on in animal markets and virology laboratories, the records and data hidden from sight within archived Chinese theses and websites, and the clues that can be coaxed from the very text of the virus’s own genetic code.
The result is a gripping detective story that takes the reader deeper and deeper into a metaphorical cave of mystery. One by one the authors explore promising tunnels only to show that they are blind alleys, until, miles beneath the surface, they find themselves tantalisingly close to a shaft that leads to the light.

Many have commented and given 5 star reviews to this book and I agree with them,.
Thousands of animals were tested in China to look for the link between the disease we know as Covid and the original virus which infected workers cleaning up Bat waste in another part of the country. No link has been found i.e. a missing link to show how the original virus became Covid. The wet market theory is much discredited by its absence. A conclusion that a lab leak from WIV is most likely source. The Communist government did everything it could to supress information to the outside. An open approach would have bought the world time by stopping flights into and out of China.
At the time of writing this (Feb 2022), there has still been no real examination of the Eco-Health alliance’s activities in relation to some very suspect research in collaboration with WIV.
In 2018 PRC Chinese scientists were expelled from Canada after attempting to smuggle out pathogen samples, such as Ebola. You don’t do this unless you have a Bioweapons program.

That the origins of COVID are still unknown is a travesty. That the different theories are given a scholarly and thoughtful exposure in this book is great. And that it is an enjoyable read is a bonus.
