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.

Thanks for the upload!
is this proper
like is it just trying to push the bat-fucked-a-pangolin theory, and sell me a vaccine?
or does it talk to proper experts?
Omicron was deliberately engineered to end the pandemic:
https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/search/uid/bR1A0XQk/
unable to access cited item :-(
I just tried to access whatever is supposed to be available via this link. However, I got a message saying
The message provides a URL: https://archive.org/search.php?query=subject%3A%224plebs%22 which gets one to what looks like a collection of archived goodies, but if what's being looked for is somewhere within that collection, there seems scant hope of finding it.
Link
I seem to vaguely recall checking the link when it was first posted, and it looked more like an archive of posts - like Reddit.
not sure why that would be.
I just checked the link and it works ok...
Try a different browser, maybe Tor? Or maybe not Tor :)
link works, but where's the actual referenced item?
For whatever reason, I'm no longer getting the error I did previously; instead I'm taken to the archive.org repository, which looks like what I got when following the link presented to me along with the error report. However, I have the same problem as before -- I have no idea which of the things that appear on the screen might contain what's being talked about. I'd like more information on this idea about how Omicron could be an engineered entity. Thanks.
