Notes:
Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic Breathless is the story of the worldwide scientific quest to decipher the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, trace its source, and make possible the vaccines to fight the Covid-19 pandemic. Here is the story of SARS-CoV-2 and its fierce journey through the human population, as seen by the scientists who study its origin, ever-changing nature, and capacity to kill. David Quammen expertly shows how strange new viruses emerge from animals into humans as we disrupt wild ecosystems, and how those viruses adapt to their human hosts, sometimes causing global catastrophe. He explains why this coronavirus will probably be a 'forever virus,' destined to bedevil us endlessly as the virus continually escapes scientists' attempts to catch, comprehend and control it.
