Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic by David Quammen

5.0

Atruky captivating book, especially during the SARS-COVID19 Outbreak. Around pages 420-460 it gets weird when the author tries to create a story around a fictional Patient Zero with AIDS; it helps to describe the sheer luck/fluke that still affects us to this date. But I'm especially impressed by how the end of the story focuses on influenza virus. We've known about coronavirus' for decades, and yet we are still blindsided by their effects
