Mike Davis examines COVID-19 alongside previous epidemics, such as the 1918 flu and avian flu, and links the origin of new viruses to agribusiness, fast food and political corruption. The essay covers the scientific and political side of the pandemic and the ecological conditions that favour the emergence of plagues.
