Last year, Remnant regular Matt Ridley published Viral: The Search for the Origin of COVID-19, which explored the theory that the virus leaked from a laboratory.

1:36.7	It's just weirdly serendipitous and if we had scheduled this a day earlier I would not
1:42.4	have been physically up to doing it but I feel much better graded on the curve of how I
