“The Stealthy Viral Pimpernel: Second Edition” by Bernard Heys is a book that discusses an outbreak of viruses and infectious diseases, including the UK government’s failed approach towards curtailing the COVID-19 pandemic at the right time. The author also includes a record of intensive experience and research on infection prevention and control.

The author has a wealth of experience as a systems engineer, actively formulating practical solutions for the control of infections. Here, he questions why and how there are no measures in place to hold the government accountable for their failures during the pandemic. I learned about the strategies enacted by the government to curtail the pandemic. The social distancing order proved non-viable, as research using high-speed imaging has enabled researchers to discover that some droplets from coughs and sneezes may travel much farther than previous estimations. The stay-at-home order also proved unsuccessful because the tight living conditions of the poor citizens actually facilitated the spread of the virus.

Again, re-circulating air in air conditioners is another contributing factor to infection transmission, as it creates a higher diffusion of infected air. To resolve this, disinfection and clean air should be infused into these systems, especially in heavily occupied spaces. The author goes further by discussing the contributing factors to viral pandemics, such as the way we live, globalisation, air travel, and tourism. He also states the preventive measures to be put in place in order to prevent pandemics.

Heys actively fought for renal failure and dialysis patients to be added to the high-risk list, a pointer to the government’s inadequacies in containing the virus. This book is a wake-up call to the UK government, including that of other countries, to become more strategic in curtailing the outbreak of possible pandemics in the future. Heys brazenly urged the UK government to be accountable and to make sanctions available for inefficiency in operations.

I learned a lot about viruses and infectious diseases from this book. Viruses are an intelligent lifeform with great tenacity for survival, and their lifetime is subject to environmental and other variable parameters.

The book passes on an important message about viruses and infectious diseases. However, I noticed a lot of errors, which made my comprehension of the book quite a hassle. Again, I noticed some unnecessary repetition of some pages, such as on pages 80 and 81, 321 and 324. For this reason, I rate it 4 out of 5 stars.

I recommend this book to teenagers and adults alike, as the issue of pandemics affects all and sundry. Also, it’s beneficial to an audience that enjoys reading about viral pandemics and infectious diseases.
