At first glance, Richard J. Baily’s book, “Coronavirus: Everything You Need to Know About the Wuhan Corona Virus and How to Prevent It,” appears to be an authoritative deep dive on how to prepare for the pandemic.
The book, however, isn’t what it appears to be. Each of the book’s chapters were directly plagiarized from other parts of the web. The first two chaptersby Erika Edwards and Sara Miller published in late January. The third chapter, which is dedicated to cleaning tips, was ripped from the website for Nancy’s Cleaning Services, a housekeeping company based in California. The remainder of the book is plagiarized verbatim from articles on ChinaLawBlog.
But its books section appeared to have little oversight. Baily did not write the book and does not appear to exist. A book with a nearly verbatim product description, titled “COVID 19 Coronavirus: All you need to know and how to protect your family from it,” was published on Amazon by the author “Gerald Lim Wang.” That book, which was 31 pages long, was deleted from Amazon on March 9.
