The Hot Zone Part 3

I found this part of the book just as interesting as the second.  The procedures that the soldiers must follow still bllows my mind. Again, I understand why everything is necessary but it shocks me to know how even the best protection can still falter (rips in the space suits).  I learned that all the experts were so fightened of a virus that wasn't even harmful to them.  I still wonder about how these monkeys, from different parts of the world, have the same virus.  It just baffles me.  I still have to remind myself that this is a true story and that biological emergencies do happen.

  1. I feel the same way Maddy! I was wondering how all the monkeys from different areas have the virus as well. I also thought it was really interesting on all the different procedures the soldiers followed. Especially before entering the facility!
