The Hot Zone: Part 3

To think, people not much older than me risked their lives to save the nation's capitol. I'm not sure I could have done the same.

One thing I am not sure about is why they had to open the monkey cage door to inject the monkeys, instead of using the pole to inject the monkey through the cage walls.
My guess is that was either due to the lights being off to maintain a low profile, and therefore could not see the monkeys, or the cages were solid, with no holes the sides, so the doors had to be opened to reach the monkeys.

"The Most Dangerous Strain." completely destroys a species nearly identical to ours. My last question is: What if it adapts to humans?
