Hot Zone Part 2

First of all, I think it is very cool that they could figure out what virus the monkey's had all from looking at test tube substances under a microscope and comparing them to what the blood from peter cardinal looked like. I thought it was interesting that the black specks usually in the victims puke showed up in the test tube, too. It is hard to believe that this is actually a nonfiction book and all of this really did happen not long ago at all. Reading about the viruses and how quickly they spread makes me turn into a germ freak! It also really surprises me the lax precautionary clothing, masks, and gloves the healthy people had when taking care of the sick people.
