Ejemplo: con que solamente se dé una mutación que combine varias características, como que se transmita por el aire y tasas de letalidad, superiores al 90%, ya estaría liada. n 1999 when Richard Preston’s The Hot Zone: A Terrifying True Story was first published, I was driving between to teaching assignments and was listening to this book being read on the air. I never heard the first few minutes of any read nor all of that days reading. I thought I was hearing the latest Michael Crichton medical thriller. The parts I got to hear gave me far more chills than Andromeda Strain. My thing about science fiction is that I have to know how the monster is slain and how the good guys win.A Frenchman who lives in Kenya near Kitum Cave in 1980, Monet contracts Marburg after visiting the cave. His swift and horrifying decline is described in excruciating detail. Most terrifying of all is the fact… The good news is that we have learned better techniques for containing Ebola outbreaks over the years. We have designed better equipment to protect workers and put better quarantine practices in place.

a b c d Andreeva, Nellie (9 February 2021). " 'The Hot Zone: Anthrax': Harry Hamlin To Play Tom Brokaw, Dylan Baker Also Cast In Nat Geo Series". Deadline Hollywood . Retrieved February 23, 2021. Well, I'm glad I didn't read this when I was a kid, because Ebola is even more horrifying than my little 12 year old mind could have conceived. It's awful. And this book gets graphic. It's also informative, engaging, and most of all chilling. It didn't help that I was burning up with a fever the majority of the time I was reading the book, but EVEN STILL. You can't help but contemplate the very thin line we tread between the perception of our impenetrable safety and a viral outbreak that has the potential to wipe out humanity.

Heading research on Ebola at the Institute is Eugene Johnson (Gene), who has hunted Ebola for decades—most scientists are too scared of the virus to work with it. He injects monkeys with Ebola Zaire (using a strain taken from a now-dead nurse named Mayinga) and then attempts to cure them. It is Nancy’s job, along with her superior, Colonel Anthony Johnson (Tony), to dissect the monkeys when the cures fail (as they always do). After the laborious process of putting on a spacesuit, Nancy and Tony enter the hot zone and begin their dissection. They continue until Tony notices a tear on Nancy’s outer glove (they both wear three layers). She exits the dissection room immediately and is horrified to see that the blood has gotten to her innermost glove—but it has not touched her hand. She has just barely escaped exposure. The experiment ends soon after this incident—but not before Gene and Nancy discover that Ebola is able to mutate and make itself airborne.Ebola is a horrific disease and the holocaust such a virus could wreak is terrifying. Books on diseases like this usually conjure up existential dread which sits uncomfortably with the sense that one is gawking at a car crash. Preston describes the spread of Ebola Sudan in 1976, which was made worse by the use of unclean needles to inject patients, and Ebola Zaire, which kill is what killed Mayinga. He recounts how a team of American doctors identified the Ebola virus and traveled to Africa to try to treat and study it. In the next few chapters, Preston describes two outbreaks of Ebola. The first is a Sudan strain of the disease that strikes a quiet storekeeper named Yu G. and spreads throughout his district. Later on, an even more deadly outbreak occurs when dirty needles are used at a medical clinic in various villages across Zaire (now known as Congo). Both outbreaks cause hundreds of deaths, but Preston provides particular details about Mayinga N., who contracts Ebola while working in Ngalemia Hospital and dies after being quarantined in Kinshasa for two days.
