The Hot Zone discussion

Your post is a bit confusing and I think there is some misunderstanding on your part of the differences in viruses, etc.

I was fascinated with this book. Great detective story--tracking bugs that kill people. Really makes you want to wash your hands more.

Very good book. Interesting learning about the people who work with lethal viruses. And learning about the origin of the Marburg virus. Scary, though that it could actually happen here.. The way the virus affected those people very interesting...
