who gets into level 4 without proper training? it takes months of training to even be allowed in level 4, not talking about working.

[twispsalterego]

@outtabuzzinezz months? try years working the other biohazard levels.

[timeisart927]

One of my absolute favorite books. Preston is an engaging writer who really knows how to write a compelling story.

[themvsmevsu]

just imagine how small the Ebola segment is...

in the book it showed a pic of it, it was magnified 112,000 times

one hundred twelve thousand times!

magnified!

that is SMALL.

im about half way on the book

i like it=]

[ScientiaVeritasEtLux]

but what's really cool about filoviruses is that the virus particles can sometimes be as much as half an inch long (even though they're extremely thin, and must be magnified 112,000 times to see it). Really neat stuff.

[alllitangio]

I don't know if I study Microbiology or Medicine..... I DON'T KNOW... it's a hard decision.......

[MatiasDiNapoli]

I'm also reading the book and it's pretty interesting.

[jdills1196]

Im on the ending chapter its such a great book :3

[Thatguy80111]

He wrote "The Cobra Event"? That book had me pissing myself at night. I couldn't finish it.

[xxJMStudiosxx]

My Science teacher read the human ebola section of the book, its so descriptive. it makes you feel as if you were to throw up. and what a painful death!

[Turdman21]

[TakipiFlame]

HOT stands for a deadly virus!!! it not a damn virus made by the military or government stupid. and its no zombie virus its the most deadliest virus on our planet!

[BING4663]

as i was reading this book of Richard Preston, i was facinated by the fact that some people can really have that horror driven instinct that can crash the human race! a must read book to all who love humanity.

[ph34rl0rd]

ahahha its a zombie virus they dont want mass panic and thats why they wont tell you that

[zekuno]

lol my teacher wouldn't let us read this.....

[28PatoB]

i'll try to get this book in my country.

[o0envia0o]

I cant believe people think you can contract fucking Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome from a bio-virus.... AGHHHH.

[TomScatCat]

Hey everyone

meh hehe my

[DubRite]

it was a great read

[KARStarla]

Was there a quarentine procedure followed at all?

[stone1home]

The term "Hot" presents yet another example of military doublespeak (euphemism). Why is the military involved in this hideous research?

[Daritto7117]

I read his book in my 8th grade class about Ebola in Uganda, Germany, and Washington DC.

I found it extreamly insightfull. I really enjoyed it with my entire calass!!!
