4.  Keep a log of diseases from our unit of study (AIDS, Marburg, Ebola, etc.). For each one, critically analyze not only the power of the disease but also the impact it has had on society. Disease:Analysis of not only the power of the disease but also the impact it has had on society. MarburgMarburg kills 1 out of 4 people that contract it. The disease’s symptoms are powerful because it makes the victim bleed out of every orifice, slowly liquefying some organs, and this cannot be reversed. Because the incubation period is about ten days, Marburg can be a secret killer in those who have it. It took scientists about ten years to finally discover the virus and all it was capable of.

5. QuoteAnalysis “We could be in for a hellacious event….should the army get involved…we should notify the CDC. I don’t want them to be caught off guard…notify Virginia state health authorities.” (page 225-231) The government should keep information from citizens if the info is not verified or could be false. It should be a real, serious threat that is not up for debate. At this point in The Hot Zone, the scientists have proof of the Ebola outbreak. It is necessary to inform society so that extreme precaution can be taken and lives saved.
