The article and then book was “Crisis in the Hot Zone”. It covered not just Ebola but also Marburg and the Hanta virus which are all similar. In the article the CDC shut down their lab because they were afraid of a spread of one of the viruses in the 3rd level “Hot Zone”. They sealed up the lab and pumped in formaldehyde to kill everything in it.
Turned out the loose strain was Ebola Zaire which only killed monkeys; not humans. Still the caution exhibited then back in the 90’s is strangely absent now.
In the 1980’s we were told anyone can contract AIDS (as they can).
Now we are told how utterly impossible it is to contract ebola, when all fats contradict this.
Our government is now our enemy.
The Zaire strain of Ebola has close to 80% case mortality. Very dangerous.
