week #4

                    Ive gotten back to reading "Hot Zone," it has gotten very suspenseful because they are trying to find out where the virus has come from. This part is entertaining because they're coming up with all these ideas of where the first case might have happened. They have been noticing symptoms of the virus which do not include many obvious reactions to things besides irritation of surroundings. What happens internally is a different story. The virus has produced other sister viruses that act in the same way but end up having different symptoms. For one of the viruses it attacks your brain and doesn't seem like much but you die in an instance because of a hemoglobin in the middle of your brain.
                   In the book it says monkeys are not a stable homestead for the virus but monkeys are the first huge species that got contracted with the disease. There was this man who exported monkeys for money and such but before they export them he does a check to make sure they are all healthy and okay. When the monkeys end up being injured or sick they are immediately sent to be killed. The mans boss was a monkey lover and felt that the monkeys could get better over time so knowing that they sent the monkeys to a deserted island. So far they have predicted that it was a live feeding ground for the virus to feed off of. I love this book because its not only true its very unexpected.
