week #7

                     In 1976 cases in Africa started to break out, no one knew why until they had a theory that the virus spread from the dead to the living. Many funerals happen often, before people get buried loved ones often kiss the dead before no further existence on earth; which led to that theory because a lot of people who said their goodbyes by kissing ended up getting Ebola a few weeks later.
                    I posted a previous post stating all about Nancy Jaax and her wanting to learn about and handle the Ebola virus in her job, well shes back. Nancy was so excited about the job, she broke down in tears of joy in front of her boss. she was beyond thrilled even though there were rumors about her having shaky hands and not being able to do the work because she was a married women. but when she had an interview with her boss he believed she was perfect; he still needed to make sure the rumors weren't true so he supervised her when working in the lab. they had to go through all the steps to get ready to face the hot agents, which were a lot but totally worth it if you didn't want to become the viruses host. the monkeys were back also, some injected with the virus and others not. there was a drastic change in personality for healthy and unhealthy monkeys. That's all I read about this week but I think it was pretty interesting reading about Ebola. it may not seem as cool to you but I like it.
