Description: |
Imagine a killer with the infectiousness of the common cold and the power of the Black Death, a killer so deadly it destroys 90 per cent of those it touches. It is a virus and its name is Ebola. This book offers an account of when this highly infectious virus spread from the rainforests of Africa to the suburbs of Washington, DC in 1989. |
Synopsis: |
In March 2014, the Ebola outbreak in West Africa was first reported. By October 2014, it had become the largest and deadliest occurrence of the disease. Over 4,500 people have died. Almost 10,000 cases have been reported, across Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Nigeria and the United States. Impossible to ignore, The Hot Zone is the terrifying, true-life account of when this highly infectious virus spread from the rainforests of Africa to the suburbs of Washington, D.C in 1989. A secret SWAT team of soldiers and scientists were quickly tasked with halting the outbreak. And they did. But now, that very same virus is back. And we could be just one wrong move away from a pandemic. |
