The Hot Zone: The Terrifying True Story of the Origins of the Ebola Virus
Richard Preston
@CDub1974NC @MeetJess Poorly done movie. Contagion is much better. I recommend the book The Hot Zone by Richard Preston. There is also a series by the same name that was well done. Trivia: One of the guidelines I coauthored shows up in practice in Contagion.
