    An Effective Virus

    Are you addicted to shopping? According to John de Graaf, David Wann, and Thomas Naylor, just about everyone is. In the article, "The Addictive Virus", the three writers succeed in supporting their claim that Americans are buying too much "stuff" and for the "wrong reasons". The article uses a casual tone and easy language to create an effect that is light and somewhat humorous at times. Along with its mainly easy-to-read content, the article keeps its integrity by including quotes, statistics and some basic truths about the life of a consumer.…

    The Hot Zone

    A company called Hazelton Research, in Reston, Virginia was a quarantine center for monkeys. In October 1989, many monkeys started dying. Samples were sent to Fort Detrick (USAMRIID) for study. At the time, people thought the virus was Simian hemorrhagic fever virus, a fever harmless to humans but almost always fatal to other primates. When they sent it to biosafety level 3, one of the samples appeared to be contaminated with the harmless hemorrhagic fever virus. Two USAMRIID scientists exposed themselves to the virus by sniffing the flask. When they tested the samples with known Level 4 agents, only EBOV reacted. After one of the monkey house staff members becomes ill with nausea and violent vomiting, USAMRIID is given permission to send in a team to…

    Significant Health Care Event

    Ever since the Ebola virus was discovered in West Africa in 1976, it has become the most resilient and lethal virus known to date. The Ebola virus has become one of the most fatal diseases in the world (Evans & Kaslow, 1997). The latest outbreak of this disease in West Africa has infected over 70 people and out of those, 43 infected died due to the disease (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2014). This virus has been responsible for the death of thousands of people in West Africa, and the number keeps growing. During the past month, the United States has had two cases of Ebola.

    Summary Of Part One: The Shadow Of Mt. Elgon

    This newly discovered strain of Ebola has researchers interested, but they’re approaching the facility with many safety precautions. For example, they were required to wear protective suits and were expected to take a ten minute break after every one hour of work inside of the faciliy. Nancy Jaax and her husband Jerry would constantly remind their young privates to be cautious, to amplify the severity of the situation. Even though this newly discovered Ebola strain isn't deadly to humans; Ebola's ability to transform and adjust to new environments strikes fear into researchers knowing there's a possibility of a potential mutation in the virus. The military's take over of the Reston Monkey house was predictable, yet necessary. Strict precautions needed to be enforced and the military was the best fit for a successful lock down of the Reston virus. The killing of the monkey's was sad, but the threat of spreading the virus proves necessary for this situation. This piece was significant to the book because it once again strengthens the severity of the situation, it scares the audience into believing that this is a life or death scenario with all of the prearranged precautions being followed through by the U.S. Military. This relates to the most recent outbreak because of the intensity, not only in safety protocols but the dedication to effectively remove the virus and…

    Viral Hemorrhagic Fever and Ivory Coast

    Picture, for one moment, numerous bloody bodies lying scattered and moaning in agony in blood-soaked beds as the life is slowly and painfully drawn from them as if they were soldiers that had just returned from one of the deadliest wars in history, bruised, battered and broken by their enemy. But they had fought no war, and had never laid eyes on their enemy, for the very thing that was destroying them was living and replicating at an enormous rate, right inside their own bodies. This is the gruesome image of what a hospital looks like when its patients encounter the Ebola virus. Today the mention of its name alone can instill fear in anyone has heard much of its unpleasant effects. Yet, many do not just how horrible those effects are or just how Ebola has come to be what we know it as today. Ebola has only in fairly recent times emerged from its hiding place in the depths of the tropical rainforests of Africa and is now seen as one of the most lethal and efficient viral killers on the planet, certainly a potential bio-weapon threat that could prove extremely devastating.…
