 JT> Hi Pete,
 
 -> "The Hot Zone" scared the living jeebers out of me! I live only an

 -> flies,"

Nope. The whole thing was hushed-up. A couple of TV stations TRIED to
get the story, but they couldn't get their fingers around anything.
It was not until the book came out that I found out all the details.
It was a very close call for humankind...
On the other hand, had the story gotten out, the panic created would
have been more dangerous than the virus.
