The Hot Zone
(2019)

Try not to lose sight of the big picture
This was the 80s. PPE wasn't worn as is today in many industries; including work with non-human primates.

No matter the dramatic flare or details left out of the movie, what could have happened within the U.S. , didn't, because of a mutation. Plain and simple. The potential for devastation and loss within our borders without that mutation would have the crisis, loss and trauma of 9/11 pale in comparison.

This all happened right around Thanksgiving and some of the people working in Reston had been exposed (prior to knowledge or quarantine) were getting on airplanes and visiting families for the holiday. If it would have been Ebola Zaire, every state in the US could have been affected before it was even discovered.

So, maybe instead of getting bogged down with details of this or that, appreciate the bigger story, the bigger picture and the blessing of a simple mutation.
