I just got through reading
The Hot Zone.
Stephen King said that chapter one of the book was "one of the most horrifying things I've read in my whole life."
Although a bit dated (published in 1995) it details (in great detail) what is known about Ebola and Marburg virus outbreaks up to that point. The Ebola Reston virus burned through a monkey facility in Reston VA like wildfire in 1989. You probably never heard about it...you'll have to read the book to find out why...
And you
SHOULD read that book. And then you'll understand why the government is lying through their teeth.
