Blog #9: How far should the governement go in isolating people with infectios diseases? Should the army be involved?

In my opinion, I think the government would go pretty far in isolating people with diseases that are really deadly like the disease in the movie, "Outbreak." First, it is because the government needs to care about the world's safety and my reasons are mainly based on the movie "Outbreak" we watched in Ms.Malonek's class. Just like the movie-"Outbreak,” if one person was infected with the disease that causes them to die very fast, then other people would get the deadly disease fast too. For example, it will be like a flu, spreading to one person then another as soon as you breathe the air. A deadly, infectious disease can spread really fast so people dying in the same neighborhood could be 60% out of 100%. Barely anyone can make it alive in a dangerous disease, like in "Outbreak", but they will really have to fight; however, your body might not be able to take the disease spreading around your body so you end up dying. In the movie, "Outbreak," the people who died from the sickness could fit the whole truck from one of those army trucks and the army had to burn their bodies from preventing the disease to spread to other people.

The army should be involved when there is a harmful disease. If a person catches the disease, yet only the government knows, it will be the citizens getting hurt; therefore, if the army doesn't do anything, then the disease will spread as fast a rumor does in high school. The results might turn out to be that barely anyone will live in this world and the world might end in the year 2012!! For instance, fifty people can get infected/die within one hour.

procedures & protections for entering a hot zone biocontainment facility

When you enter a hot zone biocontainment facility, you have to care about safety first before anything else! That means you have to take off your clothes and wear one of those safety suits before going into the chamber. You should also wear gloves like about three pairs for safety, the more layers, the more safe! But before wearing the gloves, you have to remember that you have to clean your hands or clean yourself. Then, you would also have to check your space suit if there are any ripped holes to prevent any air getting in when you are inside the hot zone biocontainment facility. However, you also have to go into this place that cleans your suit from germs before going inside. When you go inside the hot zone biocontainment facility, be sure to have some kind of badge to represent that you belong to the hot zone biocontainment facility or else you cannot enter from a guard that is protecting the hot zone biocontainment facility place. Be sure to keep your space suit on, on all times because if you don't, deadly germs or viruses can get into your body with in a second. Remember to be extremely careful when you use needles because you can get infected when you poke yourself with it. If you do, you have to use iodine to wash it off and hope you won't get infected when there is a chance. In the hot zone biocontainment facility, there are many viruses and testing materials in there, so you would have to always look at stuff around you to watch if anything bad might happen. The deadly diseases are mostly locked with a padlock and tape around it to keep people in the hot zone biocontainment facility more safe. Therefore, there are protections to prevent any viruses from getting through. For example, there are some sticky stuff to cover up any viruses from getting through.
