People are different in many ways; by looks, by likes, by
preference and of course by how they deal with difficult things. Learning that
you have a deadly illness is never easy, but how you treat the news can mean
all the difference. In the novel The Hot Zone people contract three different,
but deadly, strings of Ebola. One nun who caught the disease while working in a
hospital/school left her fate to prayer and kept calm, believing that god would
care for her. She went to a hospital to get help with this disease that was
slowly killing her. When she passed away a nurse, nurse Mayinga, that was
caring for her contracted the same disease and went into complete denial. She ignored
the fact that she was ill and went to a city to prepare to travel to a
different country in order to go to school. She carelessly exposed many people
to the deadly virus and put lives at risk. One person that is very close to me
have nerve cancer. She’s had it for years but has not told many people. She receives
treatment but tells people as little as possible of what is going on. She is a
strong woman and doesn’t want those who care about her to worry.
