About this tag
The tag 'the hot zone' on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about Richard Preston's non-fiction book 'The Hot Zone,' which details the 1989 Ebola Reston virus outbreak in Reston, Virginia. The book describes how the virus spread through an animal facility, potentially via air-handling ducts, and the crisis that unfolded from October 1989 to March 1990. The term 'hot zone' refers to an area containing lethal, infectious organisms, also called 'hot agent.' Forum threads explore the true story of the Ebola Reston incident, its implications for public health, and the book's account of the event.
