Day 9 - Outbreak

On this day in lab, we began to watch Outbreak. This is a movie made in 1995 that shows how  a virus spreads. We got about half-way through the movie and will finish it at another time.

*App of the Day - One must always be careful not to spread any bacteria and must especially be conscious of contact with animals. In the movie, the virus is spread through monkey sputum, sharing food, and kissing someone who is sick; disease can be spread through contact, droplet, or airborne means. You have to be aware of the possibility of sickness becuase otherwise, especially working as a nurse, one could endanger the lives of patients by careless behavior.
