Preston also produces an effective atmosphere of fear by displaying that doctors, who are almost always viewed as being heroic, can just as easily, if not so faster than any human being, get the virus. Preston constantly reminds us of how tiny and how dangerous a virus is. The impact of Ebola or Marburg could extinguish the entire planet if it got a grip. “Within 24 hours, a virus could make its way out of Africa on a plane and into such places like London, Paris, or New York and then spread out to the rest of the world.” The tiny HIV virus has already spread damage throughout the human population of the world, and this is a point the author makes numerous times. A very minute amount of contaminated blood is enough to infect a human with the Ebola virus, so those working in the Hot Zone must always be careful for the smallest little tear that might allow it into their space suits.

With facts about Ebola and how it has been dealt with, the reader is most likely convinced that Ebola must be taken seriously and with great care. If it is ignored or if people lost their minds, it might end up being one of the greatest threats to human existence that has ever occurred. In addition, as can be seen through most of the logical appeals, there is also an emotional appeal. For the kill rate, containment, and media there is an ever present similarity of hysteria and fear.
