What is Level 4: Virus Hunters of the CDC about?
“[McCormick has] been face-to-face with Ebola in Africa.... He... worked for days inside a mud hut that was smeared with Ebola blood, on his knees among people who were crashing and bleeding out.” —Richard Preston, The Hot Zone Now with a new foreword by the authors about the novel Coronavirus pandemic. Sublimely equipped to survive, to propagate, to conquer, the virus is neither really alive nor really dead. Its dimensions are measured in molecules. It attacks by dismantling its human targets cell by cell. An ancient adversary, resident on this earth long before our evolutionary ancestors arrived, the virus is without conscience or compassion, without mind. It enjoys the advantages of countless numbers and infinite time. It is a being almost too simple to understand and too basic to outwit. We are locked in a war with the virus. Each battle kills some of us. The battles have many names: Ebola, Lassa fever, Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever, AIDS ... Dr. Joseph McCormick and Dr. Susan Fischer-Hoch have met them all; and they have fought them all. Level 4: Virus Hunters of the CDC is their story. It is an intense, personal account of more than a quarter of a century on the front lines
