Reddit reviews The Demon in the Freezer: A True Story

I think it's too lake to stop it without a vaccine. For a good read on how we stopped hemorrhagic Smallpox (which has quite a few similar symptoms and death rate), I highly recommend this book:

It covers the story of using the ring vaccination technique to isolate the virus, which eventually killed it in the wild by the late 70s. It was a huge effort, but it worked, and I suspect it would work for Ebola too.

There's a terrifying and fascinating book called Demon in the Freezer that's a true accounting of a small pox outbreak. Its been years since I read it but one snippet that comes to mind is that a patient's window was left open on the first floor of a hospital while they were waiting for him to die and it infected a patient on the 3rd floor who also had their window open and pretty much killed everyone in the hospital. Nature can be quite scary sometimes.

I’m probably going to take a lot of shit for suggesting a nonfiction novel rather than a scholarly source but I think Richard Preston’s The Hot Zone
and The Demon In The Freezer do a good job of laying out the current situation and making for exciting reading. (That said, IANAVirologist.)

I'll add to that list The Devil in the Freezer, a nonfiction account of the struggle to eradicate smallpox and how it's likely that multiple strands of the stored copy in the Maximum Containment Laboratory in Siberia may have wound up elsewhere.
