Hello,

As we get deeper and deeper into the world of "hot agents", we learn more and more about viruses with unknown origin, no vaccine and no cure.

Option two:  What are some examples of foreshadowing in the chapter "Total Immersion".  How does Preston hint at what might happen?

I will see you tomorrow,
Ms. Betsy
