Reflection: I thought this part of the book was good and suspenseful.
It kept you on your feet and actually pulled you into the book. I think that if I had this kind of job, I would try my best and keep my mind on my work. I would give up my social life just to know that I would be able to help contain this virus. If I could help millions of people stay safe, I would feel that I did my job the best of my ability. That I succeeded at making the world a better and safer
place.
