It ends with death. //Contagion// fictionalizes the world's emergency response to a respiratory disease outbreak, which is partially filmed at the CDC headquarters. The film follows the process to investigate and response to the outbreak.

==__[|Virus 411]__== You must know the difference between bacteria and viruses in order to understand the mechanics of a virus. Bacteria cells and the cells in your body work in many different ways, whether its beneficial to you or not. A cell is a stand-alone living entity able to eat, grow and reproduce. Viruses are nothing like that. Viruses are about a thousand times smaller than [|bacteria], and bacteria are much smaller than most human cells. Viruses are so small that most cannot be seen with a light microscope, and can be observed with with only an electron microscope. Viruses vary widely in their shape and complexity.A virus particle, or **virion**, consists of the following:
 * Nucleic acid - Set of genetic instructions, either DNA or RNA, either single-stranded or double-stranded
 * Protein coating - Surrounds the DNA or RNA to protect it
 * Lipid membrane - Surrounds the protein coat (found only in some viruses, including influenza; these types of viruses are called **enveloped** viruses as opposed to **naked** viruses)

===__Virus Infection & Other Facts__ //A virus infects a human(and animal) cell through through cycles, regardless on the type of cell the viruses host is. // === Once inside the host cell, some viruses do not reproduce right away. Instead, they mix their genetic instructions into the host cell's genetic instructions. When the host cell reproduces, the viral genetic instructions get copied into the host cell's offspring. The host cells may undergo many rounds of reproduction, and then an environmental or predetermined genetic signal will "turn on" viral instructions. The viral genetic instructions will then take over the host's machinery and make new viruses.
 * //The Lysongenic Cycle://**
 * //The Lytic Cycle://**
 * 1) A virus particle attaches to a host cell.
 * 2) The particle releases its genetic instructions into the host cell.
 * 3) The injected genetic material recruits the host cell's enzymes.
 * 4) The enzymes make parts for more new virus particles.
 * 5) The new particles assemble the parts into new viruses.
 * 6) The new particles break free from the host cell.


 * //How a virus works://** *The sequence of events that occurs when you come down with the flu or a cold is a good demonstration of how a virus works
 * 1) An infected person sneezes near you...
 * 2) You inhale the virus particle, and it attaches to cells lining the sinuses in your nose.
 * 3) The virus attacks the cells lining the sinuses and rapidly reproduces new viruses.
 * 4) The host cells break, and new viruses spread into your bloodstream and also into your lungs. Because you have lost cells lining your sinuses, fluid can flow into your nasal passages and give you a runny nose.
 * 5) Viruses in the fluid that drips down your throat attack the cells lining your throat and give you a sore throat.
 * 6) Viruses in your bloodstream can attack muscle cells and cause you to have muscle aches.
