Many people are inconsiderate towards sickness and the well being of others when they are sick. In the novel The Hot Zone the nun treats people with malaria and when Monet boards a plane with other people when he is severely ill. When the nun is treated people at a church for malaria, she only uses one or two needles. The needles she uses are injected from one person to the next and not being sterilized very often. Some of the people that come up are just rushed through to get to the next person but not every person has malaria. When a person with Ebola or Marburg comes through the nun does not notice and uses the same needle. Also when Monet is sent onto a plane and through an airport when he is in severe condition, nobody thinks about how others will be affected. Monet is even throwing up black vomit when on the plane in the airport. On the plane Monet hands off the bags of vomit to the fight attendants, Monet should not be careless when he sick with a serious disease. Once Monet is at the other hospital nobody at the hospital realizes his condition.
