Period 1
How do you think Monet got sick? What is his worst symptom?
There are tons of possibilities of how the disease transmitted to Monet. I believe that he got sick by coming into contact with the monkeys during the duration of his trip. In the book, it describes monkeys being used as experiments to find cures for various viruses and diseases. In an experiment, a monkey's contaminated blood was spilled onto the floor when a test tube broke. Monet was feeding the monkey and there could have been some transferring of the virus happening. The monkey's bodily fluids such as its saliva could've come in contact with Monet resulting in the virus entering his body. His worst symptom is continuous bleeding throughout the whole body. As the doctors inspect him, they notice that he is bleeding internally and the blood is coming out of him too.
