Eugene (Gene) Johnson
A Frenchman who lives in Kenya near Kitum Cave in 1980, Monet contracts Marburg after visiting the cave. His swift and horrifying decline is described in excruciating detail. Most terrifying of all is the fact that after he grew ill, Monet’s doctors put him on a commercial flight to a hospital in Nairobi, potentially exposing millions of people across the world to Ebola through air travel. Monet eventually hemorrhages on the floor of the hospital’s waiting room, infecting Dr. Shem Musoke and dying shortly afterwards.
