Analyze and explain the following quote

“The workers at Reston had had symptom-less Ebola virus. Why didn’t it kill them? A tiny difference in the virus’s genetic code had apparently changed its effects tremendously in humans. And if it should mutate in some other direction… Imagine a virus with the infectiousness of influenza and the mortality rate of the black plague. The Level 4 strain could turn into a cough and take out the human race.” – Chapter 28, pg. 254

In Reston, Virginia where the Ebola outbreak occurs at a laboratory of Hazleton Research Products. They are all worried about the news media getting hold of the information. What do you do here? Keep it a secret, try to get out in front of the story, or let it all out at once?
