Science books posess a remarkable power: they calm the reader down by making her/his troubles look small by the awesome scientific facts. I'm not working in science anymore, but I still love reading about it for this very reason: the serenity of mind and soul it brings.
In case of Rita and Tim, though... maybe waiting and calming down wasn't such a good idea.
(I have to admit that my response to deaths of people I know has been to hole up with scientific articles. It takes the edge off.)
All the more so here, since it gives them weapons against the possible plague.
