has a population of over 28 million people and Kuala Lumpur over 1.6 million plus the many tourists who flock to that city for high end shopping. The CDC Team knew it was critical to try to control outbreaks there as the infection could jump to other highly populated countries and cities. Inoculations using the X554 vaccine had begun, however, it would be literally impossible to produce vaccine quantities in the numbers required. Work was also underway at several labs in the U.S. and abroad to try to find an actual cure although most scientists agreed that once a person became infected the likelihood of curing him was slim.
Investigative teams were pouring through old German war records in an effort to find more information on how Mengele and his team of doctors and scientists had actually engineered the virus so that they could try to reverse engineer it. The canisters retrieved in Wilmington would prove helpful as some of the canisters still contained traces of the virus so that scientists and doctors could study the makeup and how it affected animals and people. Meanwhile only bad news continued to flow into the CDC. The White House and Homeland Security were monitoring the situation in the event that additional cases were reported outside the Wilmington area. The President was scheduled to address the nation that evening and would announce that the super virus that had affected New York State earlier that year had reappeared in the United States and several countries aboard.
THE U.S. RESPONSE
At 8:00 P.M. that night the President addressed the nation and for the first time officially acknowledged that the Super Virus previously used by ISIS terrorists in New York had resurfaced in North Carolina. He said that DHS and the CDC were actively working on containing the virus and on finding a cure or inoculation for its prevention. The City of Wilmington, Ground Zero, was now off limits to the public and no one was allowed to enter or leave the area. The public was advised that initial signs of the virus were a sore throat, excessive coughing and discoloration of the skin over parts of the body. Persons were advised that if they displayed any of these symptoms they should proceed immediately to the nearest hospital for treatment. What the President didn’t tell the public was that currently there was no treatment and that persons believed to be infected would be relocated to interment camps until a decision could be made about how to deal with the infectees. The President also encouraged people to stay indoors for the next week unless it was necessary to do otherwise. The U.S. Government had also enacted a curfew at all the towns surrounding the Wilmington area. Persons were required to be indoors during the hours of 8:00 P.M. and 8:00 A.M. National Guard troops were patrolling these areas and persons disobeying the curfew would be arrested and detained. The FAA had curtailed all flights originating or with connections from Asia for the next seven days. No planes would be allowed to land or depart to or from any Asian country. The President advised that the rationale for this move was the fact that the virus had jumped across the ocean and that major outbreaks had been reported in Korea and Malaysia. CDC Global Rapid Response Teams had been dispatched to several countries to help stop the spread of the virus. The President also informed the public that the virus could produce zombie like characteristics in some of the infected and that contact with these people could be fatal if they are encountered and not avoided. The speech concluded by the President saying that the United States was working around the clock to stabilize the situation both here and abroad and that daily news updates would be posted on all major networks.
Following the news conference the President met with his National Security Council, Homeland Security, the CDC and the Department of Defense. After a very heated
