An African
man with glasses stood behind the podium reading from a statement and
immediately began taking questions from the anxious press waiting to
acquire information below.
"We don't know what's going to happen--"
"--Are you saying the military is unprepared?"
"At the current moment we're assembling every bit of armed force
locally and internationally to help with the current conditions of
the city--"
"--What caused this?"
"--We're not prepared to divulge that, but the infection has
spread to the point where we'll be evacuating survivors, and studying
this disease."
A
reporter stood up, "Disease? You said you weren't sure what
caused this."
"We're not. The government has been
completely sideswiped by these riots. We've sent all local officers
and emergency personnel and we're attempting to control it."
"Where
did this come from?"
"We're not sure."
"How
has it spread."
"We're not sure."
"What can
the public do for safety?"
"We're asking that they
remain calm and begin evasion. Bunkers, basements, attics, we're
asking you to retreat into them, if you're unable to, we ask that you
stay in your home, and begin boarding any open areas. Windows, doors,
floorboards, and we ask that you stay calm." A tall man in a
black suit walked to him silently and slipped him a paper whispering
in his ear.
"At this time, we're asking the public to
avoid these things. If you are near any of these infected
individuals, arm yourself, or retreat immediately," the press
murmured anxiously, "Get in your cars if it's not too late and
find a place to hide. Avoid contact with these infected individuals
as much as possible. They are extremely dangerous, they are very
violent, and they WILL attack anyone upon contact."
"How
will this affect hospitals?"
"Hospitals are taking in
survivors, but at the moment many local and national hospitals are...
closing down."
The press gasped in outrage and stood
up.
"We're asking everyone to evacuate. Where ever you are,
evacuate immediately, and seek safety. If you know someone who is
infected, anyone who has a fever, or has died, flee immediately. The
country is now going to a state of emergency, and we will be
enlisting armed forces into different states to control this
situation, I will not be answering anymore questions. Go home and get
to your families. God bless."
