Pestilence: The Infection Begins - Plot & Excerpts
An urgent meeting of immunologists, virologists and biochemists had been called by Director Andrew Calgleef to discuss the worsening situation that was the latest influenza outbreak in Europe. They’d christened it the “Baltic flu” because the first cases reported came from that region. After grabbing an obligatory coffee, she found herself a seat in the conference center to listen to what Calgleef had to say. “This should be interesting,” she said to a colleague. “To say the least.” The CDC director went straight to the podium—no introductions, he was all business. After he welcomed everyone, he warned not to breathe a word of this meeting to anyone, then continued. First he quoted the latest figures of the afflicted in Europe, including the UK, and cases that had now been reported in the Middle East and in the northern African countries. He then confirmed the fatality rate, which at first seemed extraordinarily high, in particular for the first-world countries of Europe, but those were the facts.
