“can I have 2 hot dogs to go please” – I said to the roadside vendor, he makes the best hot dogs in this district. I replied a few messages on my phone, bopping my head to no music at all.
“here, that will be 3.50” – he said, a big smile across his face as usual. I handed him $5 and walked towards the hospital, eating my hot dog Shamelessly.
1 down, 1 to go… I dipped my hand in the paper bag to get the second hot dog when I saw the bus stopped. I looked up and there was a boy standing a few yards away who was coughing, blood flowed from his eyes, mouth and ears as he struggled to ask for help. “I ca..can’t… Breathe… Help” – he said.
Another woman coming down the bus stairs missed her step and landed head first on the pavement, the blood pouring out of her eyes and mouth.
I dropped the food on the floor, my initial reaction was to go help them but this was unlike anything I had seen, I was only a few houses away from the hospital so I ran, as fast as my legs could take me. “We have a situation” I said to my colleague as I burst through the door. “contact disease control, notify them that this is code red”
I ran to our hazardous room, most of my colleagues were suiting up already. “Hispanic male, appears to have restriction breathing, blood flowing from eyes, mouth and ears, black female, same condition, doa” – I was yelling as as we ran out to the bus.
It took the police 20 minutes to cordon the area, the bus had 13 people who were already dead including the male and female patient I saw. “Help me, please help me” – A young man said from the backseat. He was struggling to breathe, the blood flowing from his eyes.
I walked towards him slowly , my colleague in tow. “what’s your name sir, tell me your name sir” – I said as I opened my first aid bag. “I can’t breathe, we couldn’t breathe, help me please” – he kept saying before he died. Nothing we gave him to help him breathe worked.
The Disease Control technician took samples of everyone’s blood to run tests. The HEMAGGLUTINATION Assay showed that this was influenza but someone had weaponized it.
We were under attack, This was a terrorist Attack.
