The day is over, you are driving home. You tune in your
radio.
You hear a little blurb about a little village in India
where some villagers have died suddenly, strangely, of a
flu that has never been seen before. It's not influenza,
but three or four fellows are dead, and it's kind of interesting,
and they're sending some doctors over there to investigate
it. You don't think much about it, but on Sunday, coming
home from church, you hear another radio spot. Only they
say it's not three villagers, it's 30,000 villagers in the
back hills of this particular area of India, and it's on
TV that night. CNN runs a little blurb; people are heading
there from the disease center in Atlanta because this disease
strain has never been seen before.
By Monday morning when you get up, it's the lead story.
For it's not just India; it's Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran,
and before you know it, you're hearing this story everywhere
and they have coined it now as "the mystery flu".
The President has made some comment that he and everyone
are praying and hoping that all will go well over there.
But everyone is won- dering, How are we going to contain
it? That's when the President of France makes a announcement
that shocks Europe. He is closing their borders. No flights
from India, Pakistan, or any of the countries where this
thing has been seen. And that's why that night you are watching
a little bit of CNN before going to bed. Your jaw hits your
chest when a weeping woman is translated from a French news
program into English: There's a man lying in a hospital
in Paris dying of the mystery flu. It has come to Europe.
Panic strikes. As best they can tell, once you get it, you
have it for a week and you don't know it. Then you have
four days of unbelievable symptoms. And then you die.
Britain closes it's borders, but it's too late. South Hampton,
Liverpool, North Hampton, and it's Tuesday morning when
the President of the United States makes the following announcement:
"Due to a national security risk, all flights to and
from Europe and Asia have been canceled. If your loved ones
are overseas, I'm sorry. They cannot come back until we
find a cure for this thing." Within four days our nation
has been plunged into an unbelievable fear. People are selling
little masks for your face. People are talking about "What
if it comes to this country," and preachers on Tuesday
are saying, "It's the scourge of God."
