yesterday primarily in the Middle East but some elsewhere around the world including in the United States and England.
    “ Conflicts between Muslim extremist groups in Lebanon and Syria are taking place. We will forward any additional information on this and the other events as soon as we receive it.
    “ Right now we will show a portion of a press conference that happened about 11 p.m. last night. This is Dr. Alak Munshi who is with the Center for Disease Control’s Office of Infectious Diseases. ”
    The scene switched to the press conference.
    “ From the sample we obtained from the attempted bombing in Jasim it appears this is a virus strain that causes a form of encephalitis, a swelling of the brain. We believe that this strain goes beyond swelling of the brain and inhibits normal reasoning while heightening primal human urges. ” Dr. Munshi was interrupted before completely reading his statement.
    “ What does that mean? ” a reporter yelled out.
    A deluge of questions followed this one. It was obvious he was not ready for questions and tried to continue reading his statement but was too flustered. A suited man stepped up leaning in front of Dr. Munshi and spoke into the mic, “ A brief question and answer session will take place after Dr. Munshi has read his statement.”
    It was too late, the press conference was in disarray. The scene switched to a panel discussing the statement and events. The names of the four on the screen were listed below them; Aaron Bosh, FOX News, Dr. Rene Millem, Doctor of infectious Diseases, John Hopkins Medical Center, Ret. Brigadier General Harold Jameson U. S. Army, and Dr. Bill Swan, FOX News special contributor.
    “ Doctor Millem, what do you take from the Dr. Munshi’s statement, short as it was? ” questioned Bosh.
    “ We didn’t get much information from his statement but what we did learn and have learned through speaking with sources is that we are seeing a viral epidemic caused by the release of a mutated virus. ” the doctor answered, “T he virus inhibits the Prefrontal Cortex in effect shutting down any form of judgment, such as good or bad , and any emotional connection we may have to our actions. It apparently also puts the host into a rage where it attacks those around it. ”
    “ But in the video accounts we have seen it seems that the infected are not attacking each other, ” said Bosh, “ they are attacking those who appear uninfected .”
    “ We do not have enough information to know why this may occur. ” answered Dr. Millem, “ We do… ..”
    “ Excuse me doctor but in everything that we have seen it looks like packs of infected attacking the uninfected and not each other. ” interrupted Bosh, “ Saying that it may occur is confusing .”
    “ I say ‘seems’ because we have little firsthand knowledge and very limited video footage. ” answered Dr. Millem, “ It is difficult to say what was happening in the events we have seen and what happened afterward. Right now we have very limited knowledge. ”
    “ General Jameson, ” said Bosh, “ we have seen the Israeli military setting up quarantine areas and shooting what appear to be infected citizen as they charge barricades, is this something that the normal soldier is trained and ready to do? ”
    “ Militaries are trained to fight troops much like themselves. ” the General answered, “ However, they are certainly more than prepared to handle situations like this one. Modern military training includes civilian interaction and urban combat. ”
    “ But firing on civilians must be different than someone with a gun shooting at you… .” said Bosh.
    “ Whether it’s a gun or knife or hands or a virus you are carrying makes little difference, ” said the General, “ any solder is trained to do his job to the best of his ability. And I will add that the Israeli military is one of the best in the world at doing its job. ”
