Outbreak! (Scene 2) Natalia: Hey Kendra. I've got some bad news Crystal is in the hospital and in critical condition. The doctors say that she could die. This is horrible. I hope you can figure this out before anyone else gets sick. Kendra: I'm so sorry, Natalia. I have my best people trying to figure this thing out. Every second counts in these situations. Crystal will be in our thoughts as we work. Call me if anything changes and take care of yourself. Narrator: Kendra picks up the phone and dials the Super Crew. Kendra: I have bad news. Things are getting worse down here. On Sunday, I received 100 calls. Forty people have been admitted into the hospital, and six children under five have died. I spent all weekend using your surveys and calling people in the community. I'll fax the results right over to you. I got stool tests back from the hospital, and they are all testing positive for E.Coli O157:H7. Good work. But we still have to figure out where the pathogen is coming from so we can stop transmission. Use the information I sent you to find out the source of this epidemic. Good Luck!
