The Price of surprise. Days one through six
Description
It began with flu-like symptoms, but within a few days progressed in severity until patients began dying in droves. Emergency rooms were overrun, and hysteria had enveloped the metropolis. What was the cause of the ghastly plague? In this program-part one of a hypothetical scenario-ABC News anchor Ted Koppel delivers three successive reports, tracking the advance of a fictional biological attack over its first six days as the medical community scrambled to identify the pathogen and treat the victims.
