(The story is told by CDC agent who is studying a cholera case in LA.
During his study he found a journal form patient zero, the cause of the outbreak.
It explains how the patient got infected and why he did so. The name of patient
will not be showed and will be renamed as ‘John Smith’. The events take place
June 15th to June 29th.)
John smith is a modern living 25
year old man who just gradated Form College and got his bachelor degree. After
the graduation ceremony, he and a few friends went to a bar to celebrate. There
he and his friends spend the night partying and getting drunk. However, John
wasn’t a drinker. He did not like the taste of alcohol. He only came along to
spend time with his friends, so he sat there in bar drinking some water waiting
for his friends to leave. Once they were
all were all ready to go. John drove all his friends since one, all his friends
walked to the bar but he drove just because he knew this would happen to them
and two, he was always find to his friends . After they were home we went to
bed. The next morning he decides he wants to go someone. We wanted to go on a vacation and enjoy him a
little. However the placed he went to go was Haiti. He wanted to see if he can
help since they recently had an earthquake. He always liked helping
people. He called some friends and asks
them if some want to come with him. Only two out of five on friends he called
wanted to come. The other three thought it would be a bad idea and they rather
stay in LA. After a week of getting
stuff packed and getting supplies for the trip. They took a plane out to Haiti
and left LA.
After the plane finally landed in
Haiti, it was already close to midnight so they called a taxi and ask the
driver to take them to their hotel they decided to stay at. As the driver drove
to their hotel, they would sometimes notice how the earthquake affected Haiti.
They saw houses with huge holes on the side where you see the rooms and you see people living them and they look
starving like they haven’t ate in a month or two. This moved John in emotional way; he did not
like to see people in poverty or starving. Once john and his friends were at the hotel
and set up in their room. They went to
bed. The next day john and his friends spent the whole day help rebuilding
house that were damaged or destroyed in the earthquake and making food for the homeless who can’t
feed them self. Once that was john’s friends wanted to find a place that has
any alcohol. At first John was worried about his friends because he didn’t want
to have kidney failure due to their drinking. At first he told his friends that
it’s probably not a good idea at the moment then after his friends bugging him
about it, he then decided to cave in. he decided to go to a bar since he felt
they deserved it after a day of hard work.
After an hour of looking they found a little bar that looked to be built
by a destroyed building. John did not like the look of the place. He felt they
were going to be kidnapped by pirates. They went always. They spend 3 hours in
the bar just talking about what they want to with their lives. His friends
where drunk. Since john wasn’t a drink all he had was water the whole time.
John thought the water tasted like rotten milk.
They spent 3 hours just talking what they went to do with their lives.
John told them that he kind of wanted help people like he was doing in Haiti.
Once they were done they went back to the hotel and went bed. Next three days
they spent working on houses and going to beaches. After the days were up they
got one a plane back to LA, on the way back though John starts to feel a
headache coming on.
After the plane landed, John got
ill. The headaches were bothering him and he felt strains in his arms and he
wanted to throw up. One of his friends tells john that he had the same symptoms
as john has. So the other friend had to
drive them home since John and the other friend were not well enough to drive.
Once john got home he fell straight to the floor. He could barely get up, his
arms were weak. He felt himself about to vomit, so he crawled to his
toilet. He spent an hour in his
bathroom; vomiting and he had some watery diarrhea. John later works in his bathroom
on the floor. John passed on the floor. He felt really dehydrated. Once he felt like he was able to walk, he got
up and walked to his sunk to get some tap water to feel better then walked to
his computer. John was worried about what happen to him last night. He went on
the internet and searched what where those symptoms were to. After five minutes
he saw that they were symptoms to cholera. John got worried and then realized
his friend felt ill too when they got home. So he called his friend’s house number
to check up on him. Instead of his friend picking up the phone, it was his
mother. John asks her if his friend was okay but his mom told that last night
he died from having dehydration. John felt crushed. He said sorry to his mom
and hung up the phone. John started to feel worse; he started to stumble across
his apartment. John knew he was about to pass but before he did he called his
friend and ask him to drive to hospital. After the call was made john passed
out.
(On June 28th at 8:45pm John’s other friend found him lying
on the floor of his apartment in puddle of own feces, John was not breathing.
Once he was found john was rushed to the hospital. There they doctors tried the
best that they could to keep him alive but there is no cure illegalized the
United States. They cannot cure John of the bacteria . On June 29th
at 1:58am, John Smith died from dehydration. After studying johns journal CDC
Agent Frank Lundy found the case of patients zeros cholera infection.)
