PHASES OF A PANDEMIC OUTBREAK
3 waves or phases,
PHASE 1- Govern covers it up.Public given little info and told it is under control.Testing of patients at high risk begins.Hospitals are staffed and patients can b treated. life is normal for the most part.
Since hospitals do not want to lose $$,they will not report they have a case of the illness in isolation. This means not all personnel know they themselves are at risk or have been exposed. This includes office personnel, the cleaning dept,the security guards,the kitchen staff,the labs,other doctors and nurses not directly involved with treatment of the sick person. It may mean staff directly connected to the patient as info can be covered up during shift changes. If you don't know,you won't tell the public.
All these ppl who do not know are now helping to spread the illness. These ppl,both medical staff and others who might have passed by in the ER or hallways, carry the disease out of the hospital to restaraunts and home to their families. This leads to PHASE 2.
