Three weeks since first case of Wildfire

"We've managed to secure the evacuation of most key CDC personnel from Atlanta. They will be arriving shortly at our main military biomedical research station at a Fort Detrick, Maryland. Our last operational military installation in the north east. Dr Jenner and his wife have opted to remain in Atlanta and continue their work there as long as they can" Robert said.

"So Atlanta is all but lost." The President sighed. He looked up at a monitor on the wall that showed a map of the world. Much of the east and west coasts of the United States were showing red, meaning overrun with infected. Likewise most of Western Europe, almost all of India and the Chinese coastline were red. Much of Africa was still untouched, though Egypt, South Africa, Nigeria, Liberia and Sierra Leone were showing up as red. Millions of refugees fleeing the outbreak in Nigeria had spread the virus into neighbouring countries. An ocean away, Australia had evacuated much of its government and remaining troops to Tasmania as Canberra fell to the undead. The world was falling apart and nobody could stop it. Jim shook his head and downed another glass of Scotch. "What about this emergency session of the United Nations in Switzerland ? Is it still going ahead?"

"Many of the delegates pulled out of the meeting. It's proving almost impossible for anyone to even get a flight to Geneva. Some countries have collapsed altogether. On top of that two Geneva hospitals are reporting outbreaks of WildFire and there are daily riots in the city. By the looks of things this meeting won't be happening." The Chief of Staff said "phone lines in Switzerland have largely been disconnected. We haven't been able to contact the World Health Organisation headquarters there for three days now. Their last update was on Thursday when they declared the outbreak a Phase 6 pandemic."

Jim struggled to believe what was happening. Even after three weeks since the outbreak began, and two weeks since he had fled DC, the idea that all of this could be happening seemed unreal. A bank of a dozen televisions on the wall drew the Presidents attention for a brief moment. Those televisions were the ones that the President and his staff had used to monitor global news networks over the course of the outbreak. Now all they showed was static. One by one the TV networks had gone off the air. CNN was the last of the big US networks to cease broadcasting after walkers overrun their Atlanta headquarters mid broadcast brutally killing the staff live on air. A few independent radio stations still continued to operate, mostly in the Midwest where there were less people and as such the number of walkers was lower.

"Robert are those trains still running out of Alabama?" Jim asked his Chief of Staff. He may have been increasingly powerless but he still cared for those poor souls struggling to survive out there on a daily basis.

"Yes Mr President, for the moment anyway. FEMA has taken over the train companies in most of the states to help evacuate as many people as possible out of the hotzones. The Army is still holding their ground at the Montgomery train lines which are the last operational train lines in the South that are still taking people to the refugee camps in Kansas. How much longer those lines can stay open is anyone's guess." Robert said as he sat down next to his boss and had a glass of scotch himself. They were the only two in the situation room. Everyday there were less and less people in the bunker as people left to find their families. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs had committed suicide the day before after finding out his wife and daughter had died in Denver. FEMA Director Simon Hutchison had formally resigned a week earlier and placed his deputy in charge after leaving to protect his wife and kids. The Secretary of Homeland Security was in the medical wing after suffering a stroke and was not expected to live for long. What handful of government members remained were skeptical of their ability of affect the situation of the ground to any extent anymore.

Because outside the bunker; it was anarchy. From sea to shining sea.
