Topics
年轻医生:描述了医院急诊室的混乱场景,病人因腹痛而痛苦不堪,医生对疫情的严重性感到担忧。 病人:一位病人因检查结果延迟而对医生大发雷霆,甚至向医生扔尿液样本,反映了疫情给病人带来的焦虑和不满。 丹:向戴夫讲述了小镇上关于拉杰尼希宗教公社的争议,以及当地居民对公社成员的负面看法,为后续事件埋下伏笔。 戴夫和桑迪:戴夫和桑迪在吃披萨后患上沙门氏菌中毒,他们的经历揭示了疫情的严重性和对个人生活的影响。戴夫对餐厅可能成为疫情源头感到内疚。 劳伦斯·福斯特博士:作为流行病学家,福斯特博士调查了沙门氏菌疫情的来源,最初怀疑是餐厅的沙拉吧,但后来意识到疫情的规模远超预期。 迈克尔·斯基尔斯博士:斯基尔斯博士及其团队在实验室进行检测,发现所有沙门氏菌菌株相同,这表明有一个共同的来源,但排除了供水系统。他领导团队应对疫情,并最终促成联邦政府介入调查。 CDC官员:CDC的调查揭示了沙门氏菌污染发生在餐厅的用餐区,而非食物准备阶段,这暗示了蓄意攻击的可能性。他们最终没有找到确凿证据,但为后续调查提供了重要线索。 拉杰尼希教徒:拉杰尼希教徒蓄意在达尔斯镇的餐厅中投放沙门氏菌,企图通过使大量居民患病来影响地方选举,最终被揭露并受到法律制裁。
