Abstract
Flying home from Hawaii, where he has met with a group of Chinese business contacts, salesman Michael Peterson begins to feel ill. This program presents the frightening consequences of his journey, which has transformed him into America's Patient Zero-an unwitting carrier of the deadly, Asian-born H5N1 virus. Peterson soon infects his own son, other inhabitants of his California suburb, and, indirectly, millions across the continent. Although his story is fictional, it represents a disturbingly probable scenario for which even the world's most powerful nation has no satisfactory contingency plan. Dr. Jim Robertson, principal scientist for Britain's NIBSC, conveys the realities of vaccine shortages; Dr. Gregory Poland of the Mayo Vaccine Research Group describes the physiological ravages of a cytokine storm. Original BBCW broadcast title: Pandemic Part two.
