SPECIALIST ROBERT ARMITAGE: Then people started dying. For real dying, not just old folks and kids. People were dropping dead in the streets. People dying in their apartments and nobody would find them for days. The hospitals, they were turning people away 'cause they had nothing left. But that was okay, because CERA had those mass treatment centers going, and they were going to be it. By that point, the cat was out of the bag on the smallpox thing, but we still had hope, you know? CERA was gonna beat this thing, and then we were all gonna go home. Meanwhile, the city was falling to shit around us.
