WBLN! Your news, your station.

This is Richard Gershwin, behind me General John McGrew is...

Good evening ladies and gentlemen.

Oh, we're starting.

Thank you for attending tonight. I only ask for orderly and responsible journalism.

I have requested that this broadcast play on all media channels embedded with my troops.

First and foremost: we are safe.

America is safe.

Today we can confirm that, yes, the nature of the Knox Event is degenerative.

It causes panic and confusion among sufferers

Some of whom will then perform acts that are... un-American.

The initial period of contagion is over.

There is absolutely NO need for further panic.

Panic... engendered by irresponsible and unofficial reporting.

Sufferers are NOT deceased.

We ARE establishing the likelihood of discovering a cure.

At this stage the infection is passed only through DIRECT fluid contact.

This means bites. This means scratches.

My thoughts are with those poor souls behind the Event line.

But this is contained.

It has always been contained.

We are safe.

America is safe.

Thank you.

General! General!

I said no questions Richard! When we have news you'll hear it.
