WBLN! Your news, your station.

Welcome to Talk the Night, with you till dawn! I'm Dawn Stevenson.

I'm here with the campaigner and activist Iain Sweetman.

Now Iain, for those who don't know your...

My wife died during the Raleigh Outbreak.

All I wanted ever since was justice for her.

The Center for Disease Control was unfit for purpose.

Sure, they beat it. But only after so many needless...

... just so many deaths.

Iain, if you don't mind me asking...

... in the Knox Event do you see history repeating?

I hope not. I see activity, and I see action.

That was sorely lacking in Raleigh.

There were more journalists than specialists in the temporary hospitals.

I recall. Several of my colleagues contracted the infection.

It made for good copy from the quarantine camps.

So it added to the hysteria too.

I'm at peace with it all now. Since the court ruling.

But I spent so much of my time fighting to get Suzanne's voice heard.

And when I look at how efficient the response to the Event has been...

I realize that lessons were learned from the entire Raleigh episode.

Maybe it won't happen again.

We're all hoping and praying that's the case Iain.

Thank you for talking through the night.
