Storyboard Text
- Today at the hospital we are to report on a bacteria outbreak.
- We will be interviewing an epidemiologist to talk about the investigation of the outbreak.
- How does an epidemiologist help a hospital?
- If there is an outbreak in a hospital, an epidemiologist investigates into the source of it and find a way to stop the spread.
- In this outbreak case, why is it so bad that only 11 people got sick? That's not that many people
- 11 people getting the exact same thing in a hospital is bad because this disease could potentially kill someone since this is a hospital and people are already sick
- What were some of the symptoms the sick patients had?
- The symptoms the patients had were: trouble breathing, mucus, congestion, coughing, respiratory infection, and a rash
- Where were the patients getting the bacteria from?
- The patients were getting the bacteria from all needing a saline IV and the IVs being contaminated from other patients.
- Is everybody at risk of catching this bacteria?
- We don't know for sure but all of the patients that had caught it, had weakened immune systems at the time or before hand
