On Friday, October 3, thousands of people fled Cordale, Vertshade around noon due to an outbreak in Ebola. Traffic came to a complete stop in Cordale today as thousands of terrified people rushed onto the streets trying to evacuate the soon to be quarantined city.
The madness began around 9 am on October 3, when Cordale Police found a family of 4, deceased in their home, due to respect their names will not be announced. We spoke to the first hand witness Mr. Robinson, the next door neighbor, of the affected family. Mr. Robinson had this to say; "Well after breakfast on Friday's I'd always carpool with my neighbor, so when I arrived to see them all deceased, it scarred me for life. My first reaction was to call the police."
A squad of Cordale Police and a ambulance arrived at the scene as fast as they could. Estimated time of their arrival was about 7 minutes after receiving the call. The two policeman on the scene where Officer Royce and Officer Henderson. Officer Henderson was hard at work trying to piece together the crime, so we were able to speak with Officer Royce, this is what he had to say; "We arrived at the scene around 9:15 am, and began the search of the perimeter. We found the family members within the house in their own beds. The autopsies came back and what it appears is that the family have been tied into a small outbreak of Ebola starting right here in Cordale."
Within a few hours the news had spread like wildfire throughout Cordale, and that was when people started to hit the streets in terror. Due to all the recent news concerning Ebola, this reaction was no surprise to the Police officials. Around 8 pm that night, people had finally settled down, or fled the area. The outbreak wasn't huge but give some time, and you never know what kind of damage a disease could do.
