Quotes

Adam Kaufman : [Briefing CTU staff on a monitor] these are the quarantine zones that were set up an hour ago: since then two new symptomatic patients were discovered heading out of Silver Lake and one in Hancock Park. Those two new cases generated five new quarantine zone areas: that's three percent of the city. If containment isn't total, it'll grow exponentially
Tony Almeida : We're all tired, I know that and some of you have been working twenty-four straight. I don't have to tell you how serious the situation is but we can't drift. If there ever was a worst case scenario, this is it, we're in it. Everyone has to stay on point, we switch from "prevention" to "containment." The virus is out
