Katie,

Thanks for the data. I will try to make sense of why people are dying everywhere and not in sequence, based on when they were first infected. Also, you forgot to send me your daughter’s blood test. You are doing great work.

“Shit,” said Katie out loud. “I knew I would forget something with all these things going on in my head.” She found the email with Hope’s blood test results and sent it to Ben, adding that she was now running the algorithm on Hope’s data to see if any inconsistencies came up and that she would also send those results to him in short order.

After entering the data into her algorithm, Katie decided to start analyzing the specific locations of the data in Siberia to see if there were any obvious patterns. The people in her study were located in eight cities across the region. She quickly sliced and diced the data so that the tests for each city were grouped together. Then she ran a short program to determine the first date of increase in one of the four blood tests in all of the subjects in each city. Next, she took the average of the dates of infection so that she could compare each city’s date to the other.

The data was clear, the first increases seemed to come from the city of Ust’Nera, followed closely by Susuman. The data showed that these two cities started to see increases in the blood test levels about sixty-three months ago. The other cities varied from sixty to sixty-two months ago. Even though her calculations were seat of the pants, and didn’t take into account other changes in the subject’s blood tests, Katie was convinced that whatever was causing SDX came from the vicinity of Ust’Nera and Susuman in eastern Siberia.

She quickly drafted an email to Sarah and Ben.
