CDC SEEKING MISSING PASSENGERS FROM BAT INFESTED PLANE
August 15 2011
Atlanta, GA – Officials at the CDC have put out a call for the remaining fifteen passengers of a flight last week to contact them immediately. The flight, which was travelling from Madison, Wisconsin to Atlanta, had to be grounded after a bat was
found on board. The bat escaped leaving officials unable to test it for rabies, a concern for the remaining fifteen passengers.
35 of the 50 people on the flight have tested negative for the disease.
“We are very eager to contact the remaining passengers from this flight. Rabies is a deadly disease and while we do believe the likelihood of infection to be very low, we want to make sure that everyone is clean. We are urging these passengers to please get in contact with us,” said a spokesperson for the organization. “The test is very non-invasive and quick. If infected, treatment is quite simple and painless however if left untreated, the disease will cause serious health issues.”
While the CDC has the names and contact information for the passengers, they have been unable to contact them. Reports indicate that all passengers disembarked normally after the bat left the plane.
“Rabies is very serious health concern not only for the infected individuals but also for
their friends and families. We would very much like to get in contact with these people as soon as possible,” continued the spokesperson. “We would also urge any family members who know the whereabouts of their loved ones to please urge them to contact us so that they can be diagnosed and treated properly.”
Though it was unspoken publicly, CDC officials have been concerned about a number of mysterious disappearances throughout Atlanta within hours of the flight.
“We have had a number of disappearances in the last few days but we do not expect that there is foul play in any of these incidents. Many of the people were estranged from their families or were indigent people and their absences were reported days afterwards,” said a police spokesperson. “We are not concerned that this bat incident had anything to do with these disappearances and we are not investigating them as such.”
While rabies can cause madness, other diseases like the fictional vampirism, can have an almost immediate effect on individuals.
“We believe the likelihood of vampirism to be zero to none. We have never experienced a case of vampirism in history and we don’t expect that such a thing has happened here. We believe at worst that a few rabies shots are all that will be needed,” 
continued the CDC spokesperson. “It is nothing more serious than that in our estimation but to confirm that conclusion we do need to contact the missing passengers.”
Reportedly, a graveyard just outside Atlanta was vandalised the night of the plane landing.
“We believe we have captured the individuals responsible for the vandalism. They claimed to be just having fun and we believe that may in fact have been the case. No bodies were molested, though a number of caskets were removed but we will track those down. This case is unrelated,” concluded the police spokesperson. “We are working closely with the CDC.”
The passengers who have been found reported nothing strange about the other passengers.
