On Day 6, Dr. Mears arrives at the CDC and she and [[Dr. Ellis Cheever]] discuss the outbreak in Minneapolis.  She arrives in Minneapolis and meets [[Dave (Contagion)|Dave]] and they get started working immediately.  At the Minnesota Department of Health, [[Minnesota Health 1]] tells the group there are 47 cases and 9 deaths as of current, but [[Minnesota Health 2]] warns that the death and infection rate might be low due to it being the weekend and people are staying home.  Dr. Mears brings up the terms fomites and after [[Minnesota Health 3]] asks her to define it, she explains, fomites are transmissions from surfaces. [[Minnesota Health 4]] doesn't want to release information to the press due to how the public might react.  She brings up the time people were warned about Swine Flu and how it did nothing but scare people and reminds everyone that it is the largest shopping season of the year, Thanksgiving holiday. Minnesota Health 2 suggests they close down schools, but Minnesota Health 4 says people won't be able to work at the stores and will have to stay home with their kids.  Dr. Mears goes to the dry erase board and writes down the Flu, Smallpox, and Polio with the numbers 1, 3 and 4/6 for each respectively.  She explains the numbers represent the R-nought or the reproductive rate of the virus.  On Day 7, Dr. Mears and Dave go to the offices of AIMM Alderson and interview [[AIMM Employee 1]], [[AIMM Employee 2]], [[AIMM Employee 3]], and [[AIMM Employee 4]].  AIMM Employee 2 tells her he opened a package [[Beth Emhoff]] sent, AIMM Employee 3 tells Dr. Mears she and Beth did Pilates together before she got sick, and AIMM Employee 4 tells Dr. Mears he and Beth had coffee the day before she left.  Dr. Mears asks if Beth had contact with anyone else and after AIMM Employee 1 tells her no, he is corrected and Dr. Mears is told [[Aaron Barnes]] had contact with Beth after she returned from her trip.  Dr. Mears calls Aaron and she notices he has a cough, and asks where he is.  When he tells her he is on a bus, she tells him to get off immediately.  Aaron gets off the bus and is picked up by Dr. Mears and Dave.  Dr. Mears asks [[Mitch Emhoff]] questions about Beth and when she mentions Beth had a long layover in Chicago, Mitch mentions that Beth once had a relationship with someone named Jon Neal and he figures out Beth was cheating on him.  On Day 12, Mitch finds out he is immune to MEV-1, but Dr. Mears tells him [[Jory Emhoff]] can still get sick due to her receiving part of her DNA from her mother.  Dr. Cheever calls Dr. Mears and asks her how she is doing.  On Day 14, Dr. Mears wakes up coughing and after realizing she probably has MEV-1, calls the hotel and tells them to gather the names of all hotel personnel that she had contact with or cleaned her room.  She then calls Dr. Cheever and tells him she is sick and he promises to get her help.  Later, Dave checks on Dr. Mears and gives her, her phone and tells her they are trying to move her, but the nurses' union are calling for a work stoppage until protocols are in place.  On Day 18, Dr. Mears is laying on a hospital bed as [[Shivering Man]] asks a [[Nun]] for another blanket, but the Nun tells him they are out of blankets. Dr. Mears tries to hand Shivering Man her jacket, but lacks the strength and dies.
On Day 6, Dr. Hextall and [[Dr. David Eisenberg]] are in the Biosafety Level 4 Laboratory examining a sample of Beth's tissue.  Dr. Eisenberg asks how Dr. Hextall's Thanksgiving went and she tells him she working on a case in Texas dealing with a Salmonella outbreak.  Dr. Hextall tells Dr. Eisenberg the virus is pleomorphic but tends towards ovoid in shape with glycoproteins on its surface.  She then tells Dr. Eisenberg to send the sample to [[Dr. Ian Sussman]] in San Francisco.  Dr. Sussman reports the virus shows novel characteristics and appears to be chimeric in origin with 15 to 19 kilobases in length and six to ten genes typical of paramyxovirus.  On Day 7, Dr. Hextall tells [[Dr. Ellis Cheever]] the virus contains bat and pig genetic sequences.  Dr. Cheever tells Dr. Hextall to have any other researcher with samples to destroy them.  She calls Dr. Sussman and tells him he has to destroy his samples.

On Day 8, Damian Leopold holds a video meeting with world officials and tells them he believes there are 89,000 cases in the world and heading towards 267,000. Dr. Cheever tells the people in the video meeting that they haven't figured out a way to grow the virus in cells yet. A Japanese Official asks if the CDC found any treatment or antivirus yet, and Dr. Hextall tells him no. Later, Dr. Hextall tells Dr. Cheever, Dr. Sussman managed to grow the virus in his lab. On Day 21, Dr. Eisenberg is looking over data and calls Dr. Hextall. She tells Dr. Cheever their sample of MEV-1 has mutated and increased its reproduction rate. On Day 29, Dr. Cheever asks Dr. Hextall if they are close to a vaccine, but she tells him no and wishes him a Merry Christmas. She arrives at work and sees Vaccine 57 Monkey still alive from a successful vaccination. She then tests the vaccine on herself.
