6 Steps to the Truth:

Step #6: Complete the Picture.

On May 17 during lunch hour, a truck got an accident on bridge 610 over the river. The spot was very close to downtown area, where many people worked at and therefore there are many witnesses. Around 500 microblogs related to this accident were reported. More than 20 Witnesses claimed that the severe accident smashed the truck and caused it to spill its cargo. But there was not much information on what the truck carried and what the leakage look like.
At that time, the sky is clear with West wind at 8 mile/hour. The river underneath flowed South at 3 mile/hour. 12 hours after the accident which is mid-night of May 18, there were less than 50 cases of fever reported. 7 hours later at 7 am in the morning, there was a outbreak of flu-like symptoms including fever, chill and breath shortage in working zones where people started to work. During the working hours of 8am to 6pm, 5891 ID cases on inhalation are posted. All of which are posted in the airborne transmission affecting locations.
On May 19, the situations become worse. 47% more inhalation cases were reported. Even worse, there was a outbreak of gastrointestinal symptoms along the vast river. The infected persons had symptoms like stomachache, vomit, diarrhea and nausea. These patients mostly stay at home from May 19 to May 20 and total number of gastrointestinal related patients didn't increase significantly.
On May 20, inhalation disease is still out of control as it is epidemic. All hospitals were crowed by patients with flu-like symptoms. Check this Tableau Dashboard

Origin
Question: Identify approximately where the outbreak started on the map (ground zero location). Outline the affected area. Explain how you arrived at your conclusion.
Answer: The outbreak location is near the 610 bridge. At the early stage, there are mainly two affected area. One part is on south of 610 bridge along the Vast river. The other part is on west of 610 bridge spread by the west wind.

Transmission
Question: Present a hypothesis on how the infection is being transmitted. For example, is the method of transmission person-­to­-person, airborne, waterborne, or something else? Identify the trends that support your hypothesis.
Answer: The infection is transmitted from different channels. It is a mix of airborne, waterborne and person-to-person transmissions.

Containment
Question:Is the outbreak contained? Is it necessary for emergency management personnel to deploy treatment resources outside the affected area? Explain your reasoning. (Please limit your answer to ten images and 1000 words. )
Answer: The outbreak is not contained and it is getting worse. Emergency management actions are necessary to control the epidemic from spreading out.
