It appears that the U.S. military is taking this coronavirus outbreak extremely seriously. An executive order has been issued which has initiated the implementation of “the Department of Defense Global Campaign plan for Pandemic Influenza and Infectious Diseases 3551-13”. We don’t know all of the details of the plan, but we do know that it instructs U.S. military officials “to prepare for widespread outbreaks”. Many in the mainstream media continue to try to convince us that this virus is not much more dangerous than the common flu, but if that is true then why is our military taking such a dramatic step? The following comes from a Military Times article…

An executive order issued by the Joint Staff and approved by Defense Secretary Mark Esper this month directed Northern Command and geographic combatant commanders to initiate pandemic plans, which include ordering commanders to prepare for widespread outbreaks and confining service members with a history of travel to China.

The Navy and Marine Corps messages, issued Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively, reference an executive order directing U.S. Northern Command to implement the Department of Defense Global Campaign plan for Pandemic Influenza and Infectious Diseases 3551-13.

“...then why is our military taking such a dramatic step?”

It’s called preparedness. It’s why we have FEMA too.
Even if corona doesn’t get out of control, it’s a big wake up call. Massive strategic mobilization will probably need to be something that can’t be planned after it’s need arises.

The military does what it’s told. The author might have pointed out where executive orders come from.

"Why is our military taking such a dramatic step?"

Because it's time to do so.

We need to be setting up large open air quarantine facilities in Hawaii and on the US Minor Outlying Islands.

If in a month they are unnecessary, all that's lost is some canvas and some sweat.

If we need them in a month and they're not there, we are f***ed.

Every epidemic wargame (Dark Winter, Atlantic Storm, Virus X) shows the right decisions always get made, but they always get made too late.

For once, Team USA is an all star team and they are staying, for once, ahead of the curve.

That's why.

Nothing to see here, folks, we do this for every sneeze and sniffle...

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

Excellent. Thank goodness Trump is in charge. This will turn out to be a very beneficial dry run for something much worse like a weaponized Ebola virus. Are any of the 14 US cases of non direct Chinese origin? Do we have a person to person infection here yet?

Wasn’t the deployment of troops during WW1 from Kansas to Europe accused of spreading the 1918 virus?

Michael Snyder unnecessarily frightens people for a living and has been doing this a long time.

Just go into his archives and read some old stuff and you will never take him seriously again and probably get pretty pissed off at his cynical scare tactics.

Do we have a person to person infection here yet?

Two spouse to spouse - one in Chicago and one in Minnesota I believe.

I got this alert last night.
