I’m trying to figure out what this means. Almost sounds like he’s creating a new bureaucracy within the US Post office.
On the surface using the post office to deliver medicine in the event of a biologic attack seems stupid.
But there’s np other organization in the country is better equipped to doliver something to every address in the nation than the USPS. It has its inefficiencies and failings, but on the whole they do their job well.
Seems like an excellent idea to me. It keeps people indoors and not going to crowded centers where contagion is easily spread from person to person.
I think it would work fine as long as the drug can be self administered.
The post office has all of the transportation infrastructure and distribution personnel to collect and distribute the medicine. Mail order drugs are already delivered by the post office every day to millions of Americans.
What may be necessary is for Congress to pass laws that would permit the post office to suspend delivery of regular mail if required to permit the exclusive routing of the drugs.
Other laws may be needed to use the latest census data to determine the number of doses to be delivered to each residence.
Exactly right. This is not about delivery of medicine, it is creating a reason to bail out the Post Office and make them into something that they arent now. Will Postal Workers begin packing guns?
