Maybe I am wrong, but if a pandemic ever got bad, wouldn't the first thing you'd want to do is shut down all overseas travel into this country??
Yes. But, it could 'land' here before anyone is aware.
GWB has already asked congress to advise him regarding using the US Military for quarantine enforcement in this country (By law, he can't use them for law enforcement internal to this country).
They may quarantine a town, city or state. It will take a force the size of the US Military to enforce the quarantine...and, I'm guessing, for moving supplies to those quarantined.
I would have at least 3-5 days of food and water on hand, just in case. They keep saying it's only a mater of when, not if.
Personally, I don't think we'll be affected this year...maybe next year.
