CDC conducting a conference call RIGHT NOW to discuss Federal Public Health Emergency Law - Implications for State and Local Preparedness and Response.
Here is a link to the conference call page with number and pass code. Anyone can listen in, apparently. They are about to talk about quarantine and other social distancing laws. Right now, talking about emergency declarations.

The CDC levels and plans do not account for a widespread event with low lethality, which appears to be what we are dealing with here.
The use of physical restrictions on travel was designed for (and would be appropriate for) smallpox.
It's not appropriate for sniffles.

The call I mentioned above is actually by FEMA legal councel. They are going through a powerpoint deck. Slide 53 is titled “Quarantine and Isolation Law: The Basics”. Again, anyone can call and listen in.

slide 69 is a real gem (bold added by me):
State and Local Jurisdictional Issues Regarding Protection of People
Remember: Police powers, including public health authority, are reserved to states under the U.S. Constitutions 10th Amendment
But: federal and international jurisdictional issues may arise in a given case

Did I just hear Sheppard Smith say the incubation period was 6-7 days? I’ve been hearing 1-2 all along.
That would not be good.

page 31 table 2 shows we are on phase 2 or 3. Consider would indicate some schools should be closed which that is taking place. If Mexico is using a similar plane they are on phase 4.
The US is on phase 2 or 3.

This document is a little confusing there are inter-pandemic periods which are pre-pandemic planning phases you can read on page 17. Then there are categories.
In the US we are on planning phase 4 but we are on pandemic category 2. Which in the US we are expected to lose between 90,000 and 450,000 people at this category.

I think you are right. It is somewhat confusing. I am still going through. It looks like things don’t really get crazy until the WHO goes to phase 6. My understanding is that they may go to phase 5 as early as tomorrow.

it is between 2 and 7 days that might depend on the strain of virus. I am not real clear on this but there are three strains of viruses in the Mexican Flu. H1h1 (swine flu), H2H2(bird flu) and common flu.

Here's something I read on a survival yahoo group:
An acquaintance of mine went to work this morning and got into a conversation with a coworker who told about his weekend. He had gone hunting on a piece of land in Flint, MI, where he is allowed to hunt duck. He came on a clearing and counted 600 brand new black Hummers. He asked the owner what was going on, and the owner said, "Oh, no big deal. The military uses them for training in martial law." Apparently, the owner and the coworker didn't think anything of it. Are we brainwashed, or what?
Let's see. This would be third hand information, and it's hard to imagine 600 Hummers parked out in the wilderness, but you never know. It seems that tension is building all over the world for SOMETHING to happen.
