I know what you mean. But SOME sort of plan must be put in place.
We’ll only have overnight to act- the attack won’t even be noticed for at least 24 hours, maybe longer, then it must be confirmed. Once that happens you must push pills into the target population. You don’t have another day. From then on each hour delay pushes up the casualty curve, and people have not even begun to get sick yet, so a lot of energy is going to be spent convincing them.
I mistrust the USPS in this task, but I can’t think of a group of people with an existing distribution system, trucks, and shoe leather on the ground six days a week that could distribute the stuff. FedEx and UPS, maybe, if they called i a thousand more trucks from surrounding areas, but that would take time.
Maybe they’ll do training and testing to see what’s wrong, and President Palin can fix the bugs.
The mail carriers won’t do it.
