But more important to the vast bulk of the population, Kempfer says, is having some rudimentary knowledge of what it means to shelter in place"...Sandy Wedgeworth, the public health emergency management coordinator, said she and her staff felt energized, not depressed, by what they learned from Kempfer...

Don’t forget that the 3rd Fleet of the U.S. Navy, Camp Pendleton home of the 1st Marine Division, North Island Naval Air Station where two Nimitz class carriers are moored right now, the Naval Amphibous base at Coronado are just SOME of the military assets in San Diego County.

Don’t worry California. Obama said that this would not happen if he made deals with NK. He is your messiah. Believe your own gospel!

Why wouldn't they just post some signs around the port's perimeter? Problem solved.

They should be moved to someplace closer to China or Russia then, where they would be safer and of more use. It would also be an opportunity for the men to get away from that creepy, weirdo culture.
