What will follow is an introduction of a localized release of a recombinant strain of a pathogen that will tax local authorities.
Think about it. They've got us shut down at the federal level. Now is the time to focus on small targets that will cause major damage. While the rest of the country scrambles for Cipro a quiet release of smallpox or Marburg will create a complete shutdown of local health care.
Then the authorities will react by the CDC model of surrounding the affected area and vaccinate within. Containment will create panic and outbreaks will be reported by the minute.
Meanwhile the CDC and USAMRIID will be chasing their tails playing catch up. How many swabs can they make in one day?
