Yes. The cost, of course, will be the loss of around three to five per cent of the citizenry. That's of course a best-case scenario, assuming a short four-to-six month duration not likely to actually be the case.
At current U.S. population levels, that works out to around 15 million dead U.S, citizens.
I do not look forward to that prospect, but I would not be surprised to see it in my lifetime.
