Ever read the late Tom Clancy’s ‘Executive Orders’?
Part of the book dealt with a deliberate attack of an airborne Ebola strain in several cities around the country. What they ended up doing was a national quarantine. No interstate travel allowed...which was enforced by the National Guard, air travel shut down, etc.
Now (as far as we know), this outbreak is not a deliberate attack. But...if Ebola gets over here, what would they do?
I think people would actually cooperate more than most think. I don’t think Americans are the wimps so many say they are.
