making it less easy to get into this country from the place with the raging, deadly, contagious epidemic is a no brainier. putting medical personnel returning from the location of a raging epidemic into quarantine is an even bigger no brainier — especially after one of those returning people came back infected.
Any excuse to declare martial law and do away with the elections. The more people that die, the better, because the more scared the sheep are, the more likely they are to follow.
