The short answer to your question is that there WAS a plan and it had to do with limiting exposure to viruses like small pox or pneumonic plague

I think it is pretty clear that the virus was not the "disaster". The government reaction to the virus was the "disaster". They should have had a plan for dealing with that. Maybe sheriffs telling the federal and state regulators to "F" off should have been part of the plan.

Whatever.

Your personal protection is ALWAYs your responsibility. I guess that should have been my primary point. Just say, “No” still works.
