FWIW, my opinion, I think the first sign of an outbreak would cause a temporary halt to all interstate commerce and all international border crossings. That means all the food in the grocery stores will be gone in 24 hours and all the gas at the stations will be gone as quick.

There will be a quarantine of affected areas like this country has never seen before.

I'm afraid you're right. Those were high among the findings when they condensed the results of Dark Winter. They found that the healthcare community was quickly overwhelmed, they had to choose WHO got the vaccine and who didnt (not enough to go around) and they quickly lost control of frightened people.

It resulted in the participants suggesting that if this ever occurs, the govt should quarantine at a faster pace to control the populace and prevent further spread of the disease. That study is quite factual, but not for thr faint of heart. Kinda wish I hadnt read it, but Im a nurse so I thought I should learn about it.. in case.
