This has the potential to become Obama’s “Katrina”. He seems to be asleep at the switch. The only thing he can tell us is to “wash your hands”.
If a few hundred thousand (or more) Americans end up dying from this, the wrath of the American people will come down on him so hard, he’ll be wishing he had lost the election.
Although it might not kill large percentages, the quick spread of its effects will impact productivity and alertness of the nation as a whole.
If I were concerned at a national level of security in the North American theater, I’d make sure redundant intel resources were available tracking any movements using this as a method to seal off the southern borders as a likely avenue of approach or as a mechanism to reduce congestion in lines of communication from the south.
IMHO, the scenario would make a good Naval War College or Command and Staff research topic on biological warfare in maneuver war.
I agree. I don’t even think it will take that many deaths though. It is clear to many that he has already dropped the ball. With a threat like a ‘global pandemic’ hanging over America’s head...he tells us to wash our hands and refuses to close the borders?
That is not going to sit well with the American people, even if this turns out to be a minor epidemic. His failed ‘practice run’ at protecting this country will be plain for all to see.
