TurboPox. Well, instead of a chicken in every pot, I'm waiting for my Govm't issued paper suit and cheap plastic goggles.
They seem more anxious to round us up, than to educate us in self-defense and home care. Why? Will there be no mid-level, short-lasting exposures that we can prepare for? Only super-sized and needing quarintine? Curious.
The only debate is whether to issue vaccines or not, and the only reason to hesitate is that the vaccine has a mortality rate associated with it.
Assuming we get enough vaccine for the American public again, we could easily do it. The problem is that it would kill a couple hundred people. Do we kill that many in order to safeguard the rest?
The current thinking is no. The vaccine is still effective even after initial exposure, so the plan would be to vaccinate in circles around an initial outbreak, or possibly to vaccinate all first-care providers now.
That assumes that someone attempting kill Americans would do it only a few areas, something which is no sure bet.
