The Pentagon is looking at the possibility of using federal troops to enforce a quarantine in the event of an outbreak of pandemic bird flu in the United States, a senior official said on Wednesday.
President George W. Bush said last week he would consider using the military to "effect a quarantine" in response to any outbreak of avian influenza, but provided few details.
This won't require citizens being sent to quarantine facilities, though, will it? And he'll let us keep our guns, right?
This is probably the scariest thing that king george has contemplated yet!
ReplyDeleteI know of another deadly affliction that causes the lungs to become filled with fluid,stopping breath,and causing death.And if I, or anyone in my family,neighbors,or friends,etc.,gets herded about for the purpose of supposed quarantine regarding avian flu,guess what. Avian flu ain't the only thing that will be causing early death.Fella needs to be careful 'round here. I hear there's people about that can think and got guts.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I'm all in a panic. A minimum of 3 billion people in Asia, 60 people die from this and that is a health catastrophe? Uh huh! Sure.
