PHASE 4- The disease spread farther out to other towns. It becomes contagious and widespread faster than the CDC can get control.

Other towns have seen outbreaks and gone thru PHASE 1,2 ,and 3. If another town had 1 sick person and the CDC reacted quickly at isolating the patient and contact ppl,it is still possable to contain the outbreak. So yes to be at PHASE 4,the town must have gone thru all 3 PHASES above.

Until now, life was normal for most of the country. The MSM and CDC could repeat "the public is not at risk." Now to look like they have any control they must b pro-active. They must begin to Quarantene and isolate towns. Depending on how widespread the illness is,they may mean 1 or a few towns. I would expect them to try getting the public to self-quartantene within a small radius for 1 week. YES this is Mashall LAW. We have seen localized ML in the US before. think KATRINA,tornadoes,blizzards,floods. It is not called Marshal Law by the local governments. It is called "curfew". the NG shows up and blocks the roads in and out of the effected area. THIS DOES HAPPEN.

Now that more ppl have been locked down,more news will leak out. some will be rumors and some will b truth. Preppers will stockpile supplies and keep a watchful eye at the beginning of this phase. The general public will go on and life will b normal,outside the immediate area. Concern and worry for those just outside the isolated or quarantene zone will grow.

As a town hits PHASE 4,i believe logic says other towns are already at PHASE 1,2 and 3. This is now beyond control of the CDC. the MSM will have to start asking harder questions. the govern will change tactics from cover it up<phase 1>: to we have it under control<phase 2 and 3> to CYA. They will look for who to blame. "How far do we quarantene?" will be debated by politicians.
