MARSHAL LAW should be enacted in areas where the disease becomes epidemic. ppl become sick that are not dirtectly connected to the patient 0 of each location. we already have H2H transfere between a patient and the contact list or family of the patient. once it spreads beyond that to the general public via the medical staff or prior to the person realizing they were sick,more cases will pop up.

as more ppl get sick in the nearby town,the CDC should
do a locallized isolation.this may be stated as a "recommend you not to travel" or "avoid large crowds".
doesn't matter what they name it.it will be a public health emergency<issued in WASH already andthey are prepping for more patients>. hopefully, it will not just be voluntary. i do think most ppl will follow the advice. "stay home do not travel as u may infect others including your family." that would get most to think at least temporarily. this is the only way the US or any country can slow the spread of
the disease down and buy time to develop an accurate test.

as these local lock downs begin,we are at phase 4.if the govern does get a good test and can treat the sick and the disease does not infect more than the hospitals can handle then we might b O'K. that is a lot of IF's.it also relies on the govern to act quickly, not play cover up and hide facts.
