Re: The toilet paper and ramen Apocalypse...
Part of your problem in the states, is the fact that the health system is built around the numbers that have adequate health insurance. That leaves some 80 odd million people without any reasonable cover or possibility of any chance of testing and expectation of decent treatment in the event they contract the disease.
Add to that the effects of epidemic contagion overwhelming a system based on helping those that can best pay, the system is looking at a very large potential problem. If the government doesn't put the welfare of the people and the means ALL of the people equally as a priority, it is looking at the potential for serious political realignment.
