me at work: *gets a phone notification*
reads: "lethal virus replicating in china at an alarming rate. human to human transmission, is airborne, highly contagious. scientists say it's reminiscent of SARS & MRSA" (at this point only 2 patients were known, in wuhan)
me to my coworker: "hey, there is a slight problem happening in china right now. an unknown virus outbreak. so, make sure to wash your hands and, try not to touch your eyes/nose/mouth/ears."
my coworker: "oh, hopefully that'll stay in china."
me: "yeah..."
(thinking to myself, it's already too late because of incubation periods and international flights)
(this was a notification from the state department, but it was not information released by news media yet, only released to health care workers, medical students, and people who work for the state department/embassy's sort of deal) thankfully because I was registered to the American medical student association it was forwarded to me and I started my "obsessive hand washing" and "social distancing/quarantine" a little before everyone else
and thankfully I was fired like, maybe two three days after that.

I just want to say, that... there is someone who is very powerful in our government and military, who is appointed to take over, if everyone in the presidential candidacy dies.
there are certain protocols you go through, to set up and prepare for this notion, as well as the notion of nuclear war.
I have confirmation that this governmental official is going through the steps that take place in preparation for these disasters. It's not a good sign.
The placement of "containment camps" and enrollment of the national guard is also not, good.
The reason they're using the words, "shelter in place" is because the notion of lockdown scares people- as that's something that usually involves a certain protocol, which is military law. These quarantine ordinances are one step away though, from, that. and trust me, you don't, want that.
All I can say is,.. prepare for the worst my friends.

Pence? Polosi? Grassley? Pompeo? Mnuchin? Esper? Barr? Bernhardt? Perdue? Ross? Scalia? Azar? Carson? Brouillette? DeVos? Wilkie? Wolf? Or do you mean someone in further down the line for succession because if so WHAT on earth are they expecting? God himself to appear at a state of a union and smite everyone else in line?
Sc is pretty boring.
