ok, let's do a sim.
Boston, people are dropping like flies. There are so many bodies that the morgue hires refridgerated trucks to house them all. There is a stench in the air. People are couching and sickly. There are few employees at the hospital and they are quarantined off to care for the remaining patients. All over the US there are similar stories.
The psychological effect on the public is taking it's toll. People are looting. Store owners shoot looters which cause increased racial tension.
Businesses shut their doors and many run on skelton crews from home via computer. The entire country is forced to take a month vacation. Those who refuse to stay inside are collected and put in football stadiums and other shelters which are becoming stinky and rowdy. During all this family members are split up and pets are left to fend for themselves in the streets.
Ok... anyone want to continue this scenerio?

If you are infected with a proven deadly bug you must and should be quarantined for the good of the population. You don't quarantine the uninfected only the infected. As for the vaccinations, I don't see how they will be able to enforce that. It would be next to impossible. Most of the sheeple will take the vaccine anyway out of fear of getting sick and dying.
