A few weeks ago on the D.C. subway I saw a woman carrying a rolled up poster, and rubberbanded to it was a standard-sized paper printout showing a map of the U.S. with about a dozen starred locations. The page had the CDC logo on it and the heading was something to the effect of “Flu Quarantine Locations.” The stars appeared to be clustered roughly according to population centers (the east coast had a cluster of stars, whereas the heartland was more sparse). The woman wasn’t even trying to be discreet with it.
So, for whatever that’s worth. So few locations (again, about a dozen, maybe a few more) for the entire country would be a bit surprising though, no? — nightmare visions of the stadium after Katrina, etc. Hmm.
