I'm not making light of the situation, I'm well aware of the severity of it. I was involved in the '83-'84 east coast outbreak.
The only issue I have is some one- jerk reactions in some states to possible contaminations with no positive test results. I believe these depopulations are being done...
Question concerning the depopulation being federal law:
When was this law passed by both houses of congress and signed by the President? Otherwise it is merely an agency regulation.
There is a little thing called the constitution. It has not been set aside for this outbreak.
