  I do declare it was. I was activated back to active duty due to the emergency. We also shut down the United States for several months.

  We can debate if it was the right course of action, but it was an emergency even if it was inflicted.

    @wintermute_oregon ehhhhhhhh a 1% death rate doesn't equal an emergency in my book. I get that people were scared, but still, cooler heads should prevail when it comes to government leadership

      It’s easy to decide these things from the other side of history. At the time, when very little was known about survivability, transmissivity, etc, it was absolutely an emergency.
