Scenario... CV hits the US and is seriously bad.
The CDC would just shut down a business where people became infected, quarantine the whole place and treat everyone. What the people involved wanted... would NOT be a factor.
This debate is pointless. The US can feed itself, supply it's own energy requirements, and has the military required to enforce the govts. decisions.
If necessary we can also lock down our borders completely.

Don't worry, if you have a sub-layer of 60 millions people who will precipitate and maintain the pandemic in your country to over9000 levels, others countries will close your borders for free.
Thus what could happen is gov starting to engage in paying the full bill, applying some old war law that: docs & hospitals MUST accept people for cough without doing a profit over it.
Issue is YET, nothing is done. It's all gone in a month anyway (Dixit the coloured vegetable you elected)
