Moore, OK (again) or some other moderately populated exurban city gets flattened by an EF-5? Domino effect of potentially infected people are coming in and out of the area from the four winds in the process of responding to rescue efforts and evacuating the wounded to other hospitals AS WELL as the notion uninjured people will head for any place they can (or inn the event another Joplin doesn't occur where half of the emergency / intensive health care system doesn't get nuked) which could be areas where the disease hasn't spread by that point.

If it lasts long enough, substitute inland areas in the graf above for the East / Gulf Coast and it's Katrina II: this time with viral pneumonia.

On-edge cop plugs a black dude in an urban area for any ambiguous reason? Ferguson II: Electric Boogaloo.


Food supplies get cut off and cannot be replenished in any sort of orderly fashion as you mention? Riots.

Water or power goes out? Same thing. Shit, think if ISPs conk out. How many people have no way of distracting themselves that doesn't involve Netflix, Youtube or Pornhub?


On that note, I'd suggest downloading everything you can if your streaming services allow it for offline use. Can't imagine there won't be unbearable lag at points if enough people are sheltering in place all at once.
