The National Guard is going to help clean. Really?! Aren't there companies who provide this service?

Can't they do a mass hire with a government contract thereby helping the economy and the unemployed?! The answer is yes.

Sure there are but military personnel undergo specific training to deal with NBC (nuclear, biological, chemical) agents. I remember going through CBRNE training. It involved specialized equipment and procedures.

Think that is what we want considering the gravity of the situation and how rapidly we can reach a SHTF moment. We don't have time for bureaucracy / waiting for companies to bid on a contract.

Think we need assurance more than anything that the protocols being employed are going to be effective in containing this thing and, if not, there will be someone that can be held to a higher standard of accountability.
