I don't know about Illinois but I can tell you a little about the planning for Marion County, IN. I worked for months on a mass prophylaxis plan which is intended to be carried out by local health officials in the case of a massive outbreak of some preventable disease. The plan's target is to inoculate/medicate some 800,000 people in 72 hours! Pretty hard to imagine it could be pulled off but I guarantee it would be impossible without stockpiles of medication. ALL OF IT IS STORED FOR PUBLIC USE! The only government personnel who would get preferential treatment are those considered essential to carrying out the mission and maintaining order. That is as it should be! No, I don't know where the National Stockpiles are because they wouldn't even tell those of us who were formulating the plan. Our plans start at the point where the product is delivered to Indpls by air, truck, or both. I'm sure every major population area is making similar plans..........or should be!
OH, BTW. The plan didn't call for any product being delivered to any homes! Ya' gotta' take just a bit of personal responsibility, as alien as the idea may be to some.
