Should the US be an Amber Zone?

[ManOfGrey]

Riddle me this...

A Tech-Level-8 world, with a Government-4, (a Representative Democracy,) with a Population level of 8, (population multiplier of 3,) is suffering through a year-long, world-wide pandemic. The disease is air-born. Despite this fact, ironically, many of the indigenous population refuse to wear filter masks, even when mandated to do so. 7.6% of the population has caught the disease, (over 25 million.) Most patients have completely recovered, but some suffer from varying long-term disabilities. If infected, the death rate of those infected is 1.6%, (421,239.) The health care system is being strained to its limits.

Political leaders have not had much success in controlling the outbreak, but a vaccine with promising results has just been developed. Some of the population, however, is refusing to take the vaccine. There is much civil unrest.

The disease has begun to mutate.

Should the Imperium declare this world an Amber Zone?

(For those who are curious, these statistics are taken from the US Census Bureau, and the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center.)

No one enters, no one leaves.

Or to qualify that, where permission is granted, self isolation or quarantine.

Which sort of goes beyond a traveller warning.

 

[ManOfGrey]

A Red Zone then?

No one enters, no one leaves.

So... the Imperium should interdict the planet, and declare it a Red Zone?
