If a bio attack like that occurs, it would have to be pretty quick at taking out the US. If it took time, there would be the possibility of a Samson in the temple reaction. Of course, they wouldn't start a bio attack by itself, it would probably be combined with a cyber attack to try to paralyze any retaliation. If I were the norks, I'd try to make it look like China or someone else was behind the attack. Getting my enemies to nuke each other on top of the disease would make things easier.

I hope you're wrong. The combination of things would be civilization ending.

As an aside, how likely is it that the elite are getting saline shots and planning to be the outright rulers once the population is greatly reduced? They could have the green feudal monarchy that they seem to desire.
