So, our priorities should be, in my opinion:
1) Prevent our own infection. - First Signs technology has been leaked in thread, so we vet all people who are light sensitive and DO NOT LET THEM CROSS THE BORDERS. EITHER OF THEM. - This will require military presences at all borders, with the air filters. - Any refugees who -do not- show signs of infection can be let into the country, and hopefully this reduces the impact on our citizen's morale. - Stop all infected animals and animal products from crossing our borders - Any refugees who are vetted should not be transported to the mainland via their own boats so as to prevent rat infection. - All imports of infected animal products needs to be halted. - Scan Ireland, and perform the same checks across its borders. Become an isolated island.
2) Secure our own citizens - Liberate the isles so they are removed from our infection pool. - Maybe give them military as they do so. - Run a scan through our hospital systems to allow effective quarantining of anyone with symptoms, and put in place proper safeguards (air filtration on anyone dealing with the infected). - Do the same thing across Ireland, so that we remove all infected from our isles.
3) Prepare the counterattack on the disease - Research as much as possible to try and get our hands on a vaccine. - Prepare airfiltration flame units as soon as possible.

Can't help but notice no-one really said no to blowing up the Chunnel...

Military preliminary plan:
Equip all armies with filtration units ASAP. First Army gets priority, as they can get into France this turn.
Stilts, work with Germany, see if we can get any kind of coordinated plan on how to handle France. Also definitely let them know Switzerland is starting to turn. If need be, we can also use the first fleet to support the SADPACT action in Spain. We need Ireland locked down, and I recommend closing our borders If the Chunnel sapping is downvoted.
I'm at a wedding, so I'll be out of contact most of tonight. You're all still deputized.

Depending on other angles, we can push England as the last bastion, which can certainly boost our reputation. I can have elements of the Second move into Ireland to fortify and secure once they've been fitted with filters.

I'm gonna try and use my budget to ally with Iceland. Having more island nations we can ask favors of should be really helpful if shit goes really south.
I'm also gonna request that France close their borders. Ireland will also be requested to close their borders until their infection level can be determined.

Gumpy confirmed that we can sap the Chunnel with $4 and two infantry units this turn.
I'm in favor. Anyone against?

Also, we should really start doing a controlled evacuation of France. I'm afraid that if we don't take the initiative there, they'll start getting reckless and desperate.

The less refugee ships we have landing on the mainland the better. Sapping the Channel and then evacuating remaining French people by military vessel seems like a very good way to prevent the infected making landfall.

Done. I have $2 left over if anyone wants/needs it
I also highly recommend going to DEFCON 3 so that we can acquire our own Firestarter contingent at a discount.

Military commanders across the world are enacting Operation Deep Blue, a global blockade of any and all countries showing signs of infection. We are being called upon to blockade French and Spanish refugee boats while we evacuate France. I will adjust the orders to comply with this operation.
Butler please research what is necessary to unlock Firestarters, I get the feeling we will need some sooner rather than later

I think that tomorrow is the time to push forward a resolution calling South America to task for the bailout theft

Not sure where Butler is, but we typically do 2 researches per day, right?
So, like, we could do "Fight It With Fire" and "Health PSAs" to unlock Slash-and-Burn, Firestarters and Mandatory Health Screening?
Or could we research Fight It With Fire and Firestarters at the same time?

I'd go with the second option if we can. Put in a temp order.
Also timspork is super on board the "bring up a motion about South America stealing the bailout" and will forward the info we got about it to Munkus, which is super nice for us. Sounds like they'd be willing to second any proposal about it.
