What I've described is a weaponised pathogen specifically designed and deployed so as to be confined mostly or completely to North America. I suggested it as a direct response to the question of how could you bring the US down a couple of notches just before or during a circa 2030 Twilight War.

Targan, I get your point totally that the intention is not to introduce a global pandemic to the scenario. However, I think the challenge with this is summed up by RN7's post below

It would invariably spread beyond America in the early stages of the outbreak and become a global pandemic.

I think any proposed infection serious enough to affect the USA to the extent suggested would inevitably spread worldwide and, as RN7 said, become a global pandemic.
