U.S. Secretary of Defense: As of 8 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, the president has declared the continental United States under martial law. A nationwide curfew of 7 p.m., tonight, has been put into effect, and any citizen caught outdoors between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. is subject to arrest, and detention without counsel. All reserve military personnel and National Guard are ordered to report for immediate deployment. All law enforcement, firefighting and emergency personnel will be federalized, effective immediately. All communications facilities, including the use of landline and cellular telephone facilities will be reserved for military and rescue operations. In order to halt the spread of this contagion, our nation's borders with Canada and Mexico have been sealed. No longer seek shelter in private residences no matter how safely protected or well stocked. Retain all ownership records of private property but do not attempt to transport or defend such property. Rest assured looters will be prosecuted with deadly force, as will any attempts at vigilantism or secessionist political activity. No questions.
