re: #53 Charles Johnson

The movies said that people would act rationally when faced with a pandemic and take reasonable precautions to keep themselves and their families safe.

Guess they were wrong, because in the real world World War Z against covid19, the GOP know nothings are actively courting getting infected with a deadly pathogen and think that clinging to their guns and ammo will save them. Right wingers are out there openly calling on the zombies to bite them and turn them into the walking dead and don’t care how many are sickened or die from this pandemic.

In reality, World War Z accurately figured on governments being slow to respond and not directing the kinds of resources they should have at a problem, and not coordinating their efforts until it was very late in the game.
