    This is the exact set up for a Black Plague event. I know people tend to hold a grudge over the Covid Lockdown, but do we really need to see bodies topple on the street before realisation is made?

    This makes every zombie movie way more realistic than it has any right to be.

      People have alway been stupid.

      100 years ago during the spanish flu we had the exact same shit we had today. idiots spewing pseudoscience, idiots saying its just a cold, idiots saying masks are worse for your health than a “minor” infection, etc etc.

      and I imagine you’d run into the same kind of sentiments no matter how far you go back in history.

      Because people are stupid. People are myopic.

      Individuals may be empathic and genuinely care and do everything they can, but the majority are just mouth breathing plague carrying idiots whose greatest achievement in life is not drowning in the rain.
