No, honestly. I thought in the modern ages something like this would be contained, or immediately vaccinated against. I didn't anticipate there would be so many fools making every effort they can to not only keep it around, but help continue to spread it. I had a low opinion of humanity before all of this, but this just capped it all off with the selfishness and stupidity with masks and vaccines.

Makes me wonder. If a zombie apocalypse ever happened people were like "we're too advanced" or "our military and governments would deal with it quick".

Now I think the governments would not know what the fuck to do. While there would be people calling it a hoax until a zombie comes up to their door and literally breaks it down.

I made the mistake in thinking we'd come together to beat it in the first few months if it ever happened. Didn't expect it to just drag on and on and on and for the world to be inundated with selfish idiots.

Well, historically we were a bit overdue for one to happen...

The west in particular, since we live in a bubble.

The funny thing about telling others to take the high road is how often it's hypocritical advice.

This is pretty much what I was going to post. I thought our CDC, and foreign government equivalents, would have prevented anything on this scale from happening. Of course, it did happen and the measures that they have taken have been undermined or completely undone by selfishness and stupidity.

Eh, my family on both sides have been pretty disciplined and responsible about it since the outbreak began.

Our strategy? Not being worried about anyone else and focusing on us. We've been that way WAAAAAAY before any pandemic and it applies to other things as well. It's been working rather well, I might add.

Hell I didn't expect to find out that my nation isn't the hero I thought it was and that police officers abuse their power. Being a ignorant little kid of the world was pretty blissful.

"Just let herd immunity kick in!" wasn't the strategy I thought a lot of nations would go with.

Yes, I did. If previous lives are real, I'd have probably died during an era of strife, starvation, and disease running rampant.

I'm living through a lot of things I never thought I'd see.

Chris-Chan raping his mother? Who saw that coming?

God, we live in exciting times.

No. Heck, it was like 4 months until I even started taking this one seriously, after the nothingburgers the last few turned out to be.

It would be like in Dawn of the Dead, where people would be unwilling to put down zombies, because they used to be loved ones.

I'm not surprised nor do I find the response surprising. I'm not terribly concerned either. I don't expect this end humanity nor will it change them. It may take time but it will become manageable and one way or another, those who resist vaccines will be silenced. But another event like this one will inevitably come around and we'll see a very similar history unfold.
