#2 The people in the know need verified evidence in order to believe this stuff. This has to work its way up the chain of command.
#3 CDC was responding to the outbreak. You saw the people in the hazmat suits. They didn't alert anyone else since they probably had no clue as to modes of transmissions or the lethalness of the contagion. In that situation you want people in their homes and assure them things are under control.
If you told the American people that an unknown contagion with an unknown method of spreading with an unknown symptom list was out and killing people then you would have had a nation wide panic on day 1. The last thing you want with a contagion is people fleeing the area to infect others.
Strife and I aren't talking about the CDC and the goverment.
Example 1:
We are talking about how the Mother comes home from watching her kid run over someone twice THEN she heads out to get some drugs and smashes her friend/bosses head in. All of this action from what would appear a very typical mother and school employee.
Don't you think this MIGHT have come up in conversation when explaining to their daughter why she needs to come home or stay home to protect her son? Explaining how they may have just participated in potentially two murders of some kind of freaks (in their eyes) might achieve better results in controlling the daughter then just saying "because I said so".
Example 2:
The father is looking for his Son and instead of just texting or telling his son the details of the fucked up stuff that is happening and to get his ass home, he just demands in the name of safety that he should leave the area. That doesn't even go into the lack of conversation with his ex-wife but at least that I can live with. She isn't listening to him anyway.
When a situation gets to the point where you have to bash peoples heads in, we are beyond the point of secrets to spare the feelings of teens.
If my daughter was laying next to her boyfriend who appears to have some serious infection that I already clearly understand is dangerous, I would not be trying to negotiate with my daughter to get her ass motivated to move.
