gawd yeah. I watched U.S. society not merely throw away the concept of public health in real time, but willfully discard all intelligent thought about infectious disease ~Chara

So much pandemic fiction is completely unbelievable, if only because so much of it seems to assume that people aren't generally pro-pandemic.
I think the thing that can be missing in fiction is the political and economic incentives that push against public health (though World War Z actually did a lot with this), moreso than the fact that a certain percentage of people will always take "don't eat the red berries" as a dare.
I love the board game Pandemic, both for its excellent quality as a game and for the fantasy of cooperatively handling a pandemic through science and medicine.
I love that about the middle third of this rag complains that vaccination is a lie for money, and then the table of contents just casually admits that the last third is 100% ads for the author's business

I feel like a lot of problems could be solved if everyone just decided that "killing your boss if they don't treat you good" was a common and sensible solution, and I feel like your idea extends on that pretty well too
