Guess this is an ad hoc poll for where on the spectrum would you be on the zombie apocalypse, but I do expect halo effect to alter the results.

The question is would you be hostile or friendly to other survivors you come across if they had no recourse for their actions

The main assumption is that You have the inherent resistance to the plague so that way you can you can start in a heavily populated area and make your way out or live in there.

I would be curious if people would hide away for the rest of their lives in a cabin in the woods.

I probably should have asked if people would think other survivors would be friendly. I think people would friendlier because theirs a common enemy and resources to go around

I don't think resources would be plenty. Then look at Covid and how people behaved when toilet paper was suddenly a luxury. And then we at least had a somewhat functioning government.

There was actually plenty of toilet paper, it's just that panic buying causes pointless shortages. If we had a functioning government they'd have rationed toilet paper to make sure everyone could get enough.

Maybe the shortage was not real but imagine what would happen if it were. Rationing? Communists!
