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.

Friendly. Humans are a social species, that's the way it works; the battle royale thing is mostly good for television. Even the fucked up shit we do is done socially.

What do you mean about the halo effect? I thought that was about physical attractiveness.
