What Should the Government Do During an Outbreak?

[ClearSights]

As of Chapter 29 we have additional information on how the government reacted in the We're Alive universe.

SPOILER 

Military bases are over run because commanders hesitate to have their troops fire on the zombies. The entire country goes silent within seven days of the outbreak. Only Fort Irwin and the City of Boulder, Colorado remain zombie free.

So Lesson 1 of what the Government should do during an Outbreak is order the troops to open fire!

Hey Cabbage Patch, that reminded me of the book Tooth and Nail by Craig DiLouie that you recommended ahwile ago. That book pretty much follows what would happen within the government during an outbreak. And also very clearly shows how they were hesitate to fire upon the infected.
