What Should the Government Do During an Outbreak?

[GeneTwo]

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!

People are totally irrational, and 10X so during times of stress. Watch the first third of Dawn Of The Dead from 1978 where normal people are fighting the cops to protect zombies. Your worried about the military shooting zombies, I would be more worried about reg folks shooting back.
