watch out countryside...

You're right there NR.

People have a fight or flight response, right? WRONG!!! They also have a third response. Freeze in place! Oh wait, maybe a 4th one. Denial. Like that ship that was taking on water, and the people in the dining hall even as the water was lapping around their feet, they sat there and kept eating their meals!!!

People either respond or they shut down. They can shut down both mentally or physically. If someone shuts down mentally, they'll just get on as if nothing is going on.

That is another reason the vast majority of people won't leave a city. They'll assume that everything is okay, or it was a 1 off occurrence and it will never happen again, so they can stay there and be safe!

Aren't people crazy?!?!?!?
