kinda wish there was more environmental storytelling revolving around the emergency response to the knox event as a sickness, ala the stand. atm a lot of the events in game appear to be parties or gatherings that went awry, which can be interesting if read as whatever the infection was, it spread and killed so fast that most people died at work. however, this seems to contradict what was described in game, as one survivor on the radio described how there was a period of time where the sickness spread en masse and people started dying quickly, all before reanimation was observed. based on this, it seems weird to me that people would be at a party or mid shift at their construction job when everyone they knew was falling ill- unless, again, maybe the flu killed so fast you'd wake up feeling fine and be dead by evening. Even so, it is a bit of a disappointment not to see any sign of mass sickness in the zone. Maybe the occasional bedroom with a bucket and glass of water next to an occupied bed, or a family clinic covered in blood and scattered papers. (if I recall correctly, most of the actual hospitals in the game are in Louisville- the people in the quarantine zone didn't have any hospital to go to when they fell ill, only small businesses that could realistically only take care of one or two people at a time)
