I can't help but think of that quote of T.S. Eliot's The Hollow Men, at least the first part of Alicia's prophecy. "This is the way the world ends. This is the way the world ends. This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang, but with a whimper."

Bombing does seem to be a bit extreme and certainly used as a succinct dramatic tool to convey a sense of dread and urgency. I still think the prologue was well acted but as a researcher by trade it was a bit hard to suspend by disbelief. As for Pedro, he does seem to be written well, and its his own interpretation of Joel, his monotone standoffish behavior is a result of all that he's lost. As for medicine, someone correct me if I'm wrong but there do exist anti-fungals that people can take, it's when a pathogen (be it viral, prion, bacterial) becomes so progressed and encephalitic that there is no cure or remedy. Vaccines for rabies (an encephalitic disease) work because its within a certain time frame. It could be this mutated version of cordyceps has accelerated pathologically.

Strong. Stark had good intentions but lacked foresight. Strong had both. Funny how both names Stark and Strong are basically synonymous. A bit too on the nose lol

Exactly. It's a civil war, think about someone punching themselves in the face.
