In the beginning it was not that way and the people rescued from their roof tops in the sewage laden and corpse filled water in the 90+ degree heat with no food and water might find the Dome or another shelter a little better. Also, do not be surprised if in the end, they find people dead from snake bites and/or eaten by hungry wild animals.

I mean when the govt., based on expert opinion, orders you to do something and tells you that if you do not, you are placing the your life and the lives of others in peril, you do it - period. Again, these able bodied people are thwarting the rescue efforts of people who cannot help themselves. This is kind of a no brainer to me.
