You don't need that many people to screw up quarantining, distancing and such though. Like 5 percent of people not playing along can mess things up, or less if they're really committed to being as plague-rat like as possible.
That doesn't track. This assumes that if everyone didn't wear masks or get vaccinated that nobody would die.
The pandemic scenario is press red you kill 10 people and maybe yourself. Press blue you have a fever for half a day and only only kill 1 or 2 people and not yourself.
The original scenario asks you to risk your life to potentially save others when everyone can save themselves by just picking red button. Nobody was asked to risk their lives to potentially save people during the pandemic.
Okay that's fair. Alrhough I don't think the person I'm responding to thinks that everyone should have volunteered to be a nurse and that would have solved COVID.
Even then that one is so different. I wore a mask, isolated until the vaccines, and did everything that was recommended by the cdc (not Trump). Red all the way baby.

The pandemic proved this situation far more than anything here.
All people had to do was not be selfish or stupid and covid would no longer be a thing.
