Its right in front of you the whole movie. Most of these citizens had very terrible and likely terminal pre-existing diseases. Now I wonder this, would more of those people have lived if people weren't panicked about the simplest cough or sneeze? Would there be more beds and staff to take care of them if people didn't bum-rush the hospitals for cold-like symptoms?
