I think that watching so many movies I learned that we are the ones who make the most important decision to safeguard the lives of our loved ones... I clearly will ignore the government and act to save my family and I always make the best decision to isolate myself to avoid depending on third party decisions... because in moments of panic nobody knows how to act but yourself.
I think in a role of a regular citizen (aka me right now) I would do the same. I was thinking as a person on the top of the things, if I was a president of a country, I would have more people than my family right now!
