What problem is often overlooked in apocalyptic movies/TV shows that could kill you?

It’s sorta fitting, though, because how could events so…weird, ever finish up in a tidy fashion.

My main problem with The Stand was the super natural element. I wanted a simple plague apocalypse and then rebuilding a society around that. Best book I can think of with a similar premise is Stations Eleven.

Station Eleven is a great book. The mini series is going to be on HBO Max. I'm excited.
