If you think it's fine as is, then call it good and put it up. Yeah, I was going to say what you commented. I did add a sentence where I mention they are kind of isolationist by nature and go out of their town when they choose to.

Just a few points for the Doctor.

The disease in my story isn't CWD, it's inspired by CWD for humans, with the ferocity of Eloba which kills people in a matter of days left untreated.

Now this is a disease that detiriorates the brain to a slab of slime in a matter of days and the story itself is about a month in duration as a whole... I don't see too many people venturing out once infected.

Since the story is told from a first person perspective, even if the outside world knows and freaks out at the moment the story takes place, the narrator who hadn't gone around an external source of information doesnt know of this... and honestly why would he even care.

We are getting stuck on the wrong points that showcase realism. sheee
