World War Z chapters 1-3

In the chapters 1-3 of World War Z, by Max Brooks, has a big underlining question of if it's rabies, or really something else. The disease that started in China from a little boy who said to have gotten bitten while diving for treasure in his old village, has now spread around the world and is having people flee to seek shelter. In the book, it is structured like an interview, talking to different people and what they went through while the outbreak was happening.

There were two parts that stuck out to me the most, one of them being  when Israel set up their fortress and people were flocking to it, it didn't raise a big enough commotion from the other nations; they just thought of it as they're crazy. The United States even had a big discussion about it, even asked what if they were right, but, to them, the whole idea of "walking corpses" was a crazy notion, and that's why they were unprepared to the whole outbreak. The second thing that stood out to me was how nobody really knew about the Warmbrunn-Knight report except after the Great Panic. People may have heard the name, but never knew the contents, except Israel, which is why they set up the confinement. Everybody was so unprepared for not knowing the report, the the entire world paid for it with the lives of thousands.
