World War Z chapter 5: Turning the Tide

Chapter 5, Turning the Tide, was mainly about what was going on after the great panic and what the government and their military were doing to keep everything together, and keep the zombies away from where they are. One part of the chapter that I found interesting was how Paul Redeker re-did Plan Orange, and turned it into "Orange Eighty-four", which was a plan on who lived, and who was sacrificed amongst the African population. Who was chosen was determined by IQ, income, fertility, and anything that seemed a desired quality or trait about that person. But what was even more surprising, that even though this plan made him the most hated man in Africa, when people came for him, they wanted the plan to be taken into effect, and it did. I am just shocked at how desperate they were that they were ready to keep a few of their citizens and then throw the majority out as bait to keep the zombies away from the ones they actually want saved.
