Do not jump out, you will break your bones".

And one day, fire starts. Instead of following rules, people start freaking out. Some of them rush out in hallway as the "do not want to burn in". Couple of them come out unscathed, some of them die of smoke. Some try jumping out from the balcony, breaking legs in process.
One family stays in the flat just as rules say (even if it feels scary). Others point fingers to them saying "what are they doing?? They will die!".
Good stuff!

Statistics and science always win over reptile brain in long turn...
Thing is, "Science" is the battle cry of every bit of false information surrounding this once pandemic response.
