Visiting a burning, inhospitable hellscape where people are actively dying and the rest are having their entire lives destroyed, and doing it for fun because "well, we've been planning it for a while, and want to go somewhere as a family and can't come up with anything else exotic enough for our standards on short notice" is incredibly trashy and selfish.

Yes, it's going to cause the total collapse of modern society in our lifetimes and more death and sufferring than any other event in recorded history, but there will almost certainly be tens or hundreds of millions of survivors. Maybe even billions.

You can't just decide to set up a medical lab and do experiments with infectious diseases and animals without permits and licences and oversight, you know.
Have you seen the shit municipal governments do? They aren't known for basic competence
And no one was ever surprised, except for people stupid enough to buy anything from Muskmelon in the first place.
Why would the state patrol possibly want to do anything about this? Cops are cops, and cops protect each other from perceived enemies.
