The tragedy is analogous to that in Indonesia (why did I end up going to those two places??? Of all the gin joints in all the world...).

There's no governmental infrastructure which commands even a tolerable level of respect and cooperation from the Egyptian citizenry, never mind the peasantry who know they're solely on their own.

Like in Indonesia, there are political topsters who say the phrases but actually nothing will get done. The only effective governmental agencies I saw in Egypt were the police at all levels, traffic to armed services. The rest was scarily absent.

When this becomes easily transmissible, I'm speculating that the majority of the countryside will die off, humans and carnivorous animals.

The people there are so naive and unwilling to accept responsibility for anything beyond their own immediate family and potentially tribal needs. You saw the first pictures. The one above is merely the outcome of the socio-political reality in Egypt. Sigh.
