as a private citizen who manages records professionally that would be a nightmare to handle administratively

Yeah, I mean I'm sure it would Which is why I suspect they'd just abolish the drinking age, on the grounds that "you were dead and are now alive, must be tough, you can have booze"

(that said, if you wanted to record who was blipped wouldn't you be able to require all citizens who hadn't updated their license to at least self certify whether they had been issued a death certificate in the past three years?)

Honestly it was already kind of bullshit the Snap didn't just straight up collapse their whole civilization in the first place

I mean I dunno. I'm not saying COVID is like the Snap, but it's definitely a status quo devastating event, and we're living through it and haven't totally collapsed yet. If anything I'm starting to feel like the status quo on *certain* things is more resilient than I thought

Yeah okay but the numbers are important here Our worst case scenario with COVID-19 is 1-2% of the whole population dying unexpectedly (and the worse than worst case is a collapsing medical system pushing the extra deaths up to 5% or more) This is 50%

The notable comparison is to The Leftovers, where it specifically was just 2% but the resulting society is post-apocalyptic

And the controversial ending, where we get the suggestion that the 2% didn't die but woke up in an alternate timeline where from their POV it was other 98% who vanished And saying they were the lucky ones

Because their situation was one of being a lonely band of pioneers in an empty world, and that was, at least, a situation with more clarity of purpose than the 98% trying to hold together a broken society
