The government didn't just role over and give up without a fight in the crash. The contagion spread quickly, and as police and military forces fell back from it, they took efforts to slow or contain the blight.
One of the tools in their arsenal where rapid deployment riot barriers. These concertina wire assemblies where semi rigid and self supporting. Importantly they could be used to very quickly put in place a semi effective physical barrier against casualties.
Some of those barriers are still in place, representing both opportunity and threat to takers.
Opportunity because they are great enclave fencing material, and threat because they often block thoroughfares and can have dozens of casualties tangled in them.
