And spontaneous nuclear vaporization is the best way for that person to not deal with the sadness.

And if radioactive rain does hit you, what's the solution?

Guess you'll die.

(In WWII era nobody knew what it was so they would die. In modern age so many things will be contaminated by radioactive rain that you'll likely consume it anyway, unless you were far away from the blast zone there's barely any chance of survival)

I was hinting at the solution being spontaneous vaporization.

No worries! It's not always easy to tell when someone is asking a serious question or just being deadpan.

There wasn't much long-lived radioactive material after the blasts from WWII. You could walk through either city no problem a few days after they were bombed. Weapons aren't reactors.

Depends on the dose. In low doses, coping with it, and facing an increased cancer risk. In high doses, rapid onset trans-cranial lead poisoning.

Seriously, nobody has had a worse few days than that guy
