Because the point was, if it gets to Earth we're f**ked.
AVP and AVPR especially,
undercut that fear by saying;
"Nah it's fine, they've been on Earth for hundreds of years- at least."
Undercutting the fear? I mean not really....like the Queen was in suspended animation, so of course it wouldn't be a
active threat. However it should be killed either way to ever prevent a possible infestation.
I would like to point out though, the movies had shown that the areas it took place were isolated from any mega large civilized areas, hence why the infestation didn't spread out so quickly and even look how quickly the town and the expedition fell in over hours. Had it been a city, shit would have hit the fan so much quicker. Both times, the infestation had to be nuked in order to be stopped, and those infestations were
small in scale. I would imagine in a large city like LA or New York, among the chaos and confusion, the alien population would explode and soon spread out to other areas and start infestations there as well. Meanwhile, LA or NY would be nuked and no one would know if there were any other aliens out there until reports of other areas indicate xeno activity.
Its rather sheer extreme luck that both infestations were isolated and far from large metropolis areas. I mean the panic, chaos, and disbelief of it all will favor the xenos. If people don't wear the mask for the sake of health risk of corona, what makes you think that this kind of behavior will be any better in dealing with xenos?
