Human response can NOT stop Internet worms. Sapphire spread worldwide in 10 minutes, and we did not see people stopping it for 3 hours.

As for firewalls, it probably is that many firewalls are misconfigured when it comes to UDP, and a lot of others have the attitude of "That which is not explicitly bad is allowed" when configured.
