Which in theory with any sort of living zombie all you’d need to do is wait out the zombies for a few weeks/months while they inevitably starve to death.
Feel like watching your neighbor eat the face off of your other neighbor is a little bit more motivation to stay inside than a microscopic virus. Then again, it isn’t the most wise thing to bet against human stupidity
They wouldn’t just eat people, they’d eat anything. Lots of chance for cross species transmission which would come back to humans later. It wouldn’t just be human to human transmission.
If we get viral zombies, that’d just be something we have to always deal with a little bit for centuries.
Fuck, imagine the balls to go camping knowing some crazy feral human that had been living in the woods for either days or years might be attracted to your fire.
Some antivaxxer CrossFit club gets a breakout and the whole neighborhood is fucked.
I assume they would starve as humans are only good at hunting because of tools. Helpfully we’re not getting the Land of the Dead variety of zombie that is smart enough to use tools.
THE ECONOMY! Everyone must return to work, despite the very low and acceptable risk of being eaten by zombies, in order to keep our real estate investments worthwhile.
If we did the traditional 40 day quarantine of old rather than the shitty 2 weeks lockdown we may have lowered the spread better… But even China tried hard to do zero covid and eventually succumbed 2022 when covid still managed to go out of control

Because wht we learned in the last couple of years is humanity as a whole is totally capable of isolating for a few months without issues

Yeah but what if you run out of toilet paper?
Or need a haircut?
The zombies outside: braaaaids
Then I started blasting.
You couldn’t wait them out…

Oh and exposure would probably get them too
The weakest would die and the rest would eat them…
It’s what happens with locust swarms, you stop moving you become food.
An average person in the woods? Yeah. Probably won’t last too long. But it takes a couple weeks to actually starve.
Then animals eat them, and maybe they get infected. Maybe that goes back to humans eventually?
We still have polio outbreaks, something like this wouldn’t just die out in a few months, or even years.
Rare cases would keep popping up, and outbreaks will keep happening.
Only carrion animals are going to eat those bodies. Unless they poison a water supply, it’ll be fairly limited for it being a hotspot for infection.
28 day/weeks later had an infected crow drip blood in a guys eyes and infected him…
More animals than you think wouldnt pass up some free meat on the ground.
Birds, oppousms, racoons, wolves/coyotes/dogs, foxes, rodents…
And even more that would scavanege tiny pieces from every kill site.
Mice would honestly be the worse, and most likely.
It’s not about them spreading thru attack, just coming into contact with humans.
What about insects, like mosquitoes or spiders?
It’s really hard for a virus, not so much for a fungus
Yeah I can see what you mean. Reminiscent of 28 Weeks Later.

Or they’re eaten by birds and dogs
