If, suddenly, a meteor crashed in ...say California and it carried some bug on it which started a Romero/Walking Dead style
Zombie virus, do you think the world would really go as bad as depicted in movies, books and comics?
If everyone on the planet who died after said meteor crashed, rose from their resting places as feral, ravenous zoms with the ability to transmit their disease with a scratch, bite or body juice, do you think we'd all eventually be toast?
Would we be able to stop it, or would the hiding of our dead loved ones (as I'm sure millions would do)enable the virus to gain hold and numbers.
6 billion people, I don't know...could either be a wildfire or just a fire to snuff out.
Thoughts?
