You know those stories where the world is reduced to a post-apocalypse after a natural event? What if that’s only what happens in the US, and the rest of the world recovers with ease due to extant rescue services?
If it wasn’t for the stupid Darrel Dixon show, my head canon of the walking dead only affecting America would still stand.
They literally just walk, and it would be pretty obvious that everyone is infected after the first year or so of people dying from the flu and shit. Any country with competent leadership could have squashed the zombies in a couple months.
After experiencing the covid-19 outbreak I am now fully convinced that a zombie apocalypse is feasible, there would be people denying the existence of the zombie virus, just going to the infected an getting bitten because they wanted a pizza or something, that and people just drenching themselves in bleach or something because they heard that keep the zombies away from some dude online. Stuff like that.
Isn’t that the case in the 28 X later series? Like England fell to a zombie apocalypse but the rest of the world is doing fine?
…and simply agrees to never, ever, set foot in North America.
I’m in.
Not sure, though, how this ploy would work out for our fine fellows in South America and Canada, the ones currently belabored with being the closest neighbours to The Wastelands.
Fuck Mexico, I guess.
Just uhhh… Build a wall, I guess?
