If Zombies obeyed laws of physics, people living close to equator and poles would be most safe as even if zombie, they could not stand cold either hot.
But if we talk about Hollywood Zombies, yes, US and all armed citizens and military likely would come on top.
While having easier access to guns might offer some tactical advantage, survival in a zombie apocalypse would likely depend more on resourcefulness, community, and adaptability rather than just firepower!
Not necessarily, in a zombie apocalypse it wouldn’t just be zombies you have to worry about, but also other humans who will compete with you for limited resources, who will also have easier access to guns.
I think Americans (and I say this as an American) would fall rather quickly, due to those firearms.
There are plenty of intelligent firearm owners here- but a LOT of them. A LOT LOT of them, own them for a feeling of superiority. LOOK AT MAH GUNZ and shit. It’s wild. Every time this question crops up somewhere people get these John Wayne hero fantasies about getting into shootouts with the horde and all this crazy shit, and the reality is- those are the guys that die. Either they make stupid hero decisions, or they think they can take what they want and someone bigger and badder than them comes along. With (assumed) lack of government and no real societal limit on morals- peoples act right would go out the window and they would start eating each other alive at their earliest convenience over a box of twinkies.
Now if you were smart enough to GTFO, lay low, and wait for everyone to take themselves out and shit to blow over, you might have a shot. But being one of the guys on the front line trying to John Wick the zeds is a great way to end up 10 toes.
Or they’d have an easier time fighting between themselves for resources, increading the death count.
That assumes guns would help there, which depending on your specific zombie lore, often they don’t really help as they attract more zombies than most people could practically carry ammo
RFK would go on TV and tell people they never had zombies when he was a kid and so they are harmless. If you get bitten just take some vitamin A to treat it.
Some folks would bunker up, but some would definitely send their kids out to be bitten because it cures parasites which are the actual cause of cancer, don’tchaknow.
Actually I think the easy access of guns will lesson the chance of survival .
People without common sense will walk around with guns all the time. And the chance of friendly fire will increase.
The noise of the guns will also attract more zombies.
And many people who would now not even think about shooting a person will do that sooner with the better him them me mindset
Nah…American’s would turn on themselves faster than the zombies could take them out.
Did you forget the last time America had a plague? Guns or not I don’t think it would go well for them simply because the same rugged individualist-bordering-narcissist mindset would cause people to charge headlong into the horde unsupported and eventually eaten or worse use those guns to live out their CoD fantasy on human neighbors with no real survival plan beyond killing each other.
Americans would deny the zombies were zombies and would get eaten up faster than anyone. Or they’d claim that everyone should be a zombie and try to spread the infection as fast as possible.
Guns probably wouldn’t be all that effective against zombies since they’re already dead. Dismemberment would be the most effective and efficient way to render them inactive. Also, guns require bullets which are a consumable resource and would be very hard to replenish without factories.
Initially maybe, but what happens when you run out of ammo? Also, shooting would attract lots of zombies.
We’d have a better chance of survival because our country is so damn vast. Forget the access to guns, you just need access to a vehicle.
No. 1/3,of Americans would deny that there is a zombie apocalypse although it’s clearly happening all around them. 1/3 just wouldn’t care. 1/3 might fight to survive.
Well. That and like 35% of the US population actually hopes that it happens……..
What makes you think that guns kill zombies? Death doesn’t even kill zombies. Why would guns?
Less chance. Millions of Americans with guns in a lawless hellscape are probably more dangerous than the brain eaters.
Nope! To survive a zombie apocalypse one needs life skills and common sense, not a bunch of weapons.
Depends a lot on the zombies. If they couldn’t swim or float, then island communities might have a much better chance, if they didn’t last for a very long time, then places with more isolation might survive better.
North America might be very protected by its sheer size. Why would the zombies travel along the roads? How would they deal with distances?
No. Most of the Americans with guns would also be the Americans who claim the zombie apocalypse is a liberal hoax. They’d be dead before they had time to react.
Switzerland and Israel would do well. And despite their best attempts the South African citizenry is pretty well armed.
In my limited experience of zombie apocalypse which is playing project zomboid getting guns usually ends up in death alot sooner
Depends on the type of zombies, but I think Americans may have a better chance than many other countries because of our lower population density and high percentage of fertile land for growing crops. Americans in metro areas would be fucked just like everyone else in metro areas though.
Lots of guns but lacking in brains , they’d likely elect the first Zombie
Some would.
Others would have a better chance of being shot by their neighbors for what little supplies they had.
Under stress, most people revert to their base instincts – and most people are pretty shitty and selfish.
Depends on how the zombies are. Shambling corpses might be fine. World War z we are fucked.
I’m betting they’d spend more time killing each other over resource hoarding than killing zombies
Americans will fight over black Friday discount televisions. Imagine if clean water and food were scarce…
things will even out quickly once the ammunition is all gone..
I can’t think of a more American question than “Can we justify our gun fetish with this imaginary threat?”
It’s more likely America would fare better than a lot of places because of the high amounts of rural spaces. If you live in the boonies and zombies only walk you’ll likely not even encounter very many of them.
As for the guns, that would likely exacerbate the situation. In a zombie apocalypse people worry about the zombies but other survivors are much more dangerous than the zombies. Zombies are dumb, slow, and don’t use weapons. People are just dumb so ya gotta contend with them.
No. MAGAts would get bitten intentionally to “own the libs” or because “Zombiism cures autism” or some dumb shit and we’d all die.
Short term, probably. Mid to long term, some of the hordes would be a bit smaller, but actual survival skills are near zero.
How many Americans can patch worn out clothing? How about legitimate long term first aid? How many can setup to grow crops and know how much to grow for how many people?
Basically once the sweatpants and canned beans are looted out of walmart, Americans will die as fast as anywhere else, if not faster from infighting.
Americans were too stupid to handle Covid. What are you even talking about?
Depends.
Do we know for sure if guns work on zombies?
I don’t know where you are, but around here there’s zombies, zombies everywhere.
americans and amerikkkans don’t play well, likely they’d end up killing each other just as much as the zombies
Yes America would have a better survival chance but not because of the guns. It would be because of our wonderful and thoughtful business leaders. All America would have to do is bail out every major business owner and the zombies would go away. In fact the zombies are a democratic-Chinese hoax. It’s not real. Which is why we have to intentionally infect our children with the zombie virus so they can build up an immunity.
While Americans glorify gun ownership I suspect other countries have a much broader distribution of guns. In any country with required military participation just about every citizen not only owns a gun but has been properly trained in using it. I know this is true about Israel and Switzerland.
I’ve watched enough zombie media to learn that zombies aren’t the problem. It’s the people that are the most dangerous. America has way too many psychopaths to last more than a couple of weeks.
The food supply chain would be interrupted. It would be like the great toilet paper shortage only food for exactly the same reasons.
If everyone behaved in a reasonable and rational manner, a zombie outbreak would never be able to become an apocalypse situation in a country with as many guns as america.
So if we’re in a full-blown zombie apocalypse, it’s safe to assume that people chose not to act in a reasonable or rational manner, meaning it is very hard to make accurate predictions on how people will be acting in this hypothetical future.
We would handle it worse than any other country and then armed militias would snap at the chance for violence. Most of those guys just want an excuse to be violent.
Wouldn’t matter too much where you were in the world if the global government fell and trade ceased to exist. Most people wouldn’t die from zombies but rather starvation, dehydration, and disease
No. To be honest I wouldn’t be able to tell the zombies from the people on their cell phones.
No cause there would be a lot of humans with guns and human crazies would be scarier than zombies.
The best places would be Canada, the Nordics or Siberia.
No – because if there’s anything the zombie apocalypse movies/books have taught us, it’s the humans not the zombies will get ya
I think the thing that would help the US more would be its (relatively) low population density.
The only reason i can think of that would help you survive a zombie apocalypse in the US is how fat people are. Im not scared if they have to crawl because they can’t even walk alone..
A lot of people seem to be underestimating a trigger happy gun owning populace being given free reign to “shoot the weird looking groaning/growling people who keep biting or trying to bite everyone.”
People pull their guns on strangers for less. People literally get shot for less. Here in the south, I would simply stay inside for a week and let nature (my gun owning neighbors) take course.
Just quicker deaths…
People the cities would generally be fucked. Too dense of a population of potential zombies while also taking into consideration the ratio of guns/weapons to people in most cities. Then also taking into consideration that most city folks barely have a weeks worth of food and water at home. Just generally unprepared for societal collapse.
The people who live in rural areas will fare better initially. But will eventually be fighting healthy humans for food/supplies.
Personally, I would hunker down in my rural area and stay quiet. No running of the generator to power lights or heat/ac. No going around trying to steal from anyone’s resources. Just protect my property. Then once my supplies dwindle, I’ll load up the remainder and weapons then bug out and go WAY off grid in the mountains.
The other thing most people aren’t prepared for is comms going down. Do you have a small hand held short wave radio? How are you going to communicate if digital cell service collapsed? How are you going to know if the zombies are all gone yet or not?
What if the Zombies start blastin’?
I would think the nations who guarantee basic combat skills training hold a major advantage, though the type of zombie mythos matters. Swarms are hard to deal with hand to hand, no matter your skill, so range, and then firepower, matters more.
We all lived through covid.
Half these morons wouldn’t take advice on how not to die.
However… from a purely analytical viewpoint, America is probably a relatively safe area. The vast tracts of empty space in this country make it very viable to set up defensive areas with clear lines of sight and enough land for viable ranching and farming communities. A simple watchtower on flat land could easily observe for incoming threats five miles away. That would give ample time to prepare a planned response or evacuation. Hundreds of such sites could be set up across the US. Our climate is also subject to very severe heat and cold as the seasons pass- more than many other areas in the northern hemisphere. Whatever the media has shown, zombies are flesh. And flesh cannot endure direct exposure such elements over the long term.
I refer to World War Z (the book, which was great). As far as I’m concerned it is the authoritative source on zombies.
Spoilers if you haven’t read it.
The US Army initially tried to stand against a massive zombie hoard using conventional weapons of modern war (missiles, tanks, etc.) but they got smashed down hard because they were so used to the fighting humans where basically any hit means incapacitation and eventual death.
But since you can only kill zombies with a headshot, the regular anti-personnel weapons and almost everything with area effects were useless. The zombies who weren’t completely blown to smithereens by the first rounds of high explosives all survived and kept attacking the army.
There were other instances in the book of American “lone wolfs” trying to kill all the zombies but not shooting them in the head, with similarly poor results.
It was only by reorganizing the army into a group with one shot bolt actions (?) and making them only do headshots that they were able to kill the zombies hordes.
TL;DR
No, I don’t think the guns would help that much unless people were really genre savvy about a zombie apocalypse.
Zombies are likely to take your guns away from you and use them. Just. But FR I would panic fire like a clip a day.
What people think will stop zombies: guns and cars!
What actually would stop zombies: pits, rivers, chain link fences, and warm weather.
Gasoline degrades in 3-6 months. And you’d need to maintain guns with limited tools, and as soon as the zombies break out you are now in a competition with everyone else for ammo.
You would think so… but most of my people are dumb AF.
A firearm won’t save you from dysentery and starvation. In fact, without meaningful training a firearm won’t save you from much in the long run.
As depicted in 99% of zombie movies, humans running loose with guns would be a far bigger threat than brainless creatures with a max walking speed of two miles an hour.
Nah. A lot of the gun nuts are larpers. Zombies need head shots.
We already have a brainless horde destroying America.
They’d be extra fucked because the zombies would have guns
If you watch the older zombie movies, it’s usually the humans making stupid decisions and turning on each other that leads to their demise
We’d just shoot each other. Americans would have to worry about the Zombies AND their neighbors.
I think we’d have a harder time with it. Guns would make some things like hunting easier. But if everyone has guns then it doesn’t necessarily make defending/attacking other humans easier. It’s the survival and living in hardship that would be harder for us than other countries. Americans don’t know how to efficiently start a fire, purify and store water, hunt and forage for food, and basic first aid….
The zombies would have easier access to guns too. And there’d be lots of zombies, because of all that easy access to guns in the first place.
Nope. Your best chance is just to get eaten first, so you won’t have much time to suffer.
Bro did you see covid pandemic and US response?
No. You could tell everyone to get the Z-virus vaccine, don’t let zombies bite them, and headshot the dead. About half of America will do the exact opposite of that
They didn’t believe in Covid. Why would they believe in a Zombie Apocalypse?
Also, once they grudgingly accept the zombie reality, they’d start shooting at everyone else even if they aren’t zombies.
They might even put them in concentration camps or deport them.
Maybe to the zombis, but in tight survival situations raiders would probably be more of a danger, they will trap you intelligently unlike zombis
If my time playing Project Zomboid has taught me anything, it’s that guns are more likely to get you killed, assuming zombies can track prey by sound. Sure Americans have guns, but do we have enough ammo to kill enough zombies to make the world safe enough to rebuild in? Would most of them have training to shoot accurately and precisely?
Depending on population density, killing one zombie with a gun could bring hundreds of more to your location, will there be enough ammunition then? And this is all ignoring America’s individualistic culture and the possibility that a bunch of the people who do hoard those guns will die of sepsis or food poisoning or a preventable disease due to lack of community infrastructure.
Ultimately you can’t really determine long-term survival scenarios without establishing the nature of the zombie apocalypse (magical, viral, demonic etc.), whether a cure or at least inoculation is possible and then ultimately the zombies’ physiology. Will zombies continue to decompose and eventually wither away until they’re no longer a direct threat?
I think far more important factors for a certain country’s survival would be population density, community structure, climate, and geographical features. Guns might help initially, but getting enough of them in the right hands with proper training just to kill potentially hundreds of millions of zombies doesn’t sound viable. After a certain point, having more guns won’t help if you don’t have the ammunition or warm bodies to hold them.
It’s not the part you see in most zombie movies, but if we’re talking a long-term zombie apocalypse and not a shorter “event”, figuring out how to outlast the zombies and rebuild the infrastructure for sulf-sustaining agrarian communities is what matters most. Unfortunately, America is full of people who think they’d be Mad Max in an apocalypse, so even if Americans had enough guns to kill every single zombie, would they be able to survive the aftermath?
Personally, I’d put my money on a country with socialised medicine, like Greenland.
No because trump will say it’s not true and to put flashlights up our butts again 🔦
No because they’d reject the most basic safety and any science based solutions, probably causing far more deaths.
The American anarchy and indulgence of personal biases and grievances fueled by guns would negate any benefit of it being easier for a few of us to shoot zombies.
Picture The Walking Dead combined with The Forever Purge.
No because the idiots would be shooting each other to get theirs rather than working together to figure shit out. Ya know, cause of the lack of education
Maybe. But maybe you would just shoot each other fighting for ressources….
Depends on the type of zombie?
It is all well and good having access to guns, but depending on the situation, do they have access to enough bullets. Depending entirely on how the apocalypse happens places like the cities would be so vastly overrun no one would have enough bullets to hold back the horde.
There is also a distinct lack of easily defensible, places designed to house a great deal of people with access to food and water, whereas many places in Europe have castles all over the place, sure most are not ready to go right away but could quickly be brought up to speed. The only equivalent in the US would be things like the military bases, but those are not everywhere.
The pandemic suggests that an awful lot of them would deny there was a problem and claim zombism was nothing to fear.
I live in America. I only know one person that owns a gun lmao
According to Max Brooks’s The Zombie Survival Guide, which is the only book I consider canon in current timeline’s lore,, Europe’s urban design (and castles everywhere) would make a zombie apocalypse much easier than an outbreak in the US
If Zombie Media lies to All of you is that guns and cars are not as good as good as you might think. Gas WILL go bad eventually (iirc about 5-7 years after refining stops Gas will just be consumed or go bad if not. And guns need ammo to function. You also need to maintain and clean them.
Guns don’t just kill zombies, my dude.
I mean, people in Alaska would do ok.
I think Arctic temperatures are the best biomes to survive this type of thing. No living or unliving creatures can escape the laws of thermodynamics.
Hard to eat brains when you’re frozen to the core.
No, but the massive amount of open space across diverse climates would be a huge factor.
Like Canada and Russia, most of the US is empty of people and full of conditions that accelerate decomposition as well as animals who absolutely would eat well or body a horde. Lotta fat bears and moose with limbs stuck to their antlers, lotta groaning skeletons in the deserts snd mountains, lotta corpses stuck in the muck in rivers and swamps. Corpses in Atlanta aren’t likely to make it all the way to DC.
The phrase “100 years is a long time in America but 100 miles is a long distance everywhere else” applies.
I think folks forget what zombies are… they’re rotting flesh… our wildlife and weather patterns would end any zombie apocalypse pretty quick. Wild cats, flesh eating bugs, freezing winters, brutal summers, hurricanes, floods, tornadoes… even bodies we’ve already buried get messed up by the elements all the time.
They would be safe like canadians, no brains. Proof- the last elections
Initially, maybe. Probably not though. If we’re following standard zombie universe rules, head shots are a lot harder to pull off than TV makes it look.
I would prefer a machete or sword of some type in most (imagined) scenarios.
No. And depending on the type of zomnie, a gun would only serve to attract hoards.
Everybody’s talking about these wannabe Jhon wicks with their guns and shit so I’ll give a different angle. My plan as a gun owner is to take my guns and leave society immediately. I’d prefer to end up in the Rocky Mountains or maybe a large state forest where it’ll be hard to find me. The benefits of a low population area like that is probably less zombies and also it’s fucking hard to find stuff in a forest especially when the leaves are up. I’m a hunter and a good shot, I’ll procure food and protect myself with my guns but I certainly won’t be going on the attack. I feel like I’ve got a higher survival chance with that plan than somebody that’s gonna grab their guns and go try and train the zombies in the streets or something stupid like that.
A machette would be very effective against zombies. Clubs too.
The real trick is long term survival. I think many countries in the world live closer to basics, and could return to subsistance farming much more successfully than the average American. Because that’s what would have to happen after such an apacolypse.
If a Zombie apocalypse happened the number of people who refused to believe it was a zombie apocalypse and that it was all just fake news would doom America…
I know we love the America hate on here but I think we’d actually do pretty well. Out in the country people get really spread out, so transmission wouldn’t be as much of an issue.
You could also tap into our turbo Nationalism and turn it into the ‘mericans against the Z’s. We in fight a lot but we’re great at kicking the shit out of a common enemy.
Overall America solos to the sound of a screeching bald eagle, 10/10
If the pandemic has shown America anything it’s shown that it’s fucked in anything that’s viral. They don’t have the maturity level to withstand doing what educated people tell them to do.
I’m collecting enough guns and ammo for that very reason
The current American government is too stupid to handle a zombie apocalypse.
Also Americans talk a big game, but when it comes to actually use guns for their intended purpose (I.e stop a tyrannical government), they don’t.
No, we’d fight each other
As well as lots of people – who either zombies already or have access to guns too. Would you trust them? Most of the US is landlocked anyway. Fish in a barrel
Seeing how Covid was managed, no
Better chance of surviving the zombies, maybe.
But easier access to guns also means other survivors have easier access to guns. And many of them won’t be friendly.
Like how in The Walking Dead, after a while the zombies are largely an annoyance and it’s the other survivors who are the real problem.
We would all die, no one would believe it. Fake news and all that.
No, Americans are horrible at identifying the right actions to take in an emergency
Let’s look at what a zombie is and the different myths.
Some zombies are animated dead people that need a shot to the head. This is highly unlikely as it means they still hold controlling brain function.
There’s where the brain is zombiefied and only survival instincts are primarily left and higher thoughts are destroyed.
So what type zombie are you thinking of? The latter is the more likely. Similar to what’s in “He is Legend”. That’s the most likely probability really.
Now in any countries with a military guns will become available quickly. So the countries with easy gun availability will slow or stop them much faster and a bit easier. But once there’s no one guarding the military weapons they will also be available and therefore used.
So to answer your question correctly. In the early stages itll be a bit easier. In the long run it won’t matter as anyone immune will within months if still alive possess military grade weapons.
Zombies have guns too, you know.
Nordics or canada would fare preety well due to winter. The zombies would just freeze.
Nah we’re already too tired barely surviving without zombies. Guns would only help for an easier exit
Americans as a group? No. Americans as individuals? Absolutely.
Your scenario assumes the apocalypse has already happened, so comments about America’s response to Covid are irrelevant because your scenario takes place after the worst outcome already occured.
Comments about how it would just allow people to kill each other easier are irrelevant because in a situation like this, if someone wants you dead they’re going to kill you, gun or not. It’s not like Europeans would be getting along or not hurting each other because they don’t have guns.
So to answer your question, the people who would survive this the best are Americans because of guns. Although not every American who has a gun would do well, like comments said about bad gun safety.
We’d fall faster despite the guns.
A third of our country would go looking to get bit. And then no amount of weaponry would prevent the rest from getting overwhelmed.
I mean, does the person with the gun know how to hunt, clean an animal, start a fire, and cook what they shot? Guns aren’t much use in the apocalypse if you’re shooting other people unless you plan to be a cannibal. My household has more firearms than average but my husband is an avid hunter. We also have propane for cooking, but that doesn’t last long. And, we have a small stream behind our house for water.
No, they couldn’t handle it. Americans are wimps who are incapable of finding a better use for guns than killing schoolchildren.
First two episodes = scary zombies. Rest of the series = scary people.
I’m not sure lots of guns in the population would be a good thing. And don’t we all know that guns aren’t the best defence against zombies?!
Have you seen Americans? They would be too slow to run away. Guns or not they would turn on eachother before trusting eachother.
Americans have a better chance due to low population density and being net food exporters.
We would definitely have a better chance of surviving, but I think population density has a bigger hand than an armed population. Europe and SEA are packed to the brim
The current administration would deny that there’s an apocalypse until it was too late to do anything about it.
And some would blame it on vaccines.
We had a pandemic demonstrate to us why half would willingly get infected just to prove a point and then hide the bite just to avoid admitting they were wrong. We’d be the most vulnerable national demographic to a zombie outbreak.
Americans can’t even grasp basic medical/science/political consents. They would be the first to go.
Duh
Not if zombies can shoot too.
As a bit of a joke a friend of mine did a ‘serious’ look at a zombie apocalypse back in college. The two big questions were how the disease is transmitted and incubation time. If it’s airborne and slow like Covid then the US is probably fucked but if it’s transferred via biting or a quick process after being exposed to the air then the great plains would be a solid natural barrier to slow/prevent the disease from spreading.
This might shock you but there are large numbers of people who own firearms but don’t practice using them. That means that if all of a sudden the dead walk the earth, you’re going to have people whose guns don’t fire, who can’t hit a head shot, who panic, who can’t run 100m without doubling over…
I think covid and other recent idiocracies have highlighted that in a global catastrophe, the Americans should not be relied upon for an immediate response.
In the same way people ask “what happened to all the gun toating 2nd amendment patriots that cried about government tyranny and a need to protect themselves?” I feel I should point out “just who do you think are wearing those “ICE” jackets?
When the zombie apocalypse occurs, you can rely on a few million of those brainless fuckers to be armed like an unregulated zombie militia.
probably not
Americans have terrible disaster response, especially in areas of lower income, which is where disasters are more likely to happen
They also don’t seem as good as collaborating on a societal level, which will be important for rebuilding civilization
You’d probably see a lot of isolated bands competing with each other instead of a coordinated effort to rebuild the state
What if the zombies had guns ?
I think access to guns would make people less likely to band together to defeat the common zombie enemy. You’d be just as likely to be killed by another survivor as you would a zombie. This will still be an issue in other places but it’s much less tempting to kill someone for their resources when you have to do it up close and personal with your hands or a melee weapon.
It’s already zombie apocalypse here .
Maybe.
I’m definitely joining a raising gang and starting with all the cars and trucks with gun manufacturer stickers on them. Oh yeah, they’ve got guns in them.
Depends on whether the zombies are attracted by noise (and how many of them there are). Just my 2c.
not necessarily
Guns are cool sure, but not everyone knows how to use them properly. Plus, ammo runs out. Plus, shooting guns gives away your position.
Sure they’d be useful in some situations, but risking going deaf and exposing your position to other zombies or groups of malicious survivors isn’t a good thing.
If your house was surrounded and you needed to escape to a different location, sure, grab a shotgun and start blasting zombies down. But if you’re planning on staying in one location, a different strategy would be beneficial.
Guns would be more helpful in terms of self-defense against malicious groups of survivors rather than zombies.
Long-term, melee weapons have the advantage.
But of course then comes to mind the question of what kind of zombies they are
Night of the Living Dead or Shaun of the Dead zombies would be chill. You wouldn’t even really need guns for anything. World War Z or 28 Days Later zombies? If ya don’t have guns you’re dead, even if you do have guns its only a slight advantage
source: am gun owner
Understanding how a Greek Phalanx fights, or even a Viking shield wall would be sufficient.
Heck the best solution would probably be to copy Alexander the Great’s army who used very long spears to poke the enemy before they got to poke you.
Zombies aren’t exactly very good at pitched battles. They rely on you panicking.
No. They’d be worse off because public officials telling them how to ignore Zombification would be ignored.
I live in the best spot. Large island with a small population. Lots of sea food and large land based prey. Adequate growing season and lots of timber for shelter and heat. Also it’s in Canada so they would freeze solid in the winter and remember that timber. Great for baseball bats to smash frozen zombies lol.
I certainly hope not
America would implode and wipe themselves out first tbh. It would make the purge look child friendly.
No. Did you see how we handled Covid. A good chunk of the country would be posting, “there are no zombies.” (The incorrect use of “there” was intentional)
Individualism will be Americans downfall
