Undead Zombies? No. I’m no virologist, but I’ve read about a Rabies variety, or certain fungal infections. Fiction-wise, World War Z, or 28 Days type “zombies”, where the body is very much functioning, but the brain has been hijacked…
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.
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

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.
Yeah I can see what you mean. Reminiscent of 28 Weeks Later.

Or they’re eaten by birds and dogs
