    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.
