I would have agreed with some of these before the pandemic.
I agree with none of them after.
While we have some solid guesses of where the coronavirus came from, we still do not have a consensus on its origin over three years later. If we were in a situation where communication was interrupted, this would be even more complicated. Not knowing where or how a zombie outbreak originated is perfectly in line with real life.
There's nothing wrong with liking different kinds of zombies. Fast. Slow. Doesn't matter.
People. Fought. Over. Toilet. Paper. People literally punched service workers, spat on people, called people slurs, threatened nurses and doctors, raged at flight attendants, and there's even information out there that car accidents or some kind of rage came out of isolation/quarantine. Toilet paper was not a true necessity like say, water, or medication. Dodging actual zombies and trying to get necessities from other humans? So much violence. It's my opinion that zombie media actual underestimates how much violence there would be in some cases.
Again, people did absolutely ridiculous things during the pandemic. Doctors: don't gather with your elderly relatives. People: gathering with their elderly relatives. Doctors: don't gather in large, crowded bars. People:...
There are people who still think the pandemic was fake or the flu so I absolutely believe lots of people will walk off on their own because the zombie apocalypse is fake. Totally believable. As is the gotten bitten and told no one thing now. So many people suspected they were sick and still went places.
Zombie media is about us though. It's not about the zombies. And I have to say, I think it gets us right. Unfortunately.
