The Walking Dead: 10 Giant Plot-Holes You Probably Missed
3. A Zombie Outbreak Wouldn't Spread So Readily
Everyone in The Walking Dead universe is already infected by the zombie virus and the initial zombie outbreak was shown to be so quick and deadly that even the military couldn't contain it in time. Thing is, health organisations and the military are prepared for disease outbreak scenarios like this to occur all the time. The World Health Organisation and the Center of Disease Control in America are pretty damned good at what they do. During the SARS outbreak in 2003, the disease originated in China and had actually spread to North America. Almost immediately, flights were grounded, travel borders were tightened, and only 43 people died in America. And that's dealing with a disease that spreads invisibly from person to person, making it much more difficult to track. As for the zombie virus? Well, since everyone already has the zombie virus and those already turned are pretty easy to spot out, containing and quarantining the zombies is already going to be much easier than containing those who have hard-to-diagnose viruses like AIDS. So really, there is no reason as to why the military and the WHO were so utterly incompetent at containing a virus that only takes hold when you're, well, dead.
My life story is nothing special. I haven't cured ebola, I'm nowhere near stopping terrorism, and I'm still working on that climate change problem.
Instead, all I've done so far is put a few hundred words together in an attempt to make people laugh.
