    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.

        Because wht we learned in the last couple of years is humanity as a whole is totally capable of isolating for a few months without issues

          Feel like watching your neighbor eat the face off of your other neighbor is a little bit more motivation to stay inside than a microscopic virus. Then again, it isn’t the most wise thing to bet against human stupidity
