I think it’s more like she’s trying to find out what’s really going on.

That seems more likely. Everyone is supposed to be gone in the surrounding area, but she saw the signaling house which proves they aren't getting the straight story from the military.

Okay. thanks. You’re in California so you know those things. LOL

Thanks.

Speculation elsewhere that Travis saw shots fired at that instead of a signal when he was on the roof at the end.

[papertyger]

Not “speculation.” That was automatic weapons fire ;)

[Califreak]

I blinked and missed it!

Thanks.

What's the "buzz" about Travis being the ad-hoc "mayor?"

[Califreak]

I didn’t hear about that.

I have him pegged as some sort of useful idiot.

Madison seems to be the brains in that outfit.

Never thought I’d say that.

I cracked up when she put the beatdown on Nick.

“The Army CO announced they were “infection free” for a six mile perimeter during his speech.”

A perimeter of 6 miles is less than a 2 mile diameter if the area is circular. IIRC there weren’t a large number of areas.

When she was outside the fence and saw the dead guy in the street, was anyone else here yelling at the tv, “Pick up the gun! Take the gun!” ?

Really slow learners, those folks...

[Thorliveshere]

Hahaha, he didn’t do it tonight. I knew the second he refused the methodone, he was getting it from somewhere else. I also loved that his mother smacked the heck out of him for it.

LOL. First thing I thought of to.....

If she got caught with a firearm outside the safe-zone, she'd likely be shot dead on the spot, as it appears the pistol's previous owner was.

This is something gun-owners (and I am one) should consider if the SHTF; when to take your weapon with you and when to stash it away.

Right now the military is shooting first, asking questions later. Might not be the best time to be running around with a handgun.

More like a useLESS idiot

[Shimmer1]

We were here. These people are too dumb to live.

The zombie apocalypse is surprisingly free of zombies.

Zombies cost money. This kind of reminds me of Sci-Fi TV shows where the aliens look like humans - (the remake of Battlestar Galactica) - it helps cut down the cost.

With that said, I can't imagine the govt saved all of Los Angeles behind 12 camps. That means they left millions of people outside the safe camp zones. So if there are zombies they are all heading to where the humans are easy to eat then when humans run out in the inner city they will head out.

Also, everyone still operates under the assumption that only the infected become zombies. When people die of ordinary everyday reasons this will confuse and cause panic in the camps.

With that said, maybe the govt higher ups already know everyone is infected and are moving out the sick so as to prevent them croaking and turning into zombies so that is why they rounded up heroin addict Nick as well as the other sick people and the mentally unbalanced. But they are not telling anyone below their ranks that all are infected.

Just a guess - I find the situation more interesting than what happens to any of the individuals the story is following.

[Trumpinator]

I still don't buy her motivations for leaving the safe area - just because of some mirror flashes. We were seeing human refugees moving into the 'camp'. So there is no reason some human would hide out from the soldiers and not seek safe haven at a nearby camp.

It could be that many humans are keeping their loved ones turned zombies tied up in a room because they don't want them killed (they think they are still just sick). The other reason maybe the govt is not trying to save everyone - no room left or resources. And maybe they don't want to be in a camp. In those cases they are avoiding the govt - so in this case why signal?
