It still seems a bit far-fetched to me. Humans wouldn’t stand idly by while zombies caused their children to starve or be without medicines. To the contrary, humans would declare open season on zombies and they’d dust off the zombies in short order. There are millions of privately held weapons in the country. I have a little more faith in the strong right arm of your average American than most, perhaps. But given our history I doubt that it’s misplaced.
Depends on where in the country you live for one thing, but the over riding thing will be a thing called ‘Normalcy Bias’.
