If it wasn’t for the stupid Darrel Dixon show, my head canon of the walking dead only affecting America would still stand.

They literally just walk, and it would be pretty obvious that everyone is infected after the first year or so of people dying from the flu and shit. Any country with competent leadership could have squashed the zombies in a couple months.

I’ve always thought that if I’m in a zombie apocalypse im just gonna carry super soakers filled with hydrogen peroxide

After experiencing the covid-19 outbreak I am now fully convinced that a zombie apocalypse is feasible, there would be people denying the existence of the zombie virus, just going to the infected an getting bitten because they wanted a pizza or something, that and people just drenching themselves in bleach or something because they heard that keep the zombies away from some dude online. Stuff like that.

Stuck having to go to work in a zombie apocalypse because you're an "essential worker".

Isn't that the case in the 28 X later series? Like England fell to a zombie apocalypse but the rest of the world is doing fine?

Wellllll the implications of the ending of 28 weeks later is that the rest of the world had a reprieve but are fucked eventually...
