I'd be pretty happy to join a zombie thread, actually. I made one back in...2013 I think? I don't know, but it got stymied when everybody disappeared. That's a classic.
I could understand why they wouldn't want to announce some kind of extinction level event until right before it happened. There would be absolutely no order of any kind if they did announce it. I mean, even small incidents like a little earthquake or a bad thunderstorm send people to chattering like monkeys and climbing the rafters. I have a relatively pragmatic belief on death and apocalyptic stuff. If I can't do shit about it, I don't care. Kind of reminds me of Aenema by Tool. Talking about how the San Andreas fault will plunge California into the Pacific Ocean one day, and the only suggestion is learn to swim. That's pretty much my take on it.
In the case of a zombie scenario though, provided it wasn't supernatural and was some kind of virus, it would be relatively easy to survive. They'll eventually all decompose to nothing, so if you can make your way to an environment that causes more decomposition or an environment that is difficult/harsh to navigate, you'd likely be fine to just wait it out. Clean water and shelter would be the most important things. People can go without food for a month or so rather easily. If you rationed your supplies well, you'd be fine. But that's why I can't watch zombie shows anymore. The premise is unrealistic as shit because after about a month, they'd all be so decomposed that they'd no longer constitute a threat, especially in very humid climates. Insects and animals would have a part in it as well. Stockpile some food and maintain a supply of clean water and wait it out, and you'd be golden.
During tornado or flood season, people around me panic and go apeshit. It's like, well, if there's a tornado coming, I ain't got a basement, so what am I going to do? Walk outside to yell at it? Tell it to stop?
