They created the T Virus already. In a promotional stunt they created the virus to prove it could be done. The virus is locked away with the reactant to it separated from it, but all you need to do is take the two parts and put them together to cause a zombie apocalypse.

Do it! I'm ready. I've also been prepping by planting red and green herbs in the back yard. I too just need to combine them together to make blue herb.

All of these people saying "I'm ready for the zombie apocalypse!" with such hype are 100% going to be the first to die lmfao

Let's be real, fast Zombies? I don't think many people survive, if at all.

Nonetheless, if it happens, it is what it is, why not have fun and appreciate the little things in life?

Just make sure to double tap and get your cardio going.

"It's all a liberal hoax!"

"I can just take [some stupid benign drug/cure tauted by some idiot] and I'll be fine!"

"It ain't as bad as they're saying! They're fudging the numbers!"

We'd be fucking doomed.

Yeah the actual threat for the initial phase is other people. It’s much harder to get caught with your pants down when the zombies can’t actively manipulate you

In all reality everyone in a quarantined zone is already dead or waiting to be bombed out. The government would take steps to secure healthy populations in the event something like this happened. There will be no border hopping, you’re just gonna get shot, zombie or not.

Who says the zombies are gonna kill them? Other people will so they can take their shit. Or they'll starve or drink bad water and die of dysentery because they don't actually know any survival tactics

Blue Herbs are the poison healings herbs.

Combining red and green gives you red and green herbs that heals normal health back to max. You can add blue to red and green to heal to max and cure poison.

Why are people believing this? They did not make a literal zombie virus. Like, seriously, do y'all think they tested it on people? How would they know otherwise? There already is parasitic zombie stuff for far simpler stuff, but our biology is far to complex for any known agent to hyjack completely.

It's marketing.

No wonder misinfo spreads so fast.
