i know there are some stories, movies, and games out there that already use the virus = zombie apocalypse trope. but goodness gracious, in the context of the world we live in, there is a mystical appeal to this genre right now.
I had a theory back when we saw the notes a few chapters back. About the Senses.
If a new Zombie eats flesh, it stays a zombie. If it engages anyone of its other senses more thoroughly, there's a chance for the mind to recover. Sure, MC taking steriods definitely helped-I just think preventing a zombie from eating/tasting human flesh helps as well.
I wonder where the lady got her information. We do know what causes the Black Death and how it was spread. Humans do have a defender system versus viruses it’s just that some viruses are extremely potent and break us down faster than we can defeat them but those are not that common and given a vaccination we can beat them. A bit iffy on the science but fun so far.
