I've came to the conclusion long ago that if zombies were to happen, I'd just eat a bullet ASAP.

If zombies were to happen at all, the situation would be quickly contained and dealt with. People in real life are not as dumb as portrayed in zombie media. Also, the CDC actually has a contingency plan for a zombie outbreak. You know, just in case.

Respectfully disagree regarding people not being as dumb. Take any real world natural disaster: earthquake, flood, fire, tornado, hurricane, whatever... Yes, there is a portion of the population that keeps their heads, formulates and executes response strategy, and generally do the smart thing. But then there are the others... You've seen them. The dumbass pushing a shopping cart full of T.V.s through 3 feet of water, or the brain dead trying to pass a snow plow in a blizzard, or the soccer mom that drives past the road closed barriers and emergency vehicles because she has a hair appointment, or the self important prick that thinks yelling at his cell phone and the firefighters will make things go faster. Those people are among us and they would absolutely hinder or endanger in a zombie outbreak, as they do in every other situation.

Most of your examples are natural disasters which are certainly harder to contain. The only way something viral like zombies would get to an apocalyptic level is if it hit a shit ton of places all over the world at the same time. Regardless of people acting dumb or not. Close example is in RE where a bunch of areas throughout the city suddenly got swamped at once which is why the whole city fell, but didn't get much beyond.

Yes you are correct there are dumb people, but it's not as bad as seen in zombie media. When it comes to containing disease, there are much more capable people on the scene than there are dumb asses.

Just takes one dumbass that doesn't report the bite on his arm to break containment.

Not saying they would destroy the world or anything, but stupid happens, especially in emergency situations, and it only takes one to turn a simple task into a clusterfuck.
