It’s been awhile since I’ve read the book but weren’t the zombies in that walkers and not runners?
I just don’t see how walkers would be a threat in the real world, runners might be able to spread more easily but I think even then they would be quickly contained .
If I remember the book they said Nebraska was a zombie land due to cities evacuating and I80 being congested.
Living in Nebraska we have tons of heavy machinery and farming implements. Can easily hook up a disk to a tractor and plow them into the ground
I just don’t see how walkers would be a threat in the real world,
Numbers. Couple that with the conspiracy theory nuts that would deny they exist and actively assist the spread. Battle of Yonkers was a pretty good example of how a military response could fail. Most people have no concept of how difficult a head shot is nor the energy required and also difficulty in melee attacking a human head.
Ya I get that but as someone who has seen heavy machinery accidents the machine wins always and it’s not even close. Even a 68 ton Abrams tank would do more damage to masses by just plowing over them than weaponry. Sure you’ll get some ankle biter bobs in the weeds but the majority you just rendered immobile .
Now throw some 50ft wide discs and you just have a bunch of grinding saws
