That assumes the zombies CAN starve or that they couldn't get past the quarantine

All I know is that actual epidemiologists have modeled Romero zombies and determined they wouldn't be a very big threat outside of wherever the outbreak started

not sure you mean Romero zombies, they're the case where ANYONE who dies, regardless of situation, comes back as the walking dead, there wouldn't be a "patient zero" in that patient zero would be global

Er, ok. The "if you get bit you become one after a short incubation period then eat brains" type

The brain eaters are Russo zombies (from the trashy Return of the Living Dead knockoff series), created by a chemical rather than contagion

iZombie zombies are ironically pretty close to Russo zombies (and I guess turn into Romero zombies in their "failed state" of not getting brains for too long)

Romero zombies killed you if they bit you but you still turned if you died any other way The creator of The Walking Dead, who follows Romero rules closely, said he always headcanoned that zombie bites were nothing special and they kill you through "normal" sepsis and germs

That's not really how it looks in actual practice, with zombie bites being really quickly and inevitably fatal, but whatever It was Max Brooks' Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z that codified the "infection only" zombie

I feel like 28 Days Later did a number on creating it too, and of course the Dawn of the Dead remake was the nail in that coffin

28 Days Later is what Max Brooks calls the "fast zombie" or "crazie" genre, where they clearly are just humans with some kind of rabies The WWZ zombies kind of split the difference - they're Romero zombies but with a quasi-scientific explanation though a virus, but still undead

sure but to the world at large 28 Days Later & Dawn of the Dead '04 monsters just ARE zombies in terms of popularizing "infected" as their explanation/terminology
