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

Yeah - it's not an epidemic with a virus or viral style of spread. In a sense, it's something that happens to the *dead*, but not the *living*.

Does it affect anyone who's dead, or only people who died after being exposed to what may be some infectious agent?

Replying to @Random832 @mssilverstein and
only people who died after whatever caused it, the ancient dead don't come back to life, versus the Return of the living dead zombies where the zombifiying gas can resurect any dead tissue, even like bisected dogs

Replying to @saintwalker98 @mssilverstein and
ok but even that raises the same question - does the "zombifying gas" require direct exposure to the source, or is it carried by zombies? is it carried by living people who have been exposed? Can it wear off if you don't die a certain amount of time after being exposed?

Replying to @Random832 @mssilverstein and
we don't see it long enough to tell on wearing off over time, HOWEVER if you creamate a Return of the Living Dead zombie the gas goes up into the water cycle and rains back down to infect others, also if bite->zombie rules still apply, also anyone living who's exposed goes zombie

Return of the Living Dead is schlock because it's a completely foregone conclusion that the zombies win, they're absurdly OP It's not really scary horror because you just immediately give up on the idea the humans might survive and it's just a torture fest
