      Also real life is making me think about how The Last of Us, while novel for using the fungus explanation, is implausible even among zombie stories as an actual apocalypse event, unless I'm missing something

      I mean, in the opening we learn the infection was believed to start in the American South but quickly traveled the country, within about a week's time, while authorities were aware of it (Sarah can pick up a newspaper mentioning government response in the tutorial)

      It clearly spreads worldwide, because if it didn't, other countries' militaries would have come in. But that doesn't make sense given what we know about how you get infected.

      The game says it can spread by bites, direct fluid contact in general, or spores. Any infected person turns within 12 hours, according to the story, unless they're asymptomatic.

      It's unclear in the game if asymptomatic people can spread the infection, but if they can, it clearly can only happen by bites or other fluid transmission, since Ellie doesn't produce spores.

      And spore production comes from deeply infected long term victims. So the game seems to want us to believe that people infected by bite flew to every continent 12 hours or less after their exposure, and were not contained

      And yet the government is shown proactively executing anyone who could even potentially be infected, from the start, even in the US. Honestly I don't see how it gets out of Texas, much less the US.

      The newspaper at the start seems to suggest maybe food can transmit it but no one ever brings that up again

      I think this is the key to explaining it, the food got shipped around the world, and the fungus was probably dormant for a while, meaning so many people got unknowingly infected that when they started showing symptoms it was impossible to contain.

      Yeah a zombie apocalypse only really makes sense with a massive initial burst of zombies, like how the Night of the Living Dead franchise says the rules of death itself have changed so everyone who dies normally on that day suddenly becomes a zombie

      If it starts with a small group in a contained location then yeah no way it just takes over the world like that, not if being a zombie is obvious and the means of infection is as obvious as biting

          The fact that they never mention the tainted crops again also makes sense, since obviously the first thing the survivors would do would be to stop eating it Maybe not even by choice, if civilization collapse just collapsed the agricultural supply chain

          Actually now that I think about it the idea of everyone suddenly going crazy because of fungus growing in the grain is totally a reference to ergotism They just mashed up two different fungi Claviceps, not cordycepshttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergotism
