28 is probably my favorite zombie series, and those zombies are heavily magic.
moving super fast and uncoordinated means rapid dehydration coupled with injuries, blood loss and tissue loss and damage.
their bodies can’t endure that kind of activity for more than a couple hours, and they’ll rapidly render themselves immobile, deteriorate and decompose. there aren’t going to be any zombies milling around inside houses or crawling around in fields 28 weeks later.
asymptomatic carriers are normally accounted for with any new pathogen, and with the rapid deterioration, incapacitation and death of any symptomatic infected, there aren’t going to be major societal collapses.
asymptomatic carriers are going to be an important vector of disease to account for as soon as the disease is recognized, and they’ll have to be separated from the rest of society as a vaccine is developed, but given the rapid onset, obvious symptoms, rapid deterioration of the symptomatic carriers and physical transmissibility, a short quarantine period indicates there aren’t going to be many asymptomatic carriers.
rabies is a good example, because it’s basically 28 days later zombies in real life.
extremely contagious, no cure, carriers become very violent but uncoordinated, they are fast for a very brief period of time but fundamentally incapacitated after a few hours because of dehydration and tissue damage, and then die.
conditions like transmissibility and natural human resistance make the 28 scenario unrealistic but for the most part, the rapid deterioration of the symptomatic carriers is the silver bullet here.
they are still great movies and I’m very excited to see 28 years later next month.
