I personally can’t imagine anyone surviving long-term around running zombies. Even if fighting them was relatively easy, it’s statistically inevitable that sooner or later you’d get bitten. This applies to walking zombies too, but at least with them, you have the option to avoid physical altercations altogether, at least for the most part. That’s what I think most TV shows get wrong about zombies: even if there’s just one, and you could easily take it down, just don’t. It’s almost never worth the risk. In my view, the best way to survive is to avoid them as much as possible. Fighting is the last resort and should only be done in self-defence.

    In the sidebar:

    Unless stated otherwise, by zombie we’re refering to The Walking Dead -kind of undead creature.

      Yup, sorry! I definitely should’ve checked the sidebar. That one’s obviously on me.
