I kinda want to know how Max Brooks would have concluded World War Z now, after COVID, since it was based on theoretical data about how quickly the world would stop a pandemic, so the zombie shit only lasted a few weeks in the book.

I'm gonna eat a lot of brains until the protagonist blows my head off with an unrealistic shotgun.
Go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for this all to blow over.
Probably just shoot myself.
Series of tree houses, live like ewoks, no spider zombies
Shelter in place for a while until decomposition of their muscles makes them completely ineffectual and unable to actually move.
Shouldn't take long.
Slow zombies? I'd do my very best to get back home. I moved for work so I'd do a cross country road trip to get back home. I think slow zombies would be easy to avoid if you plan and be very careful. Fast zombies on the other hand is a different story. Left 4 dead zombies? Probably die and become a boomer or a spitter.
As an American I have two apocalypse plans. If it's zombies, guns are cheap and easy to get. Not for killing the zombies, mind you. I only need one bullet. Otherwise, my plans include a camping chair, a bottle of Southern Comfort, and someplace with a good view. I mean it's not like I'm going to survive, so I might as well plop myself down at ground zero and get drunk.
Go live in the woods and homestead with my family.
