I'd probably survive thanks to dumb luck. Then, as I'm getting out of the rescue helicopter, I fall, break my back, and die. Because my luck is very bipolar.
how about we'd stop wishing for a zombie apocalypse because let's be honest, very little people would actually survive it and even they would have it real bad in the land of no doctors, no dentists and no fucking toilet paper. so let's just go home and appreciate this zombie-less world we all live comfortably in.
Tbh it depends very much on how "realistic" we're going with the zombies, how the virus is transmitted, whether animals can be infected, where ground zero is located, what time of the year it starts, etc. Not saying I want an apocalypse but depending on those factors it would either be a nightmare or so far beyond boring we probably wouldn't even fully realize it had happened
An aerial rabies virus with the right gestation period/transmission period/LD50 could be absolutely horrific... and pretty fucking close to a zombie apocalypse.
Indeed. A rage inducing virus is more likely to be problematic than an actual "decaying meat-sack is trying to come at me" type of apocalypse. I mean, both have the potential to be horrifying, but the logistics alone behind a virus or parasite transmitted by bite wound delivered by a fairly sluggish corpse is pretty faulted. Especially if the virus can't transmit to animals. The scavengers and maggots alone would do a pretty good job of taking them out. Not to mention anywhere with extreme heat or cold.

Outside of a rabies virus I guess maybe the cordyceps from the last of us or some other aerial parasitic infection has the most potential to cause an actual "apocalyptic" event.

You guys ever read Crossed? In that comic, billions were dead in just a week.
Neither of those are safe in GoT either (especially not the books-- at least one girl is indicated to have been repeatedly raped by dogs in them), but I don't doubt you when you say Crossed is worse. What sort of virus is it?

A supernatural one. One day, a patient zero popped up on every continent. Basically it just unlocks your innermost demons: rape, murder, bestiality, incest, cannibalism, anything. And you'll do it to anyone and anything you can find. 2 years after the first infection, only about 5 million people remained on the entire planet. Of course the Crossed have literally no self preservation so millions died during the first winter.
Well 100 years later, all but a couple thousand crossed have died out. Then again, humanity has lost the knowledge to create nuclear power, internal combustion engines, and several other technologies. Christianity and Judaism are nonexistent (though Islam is going strong). Human language is mostly slang, human history is lost, and bears are being domesticated. So all in all, it kinda turned out alright.
Being psychopathic idiots who mutilate themselves and each other for fun. If one got pregnant, as soon as the baby was born they'd usually just kill and or eat it. Also wouldn't make fires or wear warm clothes when it got cold, just wander around wearing whatever they wearing when they got infected.
This sounds like a very poorly thought-out contamination on the supernatural creator's part, unless this was just a disturbing Thanos-type flex to try and lower the population of the universe

Never said God was smart, just that he had power. And this disease only affected humans. One issue had a jaguar casually nomming on some Crossed heads and nothing bad happened to it.
I wasn't aware it was supposed to be God's doing haha. And I figured-- I don't think most of the animal species are in need of culling currently

Not even chimps can get infected. And it's explicitly stated that the virus is of supernatural origin. It spontaneously appeared on all 7 continents within days of each other and it was apparently incurable.
Hmmmm... nope. I know I'd die quickly. I have 'Vasovagal Syncopy' which means I faint when I get stressed. I'd say an apocalypse is stressful. Whoops, there I go, an easy meal.
Most of us gonna die
Why? Bc we are all dumb af and spend to much time scrolling the phone screen And zero time training or learning survival skills.
I may have a chance though, just bc my father can break coconut with his bare hands but he's old now so yea I'll die.
But it's all alright, you know why? Bc a zone apocalypse ain't gonna happen!
Ricky: "Ninety-eight percent of us will die at some point in our lives."
Cal: "The darkness is creeping towards you, whether you know it or not."
Ricky: "So a little planning can go a long way."
Cal: "Listen, leaving your big old corpse behind for your loved ones to deal with ain't cool. That's why you should call McCreedy Funeral Service."
Ricky: "McCreedy's. They'll find the hole and build the box."
Cal: "Bodies that look so good, you're gonna wanna talk to it."
