Alright, I know there are a few of these floating around, but I'm trying to make a comprehensive timeline on what will probably happen should a zombie plauge arise.
Day 1- Scattered reports come in to newsdesks and papers that people have been either attacked or killed by insane cannables. The government in the US and other western nations take little note. The Carribean is a different story. Thousands flock to voodoo witch doctors, desperate for relief. In Asia, totalitarian regimes such as China hunt down and destroy anyone matching these descriptions, while nations such as Japan and S. Korea imprison them.
Day 2- More reports of attacks come in, along with others of a strange illness appearing in parts of the world. Western nations take some notice, but simply pass it off as some sort of AIDS mutation. In China, word is leaked to the Associated Press that there are hundreds of cases of attacks being reported in Bejing alone. Russia, with thousands of miles of tundra, has relatively few problems with said attacks. Tokyo reports that at least a dozen more people are arrested, though they are put into a hospital instead of jail because of "the strange necrosis of their limbs and bodies".
Day 3- New York reports three dozen more incidents, causing concern among Americans that a new disease has been discovered. Scientists take the first steps by studying those attackers who have been captured. They to note the strange necrosis of the skin. Africa, having been devestated by disease so much in its history, is effectively in a panic, with warlords, tribes and governments all vying for power. Saudi Arabia is having problems exporting oil, due to workers fearing to leave for wells and refineries. Marines in Iraq are brought up on charges of attacking civilians, though the case is held when it is revealed that the civilians had bite marks on parts of their bodies.
Day 4- The first real footage of an attack is shown on CNN. The video, coming from Philadelphia, shows what looks like a homeless man stumble out from an alley and attacking a passing bystander. When police arrive, the man is dead, and the attacker not only takes multiple hits with a billy club, but also bullets before falling. Soon, however, the bystander rise up and startes attacking the officers as well, at which point the tape stops. Israel enacts a strict policy of isolation, literally shooting at anyone near the border. Cries from human rights activists fall on deaf ears.
Day 5- New Orleans, still devastated by hurricanes Katrina and Rita, are now under the onslaught of hundreds of people who seem to have contracted the disease. The police and National Guard in the area, already stretched thin, barely hang on. In Washington, a senator is attacked by a "drunken hobo". Soon, he is hospitalized and in a coma. France reports small-scale riots in its slums, though there are no reports of looting. Germany is also reporting rioting, but this comes as a surprise. Britan also reports rioting in its slums as well, but quick action by the police neutralizes it.
Day 6- Los Angeles is suddenly rocked by riots, along with Detroit and Newark. Though L.A. and Newark are quickly brought back under control, contact with Detroit PD officers in the area is cut-off amid panicked screams and gunfire. Attempts to reach them prove futile. The governor of Michigan announces a state of emergency. The only real enforcement comes from state police, as military forces are spread thin. The president makes a public announcement acknowledging that there may be a new disease, and asks health care professionals and scientists to study the victims. Contact with N. Korea becomes sporadic, and only state run media is operating on a barely regular basis.
Day 7- A hospital in New York is the site of a deadly riot when hundreds of patients and their families attempt to leave. Complicating matters, one of the victims of the disease is released, biting hundreds. Soon, the area is quarentined, and anyone entering or exiting without a reason is shot. Overseas, US military strength wanes, as troops are pulled from Iraq and Afghanistan to combat trouble at home. S. Korea, knowing it will lose US troops, starts to bolster its military. Riots in France effectively shut down the government, as the president and many officials flee to the country in order to keep the government running. Brazilian Amazon tribes are flocking to the cities, carrying reports of catatonic creatures impervious to weapons.
Day 8- The situations in New York, New Orleans, and Detroit continue to deteriorate. Doomsday cults are rumored to be springing up in the affected areas, along with bands of survivors trying to contact the government. The pope annnounces that this is not a divine punishment, and urges Catholics to rally to the faith and aid authorities in any way possible. The public in much of the world has taken to calling the affected "zombies".
Day 9- The situation in Detroit is deteriorating, as zombies start to break through the barricades surrounding the city. Only a few living remain inside the limits. Scientists have yet to find a cause for the outbreak, though a virus is stated as the most likely candidate. Pundits pass this off as "Romero's next big release". Las Vegas reports multiple encounters of the zombies, reporting that tourists are jamming the airport. Manhattan island is reported to be the most infected part of the eastern seaboard, with officials truly considering sealing it off. Ports worldwide are flooded with people desperate to board ships and leave for the safety of the sea. This proves false, however, when some passengers bring infected relatives onboard, in the false assumption that they would see the disease through. Such "dead boats" are ordered to be sunk on sight by all navies.
Day 10- The Iranian government falls to massed student protests,but this proves worthless when infected appear in the middle of the turmoil. Soon, there are no major communications coming out of Tehran. Chinese cities, due to massed overcrowding, see the worst of the disease, with entire divisions of the PLA being called out to combat the threat. Japan is little better, as the Tokyo police are finding it increaseingly difficult to get a handle on the growing number of undead. Scientists in Switzerland have formally announced that the victims are, medically, dead. However, their circulatory and nervous systems remain operable, though the exact reason "has yet to be discovered". N. Korea is effectively dead, since not even state broadcasts have been heard in the past four days. Russia, now seeing rising numbers of infected, enacts a policy of "scorch and burn", where all infected are destroyed on discovery, and their homes and possesions burned, in the belief this will keep the disease from spreading.
Day 11- Detroit is declared lost, as thousands make one last desperate flight from the city. Inside, embattled survivors battle cult members who see the zombies as "a higher form of life", and try to spread it outside the city limits. Massed bombing of the city is initiated, though this proves futile, as the zombies are found to survive even the most horrendous injuries.
Day 12- Africa is effectively dead, but western news agencies fail to realize this due to the continents instability. Even the fact that many nations have not been contacted in days is no reason for concern, as networks such as CNN, Fox News, and publications like Time magazine, are concentrating on the Western outbreaks more than Africa. Europe has had surprising ly few problems with containment, due to their high proportion of special forces trained for anything, but the common people are having trouble grasping how this could happen, as science still hasn't found an answer. When the queen of England dies, rumor spreads like wildfire that she was a zombie and had to be euthanised.
Day 13- Tokyo is the first sight of a massive outbreak, when a lab technician sees a relative infected and tries to hurry them outside so they don't get tested like the others. But how the japanese tested the undead is revealed later. For now, all of Tokyo is being infected more and more. The JSDF is overwhelmed and has to pull out to the country, while a small group of SAT and JSDF are holed up in the airport off the coast. S. Korea makes small forays into the North, and so far has discovered many small towns have been razed to the ground. However, in searching the bodies, they discover that some haven't been turned yet. In fact, some were very mmuch alive when killed. However, the searches are called of when massive numbers of undead start attacking the scouting groups. Russia is becoming increasingly desperate, as survivors from the tundra start flooding cities, bringing infected with them. Vladivostok naval base is reporting ever increasing encounters, while St. Petersburg is becoming a dead city. Similar incidents are reported in Mexico, China, Brazil and India.
Day 14- The UN reports that at least five countries have been destroyed due to the now official "Zombie Pandemic". The countries lost appear to be N. Korea, Swaziland, Peru, Haiti, Costa Rica and Jamaica. The reasoning for the Carribean is that with the strong sense of voodoo tradiotions, it became impossible for doctors and other professionals to stop the undead, as they were protected by relatives who thought them to be controlled by a witch doctor. In the US, Texas has organized "Neighborhood Sweep Patrols", made to clear unoccupied houses of the undead. In Louisiana, the general consesus is that New Orleans is lost, and the government starts pulling troops out. In Detroit, a broadcast is recieved by the government. However, it is not from survivors, as initially hoped. Instead, it is from a cult calling itself "The Renewed Earth". Claiming that humans are unfit to serve as the planets caretakers, these "new lifeforms" will regulate us, keeping our destructive tendencies in check. The government responds by triangulating the transmission, then sending multiple MOABs to that point. The blasts, along with the shockwave, obliterate whole blocks of the city.
Day 15- A dead ship lands of Normandy, and, for a second time, the beach is stormed. However, there is no army present to put up an defense, and, in what is later described as a "sick parody" thousands of undead swarm the coastal towns, causing the Frecnh government to order massive bombings. Science is still unclear as to the origins of the pandemic, though they have agreed that the primary cause is viral transmission. The situation is Japan continues to deteriorate, as increased numbers of undead shabble about the city. There are survivers, and some have even found equipment that enable them to aid the JASDF in making bombing runs in areas of highly concentrated numbers of undead.
UnUndead's prediction, based on Solanum Zs:
Day 1:1: Some hobo in New York City (any city would work. This is an example) gets infected, and bites several other hobos because they're right next to him on the sidewalk. You may hear about some crazy, starving drunk getting too desperate for food on the news.
Day 2:2: All the hobos that were bitten turn into Zs, and repeat the process. Right now there are less than ten Zs, so no one really notices. The only way you'll find out is if you happen to see one eating a hobo as you walk to work/school/gym/etc.
Day 3:3: Now there are as many as fifty Zs, and they've started attacking random passersby. Most people who are bit today go to the hospital, and some of the tourists and business people who are bit go back home or to other cities, and maybe overseas. You hear reports of violent murders and cannibalism. Police arrest many Zs, but not before they've bitten as many as five people each, and many of the police are bitten. People start panicking and rioting. Any arrested Zs infect their cellmates, and during mealtime possibly the whole jails. By the end of the day, there are probably less than twenty Zs, most having been killed by people who have watched Dawn of the Dead more than ten times, or visit this website regularly, but there are hundreds of infected people.
Day 4:4: The jail and hospital are overrun; almost everyone in either building is a Z. They come out of the jail and hospital in hundreds, feasting on the people in the streets. There's major rioting, looting, and fleeing going on, and the streets in the vicinities of the jail and hospital quickly become packed with cars.A few local media stations finally start reporting that these are indeed the undead, and they tell people to leave the city. People, some with infected family members, listen, and further spread the infection. Several doomsday cults are started as a result of the news reports. National media calls the reports a "sick joke made to inspire fear," and/or "a terrorist's message of hate."
Day 5:5: The areas around the jail and hospital are heavily infected, and riot police are struggling to keep the Zs at bay. Major news stations report riots caused by cannibalistic revolutionaries or a crazy religious group. The areas are quarantined and barricades are erected. Police are ordered to kill rioters on sight. The barricades hold, but many police are bitten, and most Zs that die are killed by accident.
Day 6:6: Bitten police wake up as Zs and infect their families all over the city. Police have noticed that you can blow holes the size of fists through the "rioters'" chests and they keep walking. The barricades break as police freak out and desert, with the intent of saving their families. As many as half a thousand Zs are unleashed upon the city.
Day 7:7: The outbreak has reached class three, with Zs numbering in the thousands. The vast majority of Zs are still within ten miles of either the hospital or jail, while the rest are scattered throughout the city. News reports say that the revolutionaries have taken over a portion of New York, and have converted many members.
Day 8:8: You start hearing news reports of cannibalistic rioters in other major cities, both in the U.S. and in other countries. There are now over ten thousand Zs in New York, and other major cities are about four days behind. Although this may seem like a huge number, it's really only a small fraction of New York's population. Some cities and countries react better than others, but few can actually hold off the undead.
Day 9:9: Zs in New York number at above fifty thousand. Martial law has been declared, and the military is called out of whatever country it happens to be invading at the time of the outbreak to fight the Zs. The soldiers are told that they are rioters. They're deadishness is explained away, as are all the weird things about them. They are told to shoot for the heads of the rioters, and not to let anyone out of the city until they've been checked by a team of doctors.
Day 10:10: The state of New York continues to decline. Zs number anywhere from two to four hundred thousand. The Caribbean and areas in Africa where Voodoo is prominant have caught up to it ( in terms of human:zombie ratio), though, and most third world countries are having a very rough time.
Day 11:11: U.S. troops begin to try to take New York, but are outnumbered by Zs, because now the U.S. is dedicating troops to preventing infection from reaching critical levels in other cities.cities, and only sends twenty thousand men to New York. On top of that, actual rioters and doomsday cults are attacking the military for supplies and weapons. When the people see how slow evacuation is, many start trying to run past the soldiers. Freaked out, the soldiers start firing into the masses, failing to hit many in the head. The infected that were shot get up as Zs shortly afterward. This, of course, freaks out the troops like nothing else could, and they break and run, leaving the city infected.
In other cities, the military is more successful than in New York. In several cities (mostly those without big hospitals or jails), all Zs are killed, along with most of the infected. In most, Zs are almost wiped out before the troops are overrun. Predominantly Voodoo practicing and many third world counties are nearly overrun, while most European countries and Australia are a few days behind the U.S.United States. Russia, Northern Canada, and northern Europe have not had many problems with the undead. With the turmoil farther south, these areas have started restricting tourism and immigration from southern countries. The untterly unitresting and rural areas are having almost no problems with zombies.
NOTE:NOTE: I'm not sure about Asia, as I'm not familiar with its cultures, history, or countries' laws.
