I think one person some how gets infected one way or another then he bites some one. Now there are 2 those 2 bite another 2 which means there are 4 bite 4 now there's 8 8 bite 8 now there's 16 16 bite 16 now there's 32. And this goes on.

The book by Max Brooks, called the zombie survival guide, says the virus has always been around, but only small, isolated populations of people have ever seen or been attacked by the infected.
I think that a tribe in some area of the rainforest see a zombie and mistake it for a person in need of help. When they try to help, the zombie will bite 1 of them and they will retreat back to the village to get help for the injured friend. After the injured tribesman has turned into the zombie and started wandering around, its loved ones think that he has healed and will run over to hug the zombified tribesman. This may happen to numerous family members and they may not think that the people bitten will soon become zombies. Pretty soon an entire tribe will be infected and zombies will be straying out to the other villages. Then some people from an organisation based in a 1st world country may arrive trying to save the rainforest or something. They do not realise the intent of the tribesman stumbling towards them until 1 is bitten. The bitten might try to seek medical attention at a hospital in a larger village or town, somewhere which has an highway leading through or maybe even a small airport. Once in the hospital the infected might bite some of the medical staff who might then be sent home because of their injury. Then the family of the medical staff are in danger, that whole town gets infected except for a few folk who try to get to a city for safety. What happens if while escaping a survivor gets bitten, what happens if they get on a flight to, lets say, AMERICA. What about if when he falls into the pre-zombie coma on the flight and people think hes just asleep. Then there is a zombie roaming around a plane. Planes don't have many weapons so they may think locking the biter in a toilet, tending to the wounds of the bitten until the plane can be landed safely. Then the bitten are taken to hospital and it happens all over again, in the USA.

Did anyone else get the distinct impression that the world-wide outbreak in World War Z started in China? I'm currently forcing my flatmate to read it to see if he gets the same impression.
If, indeed, it did arise from China, why would it have been there? Is it just sheer numbers that give the virus so many chances to jump hosts and mutate in the process? As a backup for this theory, there are more mutated births (deformed/extra body parts) that happen in the most populous countries (China, India, etc) than anywhere else. Would the same rule apply to a virus? Anyone get a diffenert impression of the origin? Any other theories as to why the contagion would have cropped up and grown so enormously in that place (area where you think it started)?

There are many possibilities to how the zombie virus could arise. The most common is that it would arise from a virus such as ebola or rabies, though of the two rabies would be the more likely due to its effect on behavior. Another possibility is it could arise from a artificial retrovirus, which would change the actual dna of the individuals genome of a person, and could cause certain brain functions and other processes to shut down or change rendering the victim in a zombie state.

It will happen by space probes returning to Earth and spreading a space-borne virus (Shaun of the Dead, Night of the Living Dead), a cure for AIDS or diabetes or other horrible disease goes awry (Resident Evil, I Am Legend), or a disease like rabies evolves.
