Well unless its evil dead style and magic based with the previously dead rising and animated limbs.
Even t-virus style where animals can be infected, the virus can mutate the hosts and the who thing is rather more dangerous.
We have to consider how to contain the outbreak, not getting biten isn't as easy as it sounds when you are trying to also treat and guard the outbreak. If the virus makes you crazy and or strong and or fast then it gets a bit more complicated.
Also its always people who are hiding their initial infection who are the downfall of any healthy group.
Look, you're mixing up various zombie ideas. Are we talking Haitian magic, Romero story-lines, Bruce Campbell black comedy, or infectious disease? None of these things have any real likelihood of turning into a zombie apocalypse! My point was that, even if the worst did somehow occur, the most realistic would almost certainly wear itself out in a matter of a few days. Therefore, act with wisdom and care, get away from the outbreak and you should be safe.
I'm not talking about mixed reasons, my point was there's many reasons that a zombie outbreak wouldn't behave like a regular disease situation.
And the only constant is healthy groups tend to be torn apart by scared people who try to hide their infection. Especially when the go-to way to deal with it is to kill the infected person. I think a true zombie outbreak (say something like 28 days rage or Planet Terror chemical leak) wouldn't be as easily contained as something like ebola.
Not least because we already are tainted by all these other ideas of zombie-ism and fantastical ideas on how it works and how to deal with it.
