It's not gonna be like the zombie films where they all dig their way out of the ground. A virus will spread EVERYWHERE -- but when it gets inside funeral homes and hospitals, the newly deceased will get up and start walking around. You won't see a lot of dead people walking around, but every town will have their own sort of zombie group that people will see going down the road.
It's going to lead to mandatory cremation for everybody. There will be no more cemetaries after this. In fact, there won't even be funerals for the dead - once someone dies, they are automatically cremated.
This will actually turn into a GREAT thing because it'll advance science -- they'll figure out how to make people live longer - up to 300 years old.
Will they be bulldozed back into mass graves? Will they be netted and dumped into our oceans?
And how will this massive effort be managed or paid for with a (presumably) large percentage of the world's workforce pushing up the daisies?
I won't be alive, though - and I won't become a zombie because I'm already planning on cremation. I'm dying on August 12, 2017, by the way.
