I suppose it does. I generally think of infection style zombies since thats what most of the more modern movies are. Even with resurrection style though, people would see shit rising from graveyards and most of the original swarm would be extremely decomposed. They aren't fooling anyone into thinking they are just sick alive people. That version is also always incredibly slow and shambling, easily defeated by most architecture. People also really underestimate just how much corpses decay. We'd be looking at less than 1 billion corpses with the ability to rise. Probably far less. Dead people also smell REALLY bad. You aren't letting anything smelling that bad anywhere near you whether its alive or dead.

With info spread, people have have phones and social media. It takes just one person to see a rotting corpse walking around to post it on facebook or something and then everyone knows. Most boats don't have frequent deaths on board so the info would spread to them before they had to worry about it, at least for 99%. I'm just not buying it. We are talking about things that normal civilians manage to take out 1000s of each and they start with less than the global population in an era with instant information spread.

I always wondered if the virus somehow slowed the decay. Because even in the walking dead video game, they are still around years later. And lots of them. I know there are a lot of people on Earth, but it always seems like a crazy amount to still be around...

And they do smell. I'm guessing that either it's a fresh one that got close. Or maybe seeing a certain loved one froze you, even with the smell. Though, it's hard to tell. And these days, info does spread faster. Only if because people are always recording. That being said, it would be also a challenge to know if it was a hoax or not. Even in my town (or close by), we have (or use to have) an annual zombie run. Everyone dresses up like Zombies and runs for a charity. I don't remember much about it, I just handed out water. And I think they have had stuff like that before. Like zombie parties and whatnot. Which could make it hard to tell truth from hoax... Especially since in real life, most people wouldn't think zombie could exist...

Though, in the end, it really depends. If they get a bunch of people that can't take them out (or can't take them out fast enough), their numbers can grow rapidly. Not to mention, for some reason (usually because they don't know it movies), they don't go for the head. Which makes sense. Headshots (especially with certain weapons) are hard. And if your opponent isn't wearing armor, your taught to shoot for the body since it's a bigger target.
