Yeah but 28 Days Later are fast zombies. UK falling to runners in a few weeks I can buy. But slow walkers, in a universe with no zombie lore, I could see 2 months being a pretty reasonable time.

Bigger thing to me, is that Rick had to have been unattended for at least a month probably closer to 3 months. First 60 days there were probably people at the hospital. Given that they barricaded the doors and everything, maybe some people even treated Rick before they left but it had to have been a good period of time with no one changing his IV or force feeding him through a tube.

Fear kind of helps with the explanation. Don't want to really spoil anything in case you decide to watch it, but basically

when the outbreak started no one knew what was going on. Cops were shooting infected and the fact they were infected was being hidden or suppressed. This led to people rioting against the police and eventually the military. So they had to deal with people while the infected died and then turned causing it to spread rapidly. That's how everything fell apart.
