Sooo does that mean my present government and civil order is doing just fine in the remaining pocket of survivors?
If so, in a lot of ways, that would be good for me. No shortage of housing or food, and lots of new opportunities. It's not ethical to condemn pretty much everyone else, though, if I literally am deciding for it to happen in-universe.
id look at is as "falling in real time" like French revolution or czar losing power in Russia
For the zombies scenario? That's what I meant - you've presented it as either-or, but a serious loss of population seems like it could lead to political instability fairly easily. Political instability always sucks to live through.
Yeah it's a would you rather so it's an either/or. Everyone turning into some kind of zombie would be different than everyone not turning into zombies but the government stops functioning
