Could The Walking Dead happen in real life? In this video, we explore the science behind zombie outbreaks and compare it to real-world diseases and military response plans.
We break down the Walker virus, look at mind-controlling parasites, and even dive into the Pentagon’s actual zombie plan (yeah, that’s a real thing). Plus, we’ll see which survival tactics from the show might actually work in a real crisis.
By the end, you’ll know if you need to start prepping for the zombie apocalypse or if there are other threats we should be more worried about.

What would YOU do to survive a zombie apocalypse? Comment your answer below!
Yes it could, even scientists have already confirmed this.
If I’m not mistaken, one can get Kuru from eating people so…..
We got TWD Irl before GTA 6 💀
i expected to see Kensington footage! haha
good stuff Jerry
BTW, im all for it happening IRL
It wouldn’t be like “walkers” in TWD. It would be like the “rage virus” in 28 days later. If your shot…you die
Rabies scares the crap out of me too omfg
It's probably a mutagenic virus, sorta like resident evil but not as crazy. It rewrites your DNA and attempts to revive you.
The biting and migration is already basic human behaviour. So if you can rewrite human DNA. Boost cellular regeneration. You can create some authentic Walkers.
Chronic wasting disease in dears I deal is pretty similar to walkers at least in the decomposition part.
Fun Fact….Civil war was filmed in sonoia…..(Woodburry) twd
So the video should have been we could get the last of us not the walking dead
I been feeling bad and I went to see my doctor to see what’s wrong and he said I have green flu , he told me not to worry it’s nothing serious.
Not a zombie apocalypse, but an EMP killing our electric grid is technically possible. Most of our food and water comes from machines growing, cleaning, and importing supplies. Those machines can’t run with oil and gas which is collected and shipped using electric. So most people would be unprepared in this situation.
Its scientifically impossible to reanimate a dead person with no working circulatory system the body would have no way to physically move nor could they smell or make the noises the Walkers make lol 😆 its ridiculous to consider a real life out brake .
The last of us is
Way scarier in the last of us they run in The Walking Dead they walk
The virus in TWD was the "Wild Fire Virus" as stated by the CDC I believe
Guys dont w9rry. If we keep LA burning we will have a constant furnace for food
The cordyceps fungal infection from the last of us is far fetched while trying to say the wildfire virus is possible, And as "specialized" for incects as it is. All it really takes is to make its self more resistant to temperatures to infect mammals.
If TWD happen in real life, for real, I won't be scared or pissed, but fucking thrilled!
All I did so far was the deeds of the others, but with a scenario like this? It's the wild west with zombies and for real, with all the goddamn things that we endured that made our lives boring, slow and pointless since 2020 I have three words for it and it's : "bring it on"…
I live in Texas, my house is a goddamn castle, I'm armed to the goddamn teeth, I'm a survivalist since 2012 and I've food, gas, an armored truck and a shitload of stuff for the next 50 goddamn years so yeah, bring it on…
No more taxes, no more boss, no more wake up alarm, no more stupid goddamn society, no more rules and NO MORE MISTER NICE GUY…
Just me myself and goddamn I !
BRING
IT
F***ING
ON!
a real world threat is my album dropping March 21 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
"it's like the virus is turning them into some kind of rabid animal 😮😮😲😱😱😱"
5:20
Rhino virus crossed with the Rabies virus would be a start 😂
You know, I always thought it would be outlandish for a virus of this scale to happen.
And then Covid showed me how stupid society as a whole can be. That’s the true variable, the common man being an idiot. Militaries get overwhelmed, and supply lines break. All it takes is one breach for it all to go to the dogs. But I am somewhat confident the Military can handle it, hopefully.
I wouldn’t say a walker virus but if some scientist decided to mix rabies with Cordycept that may work
I never understood why more universes don’t try using Nerve Gas like VX on any zombie / walker / infected. If the infected are technically still alive like 28 days later it would work like we see in 28 weeks later. I also wouldn’t see why it wouldn’t work on Last Of Us infected, even if the mushrooms took over the nerve system you should be able to cook up a new nerve agent that would target the fungus. Now I don’t know how well nerve agents would work on walkers from walking dead or any true dead zombies. I would assume they would work but to my knowledge I’ve never heard of or seen it happen with truly undead.
