because the plague totally didnt kill anyone
That disease was/is different.
You're a moron. Something of that scale would be unavoidable, not even the military would be able to contain it.
You don't get it, do you.
It's not like the movies, and games, where a group of people kill zombies, and escape on a helicopter, or where zombies destroy the world completely, like you think.
It would take people joining forces, and supplies to counter a massive outbreak, and rebuild all society that was lost from the infection.
In all probability, the military would clean it up once they got wind of it. They would also research a cure for the said virus, if not already made.
