You know those stories where the world is reduced to a post-apocalypse after a natural event? What if that's only what happens in the US, and the rest of the world recovers with ease due to extant rescue services?

If it wasn’t for the stupid Darrel Dixon show, my head canon of the walking dead only affecting America would still stand.

They literally just walk, and it would be pretty obvious that everyone is infected after the first year or so of people dying from the flu and shit. Any country with competent leadership could have squashed the zombies in a couple months.

Isn't that the case in the 28 X later series? Like England fell to a zombie apocalypse but the rest of the world is doing fine?

Wellllll the implications of the ending of 28 weeks later is that the rest of the world had a reprieve but are fucked eventually...
