Surviving The Last of Us Scenario

from What If: Science, Theory, and Possibilities · host What If

The world you know no longer exists. Your family, friends, and neighbors are gone. Outside, horrific zombie-like creatures roam the streets. And if you breathe in their spores, you're one of them. And if that wasn't bad enough, human factions have formed that want you dead... or worse. Luckily it's just a fictional universe of the popular game and TV show The Last of Us, and this could never happen. Right? Right...? What if you became infected? And how would you survive in this new world? Transcript and sources: https://whatifshow.com/the-last-of-us-in-real-life/ Questions or concerns?
