One thing that is rarely detailed in the Zombie fiction is what the initial government response would be to a zombie outbreak.
Would they cordon off and quarantine the area of initial outbreak? Send in troops to extract non-bitten civilians and/or search and destroy missions?
Of course, I know that a lot would depend on the pathology of the zombie virus. If it were as fast acting as it was in the WW Z movie, that would present a completely different scenario. For our purposes, assume it's more of a Walking Dead/Night of the Living Dead virus. You get bitten or killed and then you turn, but it takes some time.
How do you envision a government response? (Other than the standard "Effed up, like everything they do." Spare us that please. This is a SERIOUS () zombie thread.
