Humans would survive the typical ( slow zombie ) zombie apocalypse.

Let me begin by establishing what exactly the typical zombie apocalypse is. The typical zombie apocalypse involves a single person becoming a zombie ( patient 0 ) and the virus spreading by bite only from person to person. The typical apocalypse also involves the typical zombie. The typical zombie is slow and lumber around until it is stimulated. Once stimulated it moves at a jogging pace. Typical zombies cannot climb ladders, are incapable of using weapons or tools. One discription of the common zombie is "the dumb zombie" for the simple reason that they have lost complex brain functions. For an example of the typical zombie I will use the walkers from the Walking Dead. World War Z shows zombies that are not typical and as such these aren't examples of typical zombies. Animals are not sucseptible to infection. With that established I will state several points.1. The first 30 minutes of the apocalypse could easily be the last. Think about this. Patient 0 falls ill at home and proceeds to fall unconscious. Who ever is living with this person the calls 911 ( or whatever emergency number is in place in their country ) and paramedics arrive. Givin the typical amount of time it takes to turn the patient will reach the hospital. At the hospital there WILL ( in most countries ) be security guards. The patient turns in the ER and bites several doctors. The floor or wing would be immediately locked down or considered contaminated. Security would enter the room and likely beat the first zombie to death with night sticks or other weapons. The biten doctors would be quarantined ( as is protocol ) for examination. They would enter unconsciousness and we all know what happens later. After a second incident the Security and remaining doctors would know what was happening and lock te remaining unconscious and bitten patients in to confirm. Sure enough. .. they would likely call the police and the zombies would be killed. 2. Police response. Failing my last theory the hospital or neighborhood would be quickly infected. Police would arrive. Cops would rush the area and likely attempt a non lethal response first ( stun guns, pepper spray, or batons ) this would fail. Luckily though we live in a world where zombies are popular in TV and movies. Officers would quickly catch on and open fire, aiming for head shots. The hospital, street, etc. Would be surrounded with road blocks manned by armed cops. Citizens attempting to run by would be searched for bites. Armoured SWAT and riot control officers would arrive at the contaminated zone. I've seen the armour they wear in person. It can stop most knives and deal with most attacks involving blunt or stabbing objects. If the armour can do that it can stop some zombie from bitting through it. SWAT would quickly clear the area and kill remaining zombies.3. The might of modern militariesLet's say the plague infects Millions of people. The Military would be deployed in force. The largest armies in the world are those of the US, Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, Turkey, India, France, etc. The largest one ( usually excepted as China ) has 7.5 million soldiers. These are smart, heavily armored, combat ready, highly mobile men and women with powerful ranged weapons. They are pitted against a bunch of slow moving, dumb, creatures with clearly exposed heads ready to be shot. Zombies don't have guns an move slowly. This means that a soldier could easily kill 50 zombies on his own all in one encounter before being so much as touched by one. Military forces would lock down cities, air ports, and towns with walls, checkpoints, and watch towers. Soldiers on mounted guns would mow down any zombie that gets close. A sniper in a tower could kill hundreds of them since they can't even climb the ladder up to him. Of course Police and Military agencies would also deploy helicopters. When is the last time you saw a zombie fly. Remember the typical zombie cannot fly or swim. Helicopters would effectively doom cities full of zombies to be destroyed by machine gun fire. Bombing raids and Napalm would also be effective. Navies would also be used. Sea born fleets would house evacuated civilians and would be in accessible to zombies.4. CDC, WHO and other medical response. Agencies like the CDC and WHO would be quick to quarantine areas and perform tests on any trying to exit. Reserchers would look for a cure. In movies none is ever found but who says that they wouldn't find one in real life.5. Outer Space. We currently have a massive biological research facility in outer space. The International Space Station would serve as a Cure research facility compleatly inaccesible to zombies until such a time that supplies from Earth stopped coming.6. The doomsday bunkers. Many of the world's leaders ( US President Obama, Russian president Putin, and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un to name a few ) have massive bunkers underneath their residences that are reportedly capable of housing them for years before supplies run out. These bunkers also are reported to be capable of withstanding Nuclear blasts, let alone some zombies smacking at the door. Inside the bunkers are fully operational communications systems and control computers that allow for Nuclear Weapons Launch.7. Nuclear BombsZombies can take alot of damage. Despite that nothing can survive a nuclear bomb. Look at the photos from Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Those were Atom bombs far less powerful or destructive than modern Nuclear Missiles. Once a country fell other government would likely fire Nuclear Weapons to prevent further spread. All zombies in the area would be disintegrated.8. North KoreaWith a Military sizes of around 7,000,000 ( nearly 1/3 of the nation ) North Korea fields the world most heavily defended boarders and oceans. There is an army of around 1,000,000 stationed at the boarder with South Korea making it a near impossibility to enter or exit over the boarder without dying in a hail of gunfire ( and mine blasts, missiles and artillery ). NK also has a border artillery force capable of wiping out nearly 30 percent of SK in 1 day. No zombie would ever make it in. As evil as the regime is it is certainly capable of defending it self.9. Island nations. There are hundreds of isolated island nations and micronations out there that would not be accessible to a zombie. Many of these places wouldn't even notice that any ting had happened until years after the rest of the world fell. Even large populous islands like Cuba or even Australia would be quick to lock down ports and airports.10. Common Knowledge. Unlike in movies we are lucky to have the common knowledge that killing a zombie means hitting it in the head. Citizens would take arms fast, if not with guns then with bats, knives and even hockey sticks. They would know exactly where to aim.
