Over the course of the next couple of years only a few more cases of the condition were being reported. We know now that the number of infected was significantly higher they were just not discovered because the lack of health insurance kept most Americans from taking their family members to get looked at. Initially the infected were not violent toward close friends and relatives. Actually, in most cases the sick seemed overtly passive and were happy to be sequestered in a small room as long as they were fed regularly and had a television or radio on in the background. Aside from being unresponsive and clinically dead the main issue with the infected was the prolific amount of runny shit that they produced. 


The less humane among us opted to keep our undead brothers and sisters unclothed and simply blasted them twice daily with a p
ower washer.  Those of us who could afford it  shipped their loved ones off to old folks homes and washed their hands of the whole thing entirely. Because of this for a few years there was a huge increase in the business of elder care which the media quickly attributed to the aging baby boomer generation.  Inadvertently the media outlets, due to their casual researching skills were covering up a country wide problem, one that conspiracy theorists would later describe as the largest contributor to the systematic undoing of America. 

Like an aging quarterback with two shot knees and a botched Achilles heel operation America was too proud to sit on the sidelines and admit that the untamed sickness was approaching epidemic proportions.  At some point the country was divided down the middle by a small but very vocal group of condition deniers who refused to accept that their was anything wrong with the growing number of living dead Americans. These protesters only proved to help proliferate the disease throughout many of the red states as well as irreparably damaging the image of American strength on the world's stage.
