Hey I like this. PED's are the cause of the outbreak. It started in May. Baseball season is a month old in May. Basketball and hockey playoffs are in May. Every city Kimmet listed has some sort of professional sports team. Barry Bonds is the answer.
A virus, pathogen that could reduce man kind to mindless violent muppets would be either a deliberate act performed with a religious byline or a mistaken side effect from something like (as mentioned) a wonder drug cure for something. I am going to throw this out there, but with the work on stem cell research do you think we could be getting closer to creating the end of civilization as we know it? I am not pushing any theories or beliefs here just posing a question.
I'd like to think that right now, we cant comprehend why and what the zombie virus is. I kinda see it like being the Black Plague of our times- It cuts down 2/3 of us because we are not mentally equipped to understand it, just like those 14th century people couldn't comprehend why was that happening to them. Lets not forget that they had their own theories- The church thought that its because people were sinful and adulterous (real original there, Church), and the Paris university concluded that it was caused by harmful fogs coming from the southern oceans. The Fogs themselves were caused by a bad planet alignment.
So yeah, for me the point of a zombie virus would be to make us open our minds to new possibilities. What if human apathy causes the virus, or anger? What if some formulation of ''being a dick'' generates the whole thing? You know kinda like Dr. Masaru Emoto's studies (the guy that researched water molecules in contact with different human emotion), only not pseudoscience, but actual real truth.
TL;DR The Virus should give us the opportunity to learn something new about ourselves, and let us correct our view of life.
Of course, if we just do what the Black death people do, we will simply survive it and learn the truth centuries later :D
