Now, of course, every school child knows it was the first proto-zombie outbreak.

I think Ink is making a bad thing 1000x worse. Remember, people in the Colony had never seen a behemoth before. The zoms they knew were bad but unorganized. They tended to do random crowd movement type runs. Assuming that Ink isn't one of a cadre with members all over the world--we don't know what's going on everywhere.
The site won't let me rep you for that... so just the thumb will have to do... +1

I was thinking along similar lines earlier this evening... about a population bottleneck and the Mount Toba eruption. At this rate, are their even enough humans left to form a stable breeding population? I fear that the answer is no... but then again... still a few more chapters to go. Might not matter in the end.
