Then we also have the TV series based on the game, The Last of Us where infected bread/flour cause the spread of the Cordyceps fungus. That explains why the Cordyceps fungus spread fast. Who would have thought bread and flour would be the vector of it. Then i would be dead ore infected, as a baker i work with that product every day. But think we are drifting away from you TL, my apologize.

Due to the time difference between the U.S. and my country, the posting of real-time updates is delayed by a day. I usually post once the updates for the day has been tweeted.

I notice the updates that are made are spread across a day. That's why I wait for the updates to be finished before reposting here with references to OTL. Notice how I replaced the fictional characters with their OTL counterparts.

Hmm Interesting now let's see what happen on Philippines in Knox Event. Initially spared as my guess. The Knox Infection would appear in regions where the U.S. has military bases or deployments such as in the UK, Germany, Japan, Okinawa, South Korea, and Somalia. There's a theory on Reddit that the KI was brought to other countries by U.S. military personnel on leave and reported to duty. Think of it as the Wildfire Virus from The Walking Dead or the T-Virus from the Resident Evil live-action universe. KI was theorized to be airborne, which explains why so many people became sick with the fever and turned into zombies. Or why the U.S. Army or National Guard suffered outbreaks behind friendly lines. First post on Reddit: Knox Event Worldwide CauseYep, Operation Gothic Serpent was ongoing at the time of the outbreak. See map: SourceClosest one I could find is from 1989, so that four-year difference will have to suffice as a reference. Second post on Reddit: The Knox Event is airborn, which is how the rest of the world collapsed as time goes on in the gameThe characters we play are immune to the airborne strain, but a bite will surely make someone turn. Scratches and lacerations have less chance to become zombified. Clark and Subic was formally turned over by the U.S. to the AFP in November 1992. So in July 1993, there are no U.S. military deployments in the Philippines. But my guess is the Philippines would eventually fall as travelers from the U.S., Japan, and South Korea may have brought the KI to the country. The AFP was also a bad state in 1993. President Fidel V. Ramos might be evacuated to Baguio. Metro Manila, Cebu, Davao, and other major cities would be overrun. One Problem on Philippines what if someone been infected and got entered on Philippines ala Trojan Horse when shit hits the fan panic ensues hoarding can of food guns and ammo and kill any neighbor been thinking they are Zombies.

One Problem on Philippines what if someone been infected and got entered on Philippines ala Trojan Horse when shit hits the fan panic ensues hoarding can of food guns and ammo and kill any neighbor been thinking they are Zombies. The airborne strain must have been brought along to those countries. Which then turned people into the zombies and the zombies spread it through bites. Immunity to the airborne strain is confirmed, but an immune person getting bitten will turn. No one is immune to bites.

Then they had a Shoot to kill Protocol if someone got bitten then kill them a needs of the many.

Always surprise me, even if you are immune, you still can die by being killed by a Zombie.

imagine the AFP and Philippine Police had that protocol Shoot to kill order if any filipino been bitten by a stray zombie will be shot rather than been spreading like wildfire to cause panic imagine Filipinos been flocked on Gunstores to buy Guns and Ammo while in Danao Cebu those gunmakers been going on demand for Guns on their Gun manufacturing and ammo.

No-fly zone established over Knox. I assume that is mostly to keep media choppers from flying over Knox.
