Rick missed the real reason The Walking Dead's world fell apart so quickly. While he slept, the government herded survivors into big cities, thinking only bites spread the infection. This led to mass death and created huge zombie hordes from day one.
The world of The Walking Dead was doomed well before the iconic lead Rick Grimes woke up from his coma. The Walking Dead's zombie apocalypse - inspired by the early work of George A. Romero - treats Walkers as more of a natural disaster to navigate than enemies to kill. Walkers are mostly dangerous when they surprise humans, or when enough of them congregate together to create a 'herd,' making life post-outbreak about learning to manage the undead.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Way back in The Walking Dead #2 by creative team Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore, Rick found a band of survivors led by Glenn, after nearly being killed by a herd in Atlanta. When Rick mentions that he's never seen so many Walkers together, Glenn explains that cities quickly became death traps because of a fatal decision made by the government. They herded citizens to big cities in an attempt to set up human bases that would be easy to protect.
The Government Accidentally Created Zombie Herds In Walking Dead lore, herds are the ultimate form of zombie threat. Once zombies end up in the same place, they tend to stick together, and over time this can create a vast sea of the undead. While individual Walkers are easy to kill, thousands of them at once can overrun human cities simply through numbers - pushing down walls and cutting off all escape routes.
By gathering people together, the government guaranteed that these huge herds were formed immediately, creating unbeatable zombie herds which then wandered free across the unprepared country. Had this process been delayed by spreading people out, America would have found it way easier to defend against or manage the same number of zombies, having the chance to whittle away at them in smaller groups.
America Fell Quickly Because It Misunderstood the Infection Of course, this isn't to say that people like the president had any intention of letting things go badly. Since the cause of zombification was still unknown, it was an idea that seemed good at the time since they had the firepower to prevent any Walkers from getting in. However, that's simply not how The Walking Dead's infection works.
