After reading reports that 50,000-year-old \u201czombie viruses\u201d could be unleashed due to a warming Earth, some have declared themselves ready \u2013 come what may. The story of Rick Grimes, Michonne, Daryl Dixon, and others in TWD universe has been captivating for years, not just on television but also in Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore\u2019s comics series. For the main characters, crossing paths with villains such as Negan or The Governor has proven to be just as dangerous as the walkers themselves. Some enemies even dressed up as zombies, as fans will know. The Whisperers carved out one of the scariest periods in the apocalyptic world. Even with all of the wild tales and dangers that come with these storylines, many readers will still wonder at the back of their minds: \u201cWhat if it all really happened?\u201d Especially so, when talk of a \u201czombie virus\u201d comes to light. The Walking Dead fans respond to \u201czombie virus\u201d reports As reported by Bloomberg, a French virologist has stated that thawing Siberian permafrost could bring ancient outbreaks back to life \u2013 stating \u2018zombie viruses\u2019 could emerge as the atmosphere warms up. It is reported that 50,000-year-old viruses could pose a serious health risk to humans. This follows on from stories reported in March that viruses that had been left frozen and dorment for at least two years had been found again. Across several social media posts, fans have been responding to the possibility of a \u201czombie virus\u201d in jest. One said: \u201cI can finally be Rick Grimes,\u201d responding to an IGN post. Another said: \u201cI watched The Walking Dead already. I know exactly what to do.\u201d Others joked that this could be a new season for the show, which has since ended its main storyline with Season 11. Rick and Michonne have split off to do their own spinoff, just like Daryl Dixon (alone), as well as Maggie and Negan. The Ones Who Lived is set to air in February 2024, with a teaser dropping on October 12. Some fans have already speculated that Rick may have lost his hand in the time he\u2019s been off-screen. Despite the name of the viruses reported in 2023, though, it\u2019s safe to assume there will be no flesh-eating zombies to come from these diseases. So, don\u2019t expect to border up the windows or go looking for communities with walls just yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Walking Dead fans \u2018ready\u2019 as 50,000-year-old \u201czombie virus\u201d reportedly unleashed AMCThe Walking Dead\u2019s comics and TV shows have given fans around the world an idea of what it would be like to live among flesh-eating zombies.
