Wasn't there a scene were the military was shooting other military members? After the breakout some people turned on others for various reasons.
lets say that happened; that's, like, for 20 people. or maybe 1,000 people. there are millions of soldiers! so many, they made pariah one.

alright, so the one chick almost opened a door knob. she's on par with a velociraptor. most walkers can't do anything but groan. the army has tanks, planes, and guns. ...they don't have doors with deadbolts?
even within this show, a single old man was able to capture and contain 5 times as many zombies as in his crew! and with what mighty sorcery? a chain!! if only the military had traded their fleets of aircraft carriers and stealth bombers for a collection of bicycle locks!

even if that's the case, it just doesn't make any sense. for zombieism to hit millions of people that means at one point it was in 50 people. then let's say 50 people slip by while you're learning whats going on, and all of a sudden its 20,000 people. 6.5 billion can't stop 20,000 people?
and, note, that's 20,000 people who allowed themselves to be bitten by other people who had recently died. and this is also known as 20,000 failed zombie attacks, since zombies don't bite, they eat. so even if there were 20,000 zombies, if they were to find other victims, they'd be eating them whole for sustenance, which means they're not creating any new zombies.
then there's the concept that this is happening all over the world - the scientist guy said france was having issues too. and what does that mean? that means airport screener let an angry, animated corpse through security, past the metal detector wands, onto a plane, where he presumably sat pleasantly in flight for 6 hours, had a few cocktails, got impatient with the other passengers when the pilot didn't switch off the seatbelt light fast enough, worked through customs, and then started eating those goddamn, beret-wearing french.
