since new zealand is missing from half of all maps ever made it's very likely they would probably just be forgotten.

As a New Zealander, I can confirm this is the case. Unfortunately, we would likely undergo drastic societal changes due to losing exports from the rest of the world, though giving how farming is one of our biggest industries, we will likely survive in some form. This of course, assumes that there were no cases within the country, which I highly doubt. Unless the mushrooms figure out how to swim.

Eh, anywhere else in the world government armories would be emptied of their contents pretty quickly by survivors. Gun control only works when you actually have a government.

It’s funny because places like cuba would be fine, why is it in a lot of post apocalyptic situations cuba ends up being fine

@@preceptorprime2894 I am thinking many panicked and infected Americans would try to flee to Cuba. Since it's relatively close and they have the means to do so like private yachts etc. Others like New Zealand would also face the same situation...unless they chose to execute everyone attempting entry, keeping infection at bay might be a challenge. The ones that would likely do the best are those isolated island nations that aren't as attractive or easy to flee to like Comoros or Tristan da Cunha. This is ideal because it takes quite a few days (6 days minimum from the closes ports in S. Africa) to travel to Tristan which can only accessed by boat as there are no landing strips/air ports. By which time anyone bitten would already have been overtaken by the fungus and visibly manifest symptoms enough time to get everyone on board. Any boats or ships now full of the infected would either capsize or drift aimless in the ocean. And be destroyed safely from a distance if they approached the island.

@@MuantanamoMobile or they could just close up their borders, they have military’s

The UK can be a good example too, the main island is a lost cause, but theres many smaller islands thats apart of the UK and since this is one of the rich countries with a pretty good military, i can see them setting up some QZs on islands, and the story following our main character progressing though the country to the safe haven.

Philippines and Indonesia is a contender, the main islands may become infected but the other islands may survive. Philippines also has a lot of guns in circulation, I'm guessing the freedom fighters will survive as they are already in hiding from the government and has a supply of ammunition they also usually live in the mountains and/or islands, their main problem would be information, will the information reach them first or will the infected do.(God I hope my government knows what context is and not think I'm one of them for some reason I hate to think they're reading this and is already mobilizing a force to get me)

+ Unless the infected decided to move to another place to get more prey to fall into their hands.

1 year later..... Yea I agree. The good thing about a scenario like this is because currency will go back to just trading items. You got something i want you have something I want. Lets trade. The currency we use today will seize to exist. By the way I could just imagine living on land. It would be wonderful. Your sitting on your porch, listening to the radio and all of a sudden you here a broadcast coming from the US that the zombie apocalypse has started😂😂 im curious Owen whats the first thing your gonna do? For me I would find my family ASAP. get a hold of them and find a place to meet up. If the games and movies serve us right the electronical grid should be shut down shortly after. Get all the phone calls in as possible

Most Canadians live near the border with the us though

@@rzwitdauncut I'm actually a millwright (industrial mechanic) that's worked in the energy sector, so I can speak on that topic with some authority. Southern Ontario would lose power within 48 hours because most of their energy is generated by nuclear plants on the great lakes. Without the engineers and operators the plants would automatically shut down and cool the fissile fuel to prevent a meltdown. Northern Ontario's power is mostly generated by hydroelectric plants. Depending on the plant it could stay operational for years. Larger plants are operated by automatic systems that could generate enough power to keep themselves running for years. Smaller plants are usually run by private companies that sell the energy and are less advanced requiring more human oversight to operate, they could probably run for a few weeks before failing. But, even large hydro plants would eventually fail due to lack of maintenance. Rust would eat at the structure, worn bearings and gears would seize the turbines, gearboxes would run dry without grease, electronics would corrode, water intakes would clog (which would also cause massive flooding), the list goes on. None of this actually matters because the grid itself would fail first (probably within a few days, assuming no safeguards are tripped) without people to oversee transformers and substations. So even if plants are operating, there's no power being delivered to your house. But, it is believable that people with the right technical, mechanical, and electrical knowledge would be able to restart a hydro plant or wire up abandoned solar panels with the right equipment and replacement parts. Sorry for the long winded rant, I hope my mechanical nerdiness was somewhat interesting

@@owen5640 yes this is great insight. See. This is EXACTLY why owners, managers, and hire ups should respect us more. Seriously. Owen without people like you to run the plants this whole entire place would be in shambles. The operations wouldn't run without proper supervision and insight like you said. If you guys aren't doing the job who will? Not the hire ups. Not the elites. No sir. I think the big thing would be communication. Like you said it would take minimum a few weeks for the average ones. Can you imagine? I mean man. That would be tough. Also I made a reddit post that if there ever comes a time when the broadcasters for the news bail out on the studio that would officially mean we are in a serious apocalypse. Like the people on the news reported the co19 throughout the entire time. If it comes a time when the only way you can get the news is by the radio then yea we are in a apocalypse for real. By the way is that type of work worth it?

That would be cool, a tv show that’s connected to the last of us and has your ideas would cool as well

Lmao shit

Awww shit, here we go again...

I just realised lol

Neil G the same probably happened with Australia. I imagine Australia might have fared better than the uk. I mean once you clear of all infected of an island all you got to do is stop any from potentially entering. Though I do think the uk and Australia still could have fallen due to heavy reliance on imported goods.

I saw that article too. Surprised no one else commented on it. I just wonder, how did Hawaii, Australia and the research scientist of Antarctica do against the virus?

@@coraldiamond1922 it could be the same in Japan, wich is just hundreds of islands, maybe mainland Japan is not very well but the small little islands probably are still having a normal daily life after the outbreal, so, with no means of sounding like a virgin but anime survived

lol the UK? Freezing immigration? LOL. "Pubs closed, borders open" ...

Also, in the intro, one of the news reporters mentions panic spreading worldwide about vaccination tests failing at the WHO. If it was only in the U.S., that wouldn’t happen.

And Venice is where the word “quarantine” originated as merchants during the Black Plague were required to isolate for 40 days in a compound before being allowed entry into the city.

İts a toruistic place where alot of people around the globe gather, i dont think they would last

@@KouNagai Ti xe caxo ti ti xe

Oh yes, the weakness of infected is swimming, so a fortress of survivors in Venice is very possible

How would you maintain the city from completely drowning without civilization, though? In about ten years there would be no dry land in my opinion, same for Netherlands. I mean, even Tommy says that both US costlines are completely under water, imagine those places.

Yeah, it certainly adds to the immersion. It’s like in the walking dead. Everyone’s knowledge of what happens to the outside world would be reduced to 0 as radio, TV and internet goes down for the last time. For lore reasons I would very much like to know, but I understand why we don’t get to. They’ve left just enough info in there for the fans’ imagination to go wild but not enough to give a definitive answer. Which is a great way to go about it

I find it's such an US American thing to go "Well, we have the most GUN and all problems can be solved by more GUN, right?" And all other societal and geographical factors are mostly brushed aside. It would be funny if CBI had exploded in the US through anti-pharma conspiracy theories insisting that the spores heal cancer or fends off 5G or something and was further spread by a tendency towards violent confrontation and inter-state movility further compounding the issue. While other countries did just fine by just staying at home and listening to specialists.

Well I mean HAM radio setups are pretty easy to make and they can broadcast across the whole world. It wouldn't be too hard at all to have global radio transmissions

​@@harvster997 I don't think the Internet would be that unlikely either. Yeah the local infraestructure would be fucked but I think the big fat tunnels with fiber optic going across the oceans would be alright. Lots of satellites should be fine too. People would find ways to communicate

this is kind of like what's going on in the Metro 2033 books. They take place in the year 2033 where the society is wiped out by a nuclear war and people are living in the remains of the subway in Moscow. In the last book, the main character goes outside and tries to find contact with other survivors via a radio, but basically no one in their society knows if there are even other survivors so there's speculation of cities that were unharmed or other subway people living somewhere else.

I was actually thinking that countries like the UK and Sweden would have incredible chances of survival. The UK has thousands of islands around the mainland, with 100-10,000 population levels for each one. Since the infected hate water, it wouldn't take too much to clear out some islands and make one purposed entirely for quarantine and others for research to protect other researchers discovers and some islands exclusively to protect the general surviving population. They'd also be able to survive off island crops, farm animals, and the surrounding fish. Once several islands are secure, they could focus on recouping larger islands with popualtions of 20,000-100,000. I could see a large project for the UK being to rid the Isle of man from cordyceps completely. Its population is 80,000. The island is huge. It has an airport and docks and multiple fields for farmland. The number of people infected on the Isle of man is finite. It won't succeed 100,000 and will be a large task for the UK, but also a doable one. Plus, the UK has the benefit of the Isle of man having its population spread out. The capital of the island makes up 1/3 of the population, and another three towns added to this number already accounts for over 50%. These 4 locations happen to be at completely separate points to one another, and the location at the airport doesn't exceed a population of 5,000. They'd be able to completely rebuild a civilisation from that Isle alone, never mind the multiple islands in Scotland. Anglesey is another location, the total population being 70,000. It's the largest Isle in Wales, and the seventh largest in the UK. It's also actually two islands, the smaller part being Holyhead, with a population of 14,000. The UK would need to blow up the bridges that comment Holyhead to the rest of Anglesey and Anglesey to the mainland. Then they'll have achieved another large landmass with a finite amount of total invected that they'd be able to work through with the goal of reclaiming in its entirety and rebuilding. TLOU states that 90% of the world dies or becomes infected, but I doubt that's going to be a fixed number for each nation. Small island populations or countries with multiple small islands have higher chances for survival, especially in colder climates or climates with extreme heat that don't match the required temperature for the fungus. With where the islands are located as well, I could forsee Ireland and the UK working together to reclaim as much of the islands as possible for the benefit of both their nations. If the battersea power station can become a location with a contained and functioning civilisation in the middle of London, then there absolute should be a thriving civilisation in the islands of the British Isles. Same for Norway and Sweden. I'd imagine mainland Europe would have a harder time, as would any other countries connected to the mainland of their continent. I'd absolutely love to see these island rich countries portrayed in TLOU. If one island fails, then the others wouldn't be affected, especially if they set up quarantine islands specifically to check for infections whilst travelling between islands. The hardest challenge would be the mainland, and I would love to see a story where the islands have mostly moved on from the cordyceps but have retained/regained communication with communities on the mainland, to see the differences in their survival and if the islands even try to clear out any zones on the mainland or if they see it as a lost cause.

Tbf even in South America there would be pockets of human life if not civilization. It's not a jungle continent, you've got essentially a big sample book of every environment on earth. There are lots of isolated areas and places with extreme temperatures.

Do you imagine everything in life based on the output of Hollywood and games?

Yeah, there's no way an infection like this actually spreads worldwide. Maybe if there really are spores that can resist huge distances. World War Z the book showed the only plausible scenario for something like this: if the incubation period is very long, like a month... desperate people will try to escape, break any quarantine and run and spread it everywhere.

South America isn't just a jungle. Argentina are Chile have tundra climates in their south, the Andes exist and Bolivia sits 6000 ft high. Mexico contains jungle, forest and desert. All this wild range of climates and inaccessible terrains would allow some holdouts to exist some better than other. My headcannon has Bolivia and Chile as the only SA countries still having an "official" government functioning. Bolivia still has some considerable population scattered in the mountains due to how inaccessible it is by road in our current world. Chile's government relocated to its Antartican province, and would still hold some islands.

They could be surrounded and sieged in by infected until they starve.

How would they feed themselves?

@@emaarredondo-librarian it depends on the specific location but many are situated near or on hunting grounds, rivers and farm land. Some larger fortifications even have a good amount of open space within their walls. Bamburgh castle is one example of the latter.

@@Komnene165 So, they would have to either go out from the fortress to grow food (which takes considerable time, same as hunting), or grow it inside the fort - and raise cattle and poultry, feeding the animals, what? I highly recommend you to read about the way old fortifications were supplied in the times they were active, there are videos about what ancient soldiers ate - you bet they didn't grow it themselves. I also recommend you to watch videos/read books about self-sufficient agriculture, and how farm animals are raised - and most importantly, how do you kill them and prepare them for eating. If you think going vegan for the occasion, it would be useful to check which produce you can actually grow in your climate (you'll be surprised at how many items are imported), where to get *seeds* in a collapsed society, and how long it take for produce to be ripe for eating. Knowing how to process cereals, oil seeds, canning, pickling and preserving, all of that without any way to buy anything, makes for a course of education much more interesting and potentially useful than a zombies video game. Definitely.

That was one of the plot points in WWZ the book actually

Well, we do know for sure from in game lore that 60% of the world’s population is dead. That means roughly 4.5 billion people. The us only has 330 million. So the rest of the world being unaffected is impossible. But as I mentioned, ND have themselves stated that it’s actually 90% meaning only 750 000 000 people are left on the planet. Now if that means 750 million healthy people or 750 million healthy and infected people is hard to tell. But what’s not is that the rest of the world is definitely as screwed as the US

Since all Europeans and Americans know very well that the Russian Government is very stricted and isolated from the rest of the world.

It would be just unlikely for them to survive. Russia would be the most likely, cold climates, Siberia would covers their back because the mold wouldn't be able to grow in freezing temperatures. Canada would be likely to survive too.

Well I think the measures put in place against a sickness that turns people into mindless monsters would be a bit harsher than what’s happening now. But yeah I guess the fundamentals are the same

@@TheiPadCat "the worst affected countries tend to be the origin of the disease". Today China is one of the least infected, while the US is the worst. Telling, isn't it, how this narrative of blaming those who first discover the infection works... Blame sure doesn't help you deal with it neither. Be funny if China in this world is pretty much unaffected after also stemming the outbreak early on instead of looking for a scapegoat

Gold & Silver VS Crisis & Collapse sorry to burst your bubble but China is most definitely lying about there numbers

@@Sebastian.A nope. Prove it. Go on. You see what you are feeling deep inside is a reflexive sense of patriotism, or hatred for a nation that is far different from your own. Do you really think China can silence a hundred thousand infected families? A million? One moronic doctor tries to start a panic at the beginning and ya'll latch onto him but fail to notice the startling lack of evidence for a coverup

Gold & Silver VS Crisis & Collapse there’s already been countless whistleblowers not sure how you think China works but they’re very good at silencing opinions heck they don’t even allow there own people on American social media websites and do a very good job

The sad thing is, at least regarding Indonesia, that the government probably didn't bombard Jakarta as the lady suggested. The reason I believe this is because knowing how governments in general would react, they would be all like "muh but the economy, surely we can control the spread". And assuming that Jakarta was where the infection started, even bombarding the city wouldn't do much considering they would've already exported contaminated products to other cities and nations.

I mean some places definitely handled it better initially. But what’s interesting w tlou is that those places weren’t necessarily the most heavily and densely populated areas. Boston was arguably the place best off in the entire game but it also happened to be the place (save for Austin) that was the most densely populated prior to the outbreak. And yeah I’d say the same. Unlike something like the walking dead though, the same probably goes for the infected.

@@TheiPadCat Island wouldn't noticed that the outbreak even happened.. lol

I’d love to see what happened to Australia and New Zealand in this game as they super isolated.

the thing with island countries is that when the virus hits u have limited space and no where to run

well usa is quite empty by deafult by seing hom much apart cities are

That's a fact. This channel is just great. Keep the hard work and some time from now you will see amazing results.

The Cordycep outbreak was probably a mild flu that the rest of the world dealt with sensibly and quickly. It mutated and evolved at a rapid rate in the USA due to the massive spread because they believed it to all be a hoax and refused to wear their masks and go to Disney World.

The difference here is that cordyceps is transferred through bites and food, not airborne (other than spore areas). The US has frequent recalls for ecoli, so that would be a big factor. I feel like if people were to see what the virus does on a physical level (rotting eyes, erratic behavior) everyone would believe it. You can't see covid, so it's up for debate to them. Even if you're disabled from it they don't see the proof because well, brain damage is more common than melting eyeballs. A minority of people might just be insane enough to believe essential oils or whatever useless drugs they have will cure it, or they'll pray it away, or purposefully get infected so they'll grow immunity like chicken pox, but they'll die off quickly.

That's what i thought...... but remember USA faced spanish flu VERY WELL (compared to many european countries, considering also that in europa it was the end of a global war), it's NOWADAYS with a stupid leadership that the country is in danger......it doesn't t depend on genetics or what you have, always is people and their behaviors the key of success or unsuccess.... you can have the most advance airplane, but if you put a monkey as a pilot, results will not be great

@@kaitokisser_ actually, you don't see any viruses, so if you don't believe it because you cannot see, that means that you're really stupid and uneducated......so that's how would you describe americans nowadays?? (I would say yes)

Considering when the virus broke out, the USA would have handled it considerably better than you guys hadn’t handled Covid because Obama was still in charge. He put money into WHO and the places that needed support in a pandemic such as this one, like hospitals, third world countries and poorer countries like Africa... he made sure there were enough resources for a pandemic. Trump decimated all of that and pulled all of the funding and groundwork that Obama had put in place.

Could centre around a close unit of characters and you could have missions in various Cities, Paris, Amsterdam, Rome etc Think it'd be pretty cool!

@@JackRabbit002 they wont, UK is even more dense than america and there's almost no guns there, they are at worse position than america.

@@sunshineskystar true, but the UK exports (or did, at the time) mostly flour and sugar (which are implied to be the carriers of the initial mold) from the EU, not from South America; only about 5% of the UK’s flour is exported, and much of their sugar comes from mainland Europe. Also considering it’s an island, in the context of the game, it’s likely the UK would’ve been infected later and probably therefore had a lot more time to prepare, though you’re right in that it would’ve been harder to contain the virus once it had arrived.

I dont think every infected turns into a bloater! Only the ones, where the fungus has a really favourable host for growing... we see many infected just dead and molten into a wall. But yeah for sure there would be more and more of them!

Even with restrictions to keep the number of infected to a minimum that would simply result in riots and protests breaking out (like in real life) so it would all be futile. Literally no one would be chilling except maybe Switzerland, Nepal and ect due to their small population and geography.

Yeah, the reason I didn’t say any others beside Russia and England showed any signs of life is those two are the only ones we can see for sure. Yes many others have signs of people having lived there at one point or another, but for all we know it could be long since abandoned - because we don’t see any humans, electricity nor any other stuff pointing toward people still being there.

Seeing how we handled covid19 I’m sure it would make it in, however the government could relocate to balmoral castle or or an aircraft carrier or even an overseas territory like the Falkland island. So mostly alright.

@@lukemcgahern2357 I agree with you, but also we have to remember there is a lot of strategical places in the British Isles itself, so it’s more likely for the Polish government to relocate to another smaller city less affected (kind of like how America did with Boston)

Well considering the source is questionable to begin with and over 25 years old by the time we find it, it’s hard to confirm whether or not it’s accurate. It’s strange for sure that Seattle was hit so hard and not Vancouver. And I doubt the winters had any effect considering what we see during the winter sections in both games, but who knows.

Abelaid Loera. bruh We can’t even get people to wear masks for the safety of their peers.

@@jacobmoreno9698 time to go to Canada!

Jacob Moreno Just Imagine getting those type of people to wear a gas mask “ItS ToO rEsTriCTiNg AnD TigHT!”

@@jacobmoreno9698 TBH from what I am seeing with Covid, I am far more scared of the government then i will ever be from Covid.

@@thetype97chiha2 yeah but they would just get shot point blank if they got infected. So at least they wouldn't last very long lol

THAT WOULD GO SO HARD. I’m gonna write this

That could be a great game. The Last Of The Burj. Like each mission is a floor and you scavenge for supplies then you have hope when you reach the bottom floor and look outside only to see 100,000s of Zombies. The screen goes dark and you hear a single gunshot!

@@topsdaily_productions yeah but that would have no story and the entire game would be just based in exploiting a small scenario

@@topsdaily_productions it would be so cool if there was a last of us game of ppl around the world and one of the stories/chapters, will be about ppl stuck at the burj

@@Daniel-fx7xv Its possible. Maybe the Burj could be a "town" of sorts with various floors representing a caste of society (top floors are elites and bottom are workers). And there could be an incident where the infected break inside and the main character has to climb to safety where the elites dont want any lower class members inside. It could have a Halo Reach story where the dooms inevitable but it could still work.

@@topsdaily_productions not possible 1 these ain’t zombies 2. Most of them died 3. No

Modern reactors don't work like that at all, an active but abandoned plant would enter a safety shutdown and turn itself off after a short amount of time although in the worst case scenario a "meltdown" still wouldn't spread much radiation

Why do you think so? I mean, I know Portugal isn't a very big country in terms of territory and population size, but I would like to know the specific factors that make you fear that outcome (Military, Health Security, Transportation, etc.). Just to know, of course.

@@gabrielomarturratorres5138 Portugal is in Europe and right there, with Spain, so of course Portugal will be bad, like the rest od Europe, I think New Zeland, Hawaii, Greenland and other islands will be safe.

@@wtfisthis96 Fair point. Kind of sad and tragic when you think about it. I personally don't like to think too much how my country would fare in such scenario, cause I'm pretty sure we would be one of the worst to respond adecuately to it (greetings from Chile 🇨🇱).

Yeah, exactly. I feel like most island would have similar changes. Most Caribbean island, for example, closed the borders very very early and many island still have their borders closed until further notice, like St Kitts and Nevis. In a situation like The Last of Us, the main issue for Caribbean islands wouldn’t be the disease but food shortages and the destruction of the tourism industry

I see the infection couldn’t out pizza the hut

GET YOUR CRISPY TENDER CHICKEN FRIES AT BURGER KING. CRISPY TENDER CHICKEN FRIES

Return of chivalry maybe?

@@lucasfragoso7634 I wish!

Comparing TLOU's cordyceps lethality rate of 100%, to covid's lethality rate of 0.3% (for the most vulnerable) ? I keep hearing from people, more and more that if you get Covid-19 it is pretty much a death sentence, if you get it you better pray because you will most likely not survive it, this is what I keep hearing everyone say.
