If this were a rolling zombie plague then you would think that someone big in the government would sterilize it. Minimally they would tell people to keep away, have a cover story, contain it, etc.

It is your story but consider it. I will look at it more closely later. I am going at it from a neurodegenerative disease kind of outbreak, they aren't exactly zombies, their brains just fall apart from within ala BSE or CJD kind of dieases.

What happens in the outside world? none of our concern, but it's safe to say that the town is contained, as the narrator mentions "it seems like we'd been cut off from the rest of the world; nobody has come from out-of-town for weeks now and none of us could the authorities for just as long."

The whole story is a punch to Chronic wasting disease, which seems to go by unattented by anyone... it's just there... and no one cares.
