My prediction would be something along the Last of Us video games. The federal government does what little they can before they eventually dissolve, people would form their own giant walled up communities, the economy would be a mixture of barter and trade and collective farming.

My friend and I were selling zombie apocalypse insurance last year, offering magnificent deals, and absolutely no one bought any.
They're sorry now.

Probably something along the lines of WWZ (book). Apparently the army liked it enough to invite Max Brooks to give input on dealing with a major crises.

It all depends on what kind of zombies they are. Fast, slow, how violent/aggressive, how far removed from normal human consciousness, what causes the underlying sickness (virus, parasite, toxin, etc), how is it transmitted and how fast. The whole thing is wide open until we know exactly what's in play.

I think Last of Us and World War Z zombies are the only ones that would result in an ELE. They're fast and either adapt quickly or are tough to kill (Those bloaters are nightmare fuel).
The Walking Dead zombies are easy to kill and could be hoarded together. The way to kill them should be evident pretty quickly, and we would just have different methods of disposing of dead people (Basically shoot them in head ASAP). I wouldn't even worry about a cure.
Of course, if that idiot Trump is president, we would be doomed by anything. He'd probably tell use to eat one of them.

Something kind of like World War Z. Some nations will respond swiftly and others will waste precious time. The zombie horde may not be totally eradicated though, they may retreat to the bottom of the ocean. Criminals and petty tyrants will establish small but powerful border states between surviving major powers. Religious extremism will aid the rise of theocracies whilst militant nationalism may become the norm in the West.

If we tested less people the number of zombie infections would go down, you can't argue with that logic!"
