Such a fun topic to talk about...
Lately I have been thinking that what could we really do in such kind of situation? We are constanly facing bacteria, virus, fungi among other microorganisms (even proteins that turn into prions), that could lead to a potential "zombie apocalypse".
The most basic thing to do on TWD world would be surviving. This is where canned food, or non perecible ones are the most useful to have at hand. Perhaps, eventually everything can get out of control... so the most probable thing to do is taken advantage from nature's resilience behavior, which would allow us to gather seeds/stems for harvesting, due to a more fructiferous spread of plants (the reduction of human activity will definitely impact on nature), so our primary source of proteins must be seeds and insects(yes, they are rich on them), unfortunatelly as cellulose is not digested by our digestive tract, some vegetables are not going to provide us high doses of glucose as our main energy source, so we got to harvest tubers, cereals that help us dealing with that. Of course there's no other way than facing the living-dead ones, so better be careful out there. Weapons could be easily made by anything in our surroundings so no rocket science involved on that.
Building a bunker or a fortress must be a priority too, a place in which you at least should be able to sleep without the steady paranoia feeling of being suddenly attacked. At the end of the day, the "new normal life" is going to be a hell of a ride..., but in fact, this won't be the first time we face a sharp stone in our paths...
We got to keep moving. So survive, keep moving and hold on to your beloved ones.
