In popular belief, a zombie apocalypse is a form of disease or parasite that infects and controls people. Such is shown in many games or novels. Nowadays, few think of zombies as rising from the graves.

A survivor is simply when someone beats the odds and overcomes hardship. The point I was trying to convey there was that it depends how different people interpret information. It seemed logical to me earlier that being indirectly affected by SARS was enough to say I lived through the panic and situation during the duration of the outbreak.

"Beating the odds" doesn't necessarily mean you have to be infected. Simply being there would have caused many problems.
