Still better off than the rest of the continent, even with the quake damage.

That's probably the worst. A big disaster occurring in a zombie apocalypse. That would mean people would be stuck in the rubble or their homes since rescue services are non-functioning. Happened in the Philippines in October 15, 2013 when a big one struck Bohol. In OTL, the damages were quickly repaired within a span of a year or two. In this TL, it would probably be repaired by the 2023 onwards.
I forget; was a wound inflicted by a zombie or transplant from an infected body the only way solanum was transmitted?
Because if it's like Notld, all the dead and dying are gonna endanger whoever's left.
In Zombie Survival Guide we’re told the dead (ha) zeds should still be treated as highly dangerous and disposed of with the utmost care. But we also see people successfully fight them in hand to hand combat and walk away without getting infected despite being covered in blood. So take your pick.
Yeah my memory was fuzzy about how the living turned and whether or not uninfected corpses would reanimate.
Patient Zero was never identified or studied. Just that poor kid who was bitten by it and the villagers he infected.
An earthquake is bad enough, but, what remained of nuked Iran and Pakistan must have been a nearly unimaginable hell.

According to the Zombie Wiki which details Max Brook's universe, zombie fluids can still infect people if it enters the mouths, nose, eyes, ears, and open-wounds. Surprisingly, eating zombie flesh will kill the person rather than reanimate except if the person has sores in their mouth (i.e. the story of the Russian Cossacks in ZSG that cooked a zombified corpse).
According to the Wiki as well, if a bitten person commits suicide without using brain injury (i.e hanging themselves or drinking pills), the Solanum virus will still reanimate the corpse.
Patient Zero is implied to be a PLA bioweapons experimental test subject. Remember, it was the Soviets that got the plans of Operation Cherry Blossom from the IJA during their invasion of Manchuria in 1945. Before the Sino-Soviet Split of the 1960s, the Soviets shared this intel with the Chinese Communists. The PRC somehow got the idea of using zombies as bioweapons, probably in an event of a WWIII with either the USSR/Russia, India, or the United States. It is no doubt the PLA dumped those zombies in the flooded area of Three Gorges Damn, explaining how the kid got bitten in the dark murky waters while his father was never seen again when they were moonfishing for sunken heirlooms.
Speaking of natural disasters occuring in a zombie apocalypse, here's one from Resident Evil: Extinction which mentions about a hurricane hitting Florida during the Global T-Virus Pandemic (After: Chapter 14)
So even natural disasters that were merely a nuissance before the pandemic are now something as bad because resources are shifted to fighting the zombies.
It was mentioned that radioactive zombies roam the wastelands of Iran and Pakistan. While these zombies aren't mutant zombies like those in Resident Evil, what makes them dangerous is that those who fight them in melee combat might be exposed to radiation.

PMA cadets in formation after Baguio City was cleansed of zombies to become the temporary war-time capital of the Philippines. During the Great Panic, the Philippine Military Academy was fortified by cadets utilizing whatever weaopns they could find, ranging from the M16, M1 Garand, M14, and the M1903 rifle. To save ammunition, bayonets were used while combatting zombies from trenches. The PMA would then become the temporary headquarters of the Department of National Defense much throughout the war.

Tilbury Fort
Tilbury Fort, Essex, pre-war.
At the time of the Great Panic Tilbury was still open as a tourist attraction, however as the Panic spread the Fort closed. At the time it was hosting a major WW2 re-enactment group, and while some left to try and reach their families many stayed knowing they would never make it as the government shut down roads, rail and even air. The English Heritage staff, and re-enactors where also joined by locals escaping the chaos overtaking London. Only a month into the chaos the Fort shut its doors to more people, already at capacity.
The fort had undergone major renovations over the 10 years before and its defences had been recreated to Napoleonic glory, however knowing they would be in for a siege the defenders barricaded the road beyond the World’s End pub and to the west along the Thames. Anyone staying in the Fort had to work – guarding or tending to the farming going on in the parade grounds.
Unlike the Tower of London or Fort George, Tilbury was not an active military installation in those early months many mistakes were made, and supplies wasted esp. on fuel and ammo. In this early period Tilbury would be tested multiple times not only by the London Z’s but by scavengers trying to get in/pillage. After six months ammo was getting very low, and an appeal was put out to the surviving UK military. It took three months to get a response, but an airdrop of supplies was made along with a Corporal Gerkan who helped establish military procedure.
A year in and with London largely empty trips were made to the local towns for supplies. In one a Lt Baker was able to secure a load of undelivered solar panels. A boat was also procured which allowed travel to Gravesend across the Thames. As year two progressed battles/raid/long period of inactivity became the pattern.
In year five a major influx of zombies nearly saw the Fort overrun due to lack of preparedness, but the WW2 artillery pieces and even some of the canon made the difference and the horde was turned. Extensive drilling on head-shots had worked, even if the reaction had nearly doomed them.
Tilbury became part of the UK ‘hot zones’ but due to its more isolated location and extensive defences a lot of the action missed the Fort. When the UK navy sailed up to relive the Fort during Operation: Clearance they found a disciplined, well-run operation. The Fort would become the springboard for retaking Tilbury docks, and the wider Essex area.
All the surviving inhabitants were recognised by Parliament and Monarch for the efforts post- war.
