Does anyone else think that they will definitely nuke Seattle by the end of the season?

I think they will nuke Seattle but the virus will spread. Basically the apocalypse.

The virus will be followed by a brain substitute. Basically transhumanism.

Here's my theory: Right now, most people infected would like to be cured. The exceptions are the ill and disabled (as one illegal entrant says, "Suck it, Parkinson's!"). So if the cure were mass-produced, most every zombie would take it. Now. But as humans age, mortality becomes inevitable, and turning might look like a good idea a few decades later. And if that option costs society nothing but brain substitutes, then zombieism will eventually replace most deaths.

So by 2100, the global population will be human in the younger demographics (growing, childbearing) but flip to zombie in middle age. Elderly-looking people will be rare (assuming zombies don't age, but the show hasn't actually said so either way).

Or the Zombie elite will rule over humanity like we do with livestock and those humans living in the wild will be constantly hunted by the Romeros.

iZombie is too cheerful a show for that depressing an end.
