She's not really sure if she believes it would. Like, for a whole state? A country? She can't even imaging living people existing in such numbers. The Infected far outnumber the living, even with new people being born and growing up. It's not like all of them get to grow up. It was only by weird freaky miraculous chance she didn't die at fourteen. Well...not only chance. Joel made a choice to save her, too.

"I guess people just fucking suck no matter what we do."
