However, this restriction will not apply in the event of the occurrence (certified by the United States Centers for Disease Control or successor body) of a widespread viral infection transmitted via bites or contact with bodily fluids that causes human corpses to reanimate and seek to consume living human flesh, blood, brain or nerve tissue and is likely to result in the fall of organized civilization.

It doesn't seem possible to link to 57.10 directly. The word "zombie" also doesn't appear, which made it even harder to understand this submission.

What if it's mediated by a non-viral disease vector, like a bacterium?
This also fails to include multicellular alien parasites. They've really left themselves open here.
Or something like a prion that isn't alive so isn't really an infection?
Technically viruses are not considered "alive" either
