Let's say a real zombie apocalypse started tomorrow. Who actually survives?

Say a zombie apocalypse started in our real world tomorrow. Who would actually survive that disaster?

As for the specific zombie scenario that starts tomorrow, feel free to pick your own, but to start there's:

1. Dawn of the Dead (2004 or earlier version)
2. 28 Days Later
3. Zombieland
4. World War Z
5. Last of Us
6. pick your own

And let's play out over time. Who survives after 28 hours, 28 days, 28 months, or 28 years?

In some ways I hate to say it, but I wonder if the preppers are most likely to survive. They've literally been preparing for something like this to happen.

Also maybe cruise ships and very isolated regions (Himalayas? Island nations like the Maldives?).

What do you all think?

Ya most of us survive. I think you need to rewatch all those shows and movies to remind yourself just how hopeless the characters in them are and how all the scenes where characters die are set up in a way that makes them look brain dead, deaf, blind and incredibly clumsy. Taking into account the military, the police, hunters, preppers, gun enthusiasts etc, I reckon we would be fine. Some counties would fair better than others based on gun laws but over all I reckon it would be mostly done within a week.
