Sorry for the delayed response. In all seriousness yes, the infection scenarios presented in L4D and 28 days/weeks later, from a conceptual stand point, are absolutely possible. Of course, they are movies and video games so yes there are fantasy elements but it's interesting that L4D and 28DL don't laughably push one into the relm of supernatural, unlike Zombie movies. Do they walk the fine line between what's possible and not, hell yeah. But the fact that there are so many story elements unexplained more than makes up for any far-fetch'dness. Once again, I am restating the obvious but I hope you understand that for these reasons, I thoroughly enjoy looking at the L4D story as fact (even though it isn't) and building plausible explanations from there. This has been the primary focus for the vast majority of my contributions to this wiki. I said all of that just to say yeah, I have no idea where the hell the smoker, jockey, or spitter came from. Seriously, the long tongue? An infected midgit? A infected girl that spits instead of swallows? Yeah, no way.
