In their desperation to control the spread of the virus, some governments opted to use nuclear weaponry on heavily infected areas of their own countries. Nuclear countries also received requests from their non-nuclear neighbors to target areas within their countries as well. All their efforts were futile. The virus and the infected continued to spread.
On the North American continent Canada's military and main government was overrun quicker than anyone would have believed possible. In desperation, the citizens who were unable to be evacuated requested the nuclear bombing of Toronto, Montreal, Portland, Halifax, Saint John, and Kingston from their American neighbors. With great regret, America answered their pleas and nuked the cities. Despite the sacrifice, it did little to nothing to help them.
In it's own country, America tactically nuked Philadelphi and Harrisburg PA, Houston TX, Phoenix AZ, Seattle WA, Atlanta GA, Jacksonville and Orlando Fla, San Francisco and San Diego CA were all nuked.
In Mexico the US military nuked Mexico City, Tijuana, Chichuahua, and Zapopan, at the request of the Mexican government. As with Canada, it was a futile attempt.
Despite the devastation caused by the nukes, the infection continued to spread. Around the world, countless people died by fire and radiation, and still the number of infected grew.
Now, where people once found cities, they often find radioactive wastelands. Places better skirted around, rather than passed through. If they must be passed through, it's best to do it quickly, and have a radiation detector to help avoid the most heavily contaminated areas.
Between the radiation levels in some areas, acid rain clouds, and the infected, some wonder how anyone has managed to survive so far, or if humankind will ultimately fall to this new hostile world he must now call home.

Hidden away around the continent are shelters for survivors. They vary in type and size. Some serve as temporary stops. Others are more permanent. With the collapse of government, each is controlled by a different group. Some more civilized than others.
Shelters in the remaining cities are usually set up on the higher floors, with the ground level being sealed and all access to the above floors sealed. It's well known the infected are very poor climbers. The higher one can get, the safer they will be from attack.
Rural areas have opted more for walls and ditches filled with water, or islands in the middle or lakes and rivers. Shipping containers have found a new life. Stacked in a L formation, two wide on the bottom and two high on the outside, they become a formidable barrier against attack. Some have also dug the ground in front of the shipping container wall and filled the lower, outer containers with the dirt. The ditch is then filled with water or some other form of defense, such as long spikes.
Not all shelters are open to all people. Some are community based, and open only to people of their community. Others, may allow a person to visit for a time for a price, usually items of trade their group can use to better their own survival.
