Zombie Infectee situation where somebody doesn't go into denial,
and perhaps even doesn't keep it secret? That does happen in
some stories, and it's an interesting tactical situation because
now the group has a member who—though they may not be
particularly badass—knows they're going to die and can do a
suicide mission without shortening their life by very much. That
opens up a lot of new strategies. If they'll take, say, six
hours to turn, then they might grab a bunch of explosives, lure
a bunch of zombies into a trap, and set off the explosives—and
there's no need to worry about getting out, because they know
they won't be getting out anyway.  Alternatively, if a suicide
mission isn't going to be useful or their fate isn't known to be
100% sealed, there's the question of what to do with them—tie
them up and wait to be sure, or kill them right then? What if
they've got loved ones who are in denial
