it would be air born. or by direct contact H7N9 is a virus that is by direct contact if it becomes air born??? www.cdc.gov... the flu is air born or direct contact www.cdc.gov... as we become more dependent on live virus to fight virus like the flu we are opening the door for such an event, would it be like 28 days or i am Legend, that is to say a man-made virus originally created to cure, may result in mutants created by the virus. with no known cure.
Solanum begins to transform the host from human into a zombie once it is introduced into the body. Through means not yet fully understood, the virus uses the cells of the brains' frontal lobe for replication, destroying them in the process. Once the brain is infected, all bodily functions (including function of the heart and lungs) cease, and all trace of personality, individualism, mercy and according to many, humanity, is irrevocably lost. The viral incubation period is variable, with some turning rapidly (most common in bite victims) and others not showing symptoms for a significant period.
Combined with the ability to spread via non-obvious means such as open cuts and not just clearly visible bites, this necessitates the careful screening of individuals before allowing them into safe zones. The transformed brain does continue some minor activity, as the zombie will reanimate and hunt and consume anything it identifies as living. Its preferred prey is humans, choosing to chase a fast human over any animal that it might catch more easily. Some bodily functions remain constant, others operate in a modified capacity, and the remainder shut down completely, which is why zombies are commonly referred to as the living dead.
The virus mutates each infected cell into a sort of organ, independent from every other cell, and the physiological tasks it once performed for the human. They also produce a great deal of oxygen, which circulates throughout the body. By removing the need for oxygen, the undead brain can utilize, but is in no way dependent upon, the complex support mechanism of the human body. The energy source of the zombie remains a baffling mystery to science, as a zombie will continue moving indefinitely without food, water, or rest.
Even when a zombie does "consume" an organism, solanum cells do not draw energy from the flesh like living cells would. The flesh merely remains in the digestive tract of the zombie until it rots, or newer flesh presses the human remains out of the anus (or if the zombie has torso wounds, a rupture in the abdomen)

This is not the Zombi of voodoo this is based on a virus spread infection , could be very real , one that would trigger the desire to eat raw flesh, and act on chem make up of a human much like steroids do. enhance Epinephrine (also known as adrenaline or adrenalin) to give one Superhuman Strength and speed, to kill the never ending so one would feel no pain, enhance sight smell hearing.
Do you not think that DARPA is working on Such a drug to give to solders.
An air borne rabies could do it, make man kind rabid
WOW could make some new anti virus that mutates.

World War Z is a great book (haven't seen the movie yet, but the book is awesome). However even in that description there are still several things that it just says are unexplained, read: "magic." Also cells that constantly produce oxygen? That defies the laws of physics. Where is it obtaining the materials to produce the oxygen? What about the energy to do this. It's obviously not coming from the humans the zombie eats, because the description says that these things can survive indefinitely without food and anything it does eat just rots in its stomach or gets pushed out by more food.
So while it does cover up some of the gapping plot holes in zombie pandemic movies, it still leaves much of the science up to "magic." i.e. just as unlikely as any other scenario presented by any other zombie pandemic movie.
Zombies ignore dead flesh. While they do continue to consume their prey until it is horribly mutilated, they would pass a fairly fresh corpse that it had not been hunting, even if the body is preserved (such as a heart attack victim). Likewise, experiments where Solanum is introduced directly into the frontal lobe of a corpse dead only minutes show that Solanum only reacts with living cells. Therefore Solanum does not create "life"- it alters it, and any attempt to use it to reanimate the dead is futile.

I don't call a bio lay down a zombie attack.If you have protection you live.Also most virulent agents die off pretty quickly in UV light aka sunlight also wind directions,concentration agents that are keeping it persistant and keeping it from dispersing too fast.What is the delivery system?
A jet spray a bomb? If its a bomb it will be a short lived event,unless it is a spacific chemical to cause some kind of neurologic effect.
