First of all Zombies would move in herds in every direction not just north. Also is the virus able to jump species? The infected could have gotten on ships and are randomly sailing throughout the world. Same thing with airports. Did we find the origin of the outbreak fast enough to stop its spread? Probably not. What about organ donors? What happens if people were infected before anyone noticed the outbreak. Those parts go to anywhere on the planet and allow the spread of the plague. Given the time span between people turning it is possible for many infected organs to spread the virus to different areas. You are under the impression that greed hasn't gotten a hold of mankind. Most people finding the organ donors are in it for the money especially in the less fortunate areas like slums and such.
To assume that the outbreak hasn't spread past the border by now is ignorant and will end up getting everyone killed. What happens, for example, if we get our little group to head north under the assumption that the outbreak is behind us. Meaning we wont be looking for it in front of the group. As in if there is a herd already there and we just notice it they could swarm us. Sure a few characters may live but with the little girl and other females in the group... how many men will allow them to die? This is where my character would probably die because he tried to save someone. All because we weren't paranoid enough.
My character will end up explaining this in game just so everyone feels comfortable. He will also mention that the group will need supplies. He has a generator at his house that runs on different fuels and a battery converter. Although that is like two blocks from where they are. Also he has some archaic weapons... lots of knives. Sadly he doesn't have any guns although he does have his concealed carried permit.
