Everyday living turns into chaos, no more 9-5 job you are living for your survival at this point. Going out in public is not an option, those that have the terminal disease see the ones not infected as the enemy and they start attacking them.
Is this a possibility in this day, I would say yes.

There is this form of a virus called a Prion that can cause traditional zombie-esque symptoms. Uncoordinated movement, highly aggressive nature, can't really think at a high level, so one would only follow basic level instincts, like attacking and eating everyting.
Zombies coming back from the dead and devouring the human race, not so much, but a biological weapon, or natural, but yet undiscovered disease, probably a lot more possible than you would really want to think about.
