I got home last night and started the new season this morning at home. Finished it this afternoon.
Again, like season one, I’m unfamiliar with the video game and whatever other content is out there. So I’m watching it for what is and have no clue if it follows the source material.
The season immediately picks up from the events at the end of season one. Then immediately jumps forward 5 years to 2029.
New characters and factions are introduced. The season moves away from Jackson Hole, WY. to Seattle, WA. A new type of infected is introduced and new revelation is discovered on the transmission of the virus.
A somewhat unexpected plot twist with Joel happens.
The season leaves off looking like it will continue in Seattle following Abby.
After 15 years of navigating what he describes as a “war zone” of illegal activity a restaurateur in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside says it may be time to give up on the area.

I don't miss working in the area (just over 20 years ago). Things were too unpredictable / unsafe.
The general consensus is that way more needs to be done, but at this point it just seems like things are out of reach with thousands of people caught up.
That said - credit to the organizations doing their part to help. Lookout Society, Union Gospel Mission, Venture, and many more. It's honest, hard work & people are doing their best to help make a difference ...
