I understand that these Red Zombies do not count when you rolling to spawn (step 3), but... Count toward the number of Zombies on the board? In the page 7 of the core rulebook says: "You can go through any number of Zombies during the game, but you can never have more than 14 Zombies on the board at once.

I assume that the Plague Carriers DO NOT count toward the number of Zombies when rolling to spawn, but DO count toward the number of Zombies on the board at once. In that case, is very difficult to the Zombie Player to protect the Plague Carriers at the start of the game, because only have 7 normal Zombies to protect the rest.

I am right?

Someone who knows the answer?

when we play, the plague carriers do not count towards the number of zombies on the board, so you can have 14 regular zombies plus the red ones. since they can't move unless a hero gets close they aren't really dangerous, if you are careful.

That's my point, it's hard to the ZP defend the red ones with only 7 zombies. Is there an official FAQ about this?
