Zombie Apocolypse

The mo'fos who think they're elite with their ammunition and lack of feeling will eventually run out of supplies, and so on.

I'd probably head up north, where it's cold, then wait it out, if not, shambling around eating brains is basically the same shit I do when I'm alive, just replace brains with tacos, a fetus, or what you guys call food.

Im with you on that one man, Although, i think the animal instinct would come out to, survive. Simply put..healthly fit and intelligent people survive everyone else is food. The only in betweens is those top dogs whom choose to help the fat stupid dregs of society. I say...,let it all burn and we can start over in a a utopia of peace love and health. 😮‍💨

They weren't zombies from either the hypnotized/drugged or undead/living dead sense.

THEY WERE LIVING HUMANS INFECTED WITH A VIRUS. Might as well call Magic Johnson a zombie.

They were humans who were doomed to death, lost their higher brain functions, and were raging meat bags: zombies.

Suck it.

Are you guys talkin about the 28 days later infected? They aren't really zombies. They're infected people with super rabies. Sooner or later they die from hunger.

Like when Tarantino met Nightmare City director Umberto Lenzi he brought him a bottle of wine and told the waiter to tell him it was his favorite zombie movie. Lenzi jumped out of his chair and screamed THE WEREN'T ZOMBIES THEY WERE INFECTED PEOPLE!!!!

Hahaha, even then, man. For the strong to survive, that means the strong men would have to find strong women to bring about alpha-dawg kids. With baby-making, love has to come in the picture, love's a weakness in a zombie apocalype. Everyone would have to turn into a rapist. That'd be quite the planet we got ourselves when space zombies arrive and are all: "So, this planet is 50% rapists, 50% zombies?? Everyone back in, we're leaving."

Vroom.

^^That's what my spaceships sound like.

Infected humans, bro.

It'd get stuck in my teeth.

Infected humans with the loss of higher brain functions that bite other humans which turns the bitten ALSO into...drum roll....zombies.

Like I said, he can complain all he wants: they are still zombies. 🙂

(1) infection through biting isn't constrained to zombies, if it were we would have to call anyone with rabies a zombie IRL

(2) loss of higher brain functions is definitely closer, but the same can be said of someone infected with rabies in the advance stages. Or really any sufficiently powerful fever.

(3) doomed to death? Pfft. Same with rabies again. Though it's generally coma then death. The cause of death though in the case of the Infected is starvation...something that could happen to any person, it's not so far as we know a result of the virus

So...yeah...

What isn't comparable to rabies? Rising from the grave or getting mind controlled by magic voodoo powder. There you go.

You're just being argumentative for the sake of being argumentative.

Zombie = Living Dead/Undead/Walking Dead etc etc. DEAD.

I used to be the undead... until I took an arrow in the braaaiiiins.

apoclyptic proportion is very likely but not on our lifetime

first 2 hours of infection the zombie can run and infect others. because rigor mortis has not set in just yet.
after 2 hours laps. rigor mortis sets in so they are now slow walking zombies.

Virus spreads like wildfire. Like AIDS/HIV. Influenza.

and microbiology nature of virus is that it mutates. so Zombie virus can mutate from madcow disease/rabies/ or any other neurological virus such as meningitis.

we cant even contain flu and hiv/aids. what makes you think that our govt. or military can contain zombie virus

It'd likely be contained and dealt with fairly early, not like the movies.

Of course if the zombies were runners they'd be a bit more dangerous, but still, would be dealt with fairly well, I think.

The only way I can see a zombie epidemic growing to apocalyptic proportions is if it occurred in multiple areas of the earth at once.

Zombies will not be the only issue to contend with. Infection can also spread through contaminated water, eatables, insects, and animals. And if the virus is airborne then the fate of humans is pretty much sealed.

(2) zombies are a lot more obvious than AIDs patients

Which MMA moves would you employ against a zombie if you had to take one H2H?

I've always felt that, of the standard types of zombies, only the Romero rules stand much of a chance of wiping out humanity. If it has to spread by fluids it can be contained. World War Z does a good job of explaining how a zombie infection could pass borders but I think the Battle of Yonkers effectively proves how difficult it is for slow zombies to beat humans (given that the whole chapter is about the ridiculous things the military had to do in order to lose).

we have twitter/twitpics, youtube and facebook and even 8 year olds these days have cellphones; as soon as people started chomping down on each other, the news would spread way fast for it to become a worldwide issue. It would never get to millions of people before we knew about it.

I live in Winnipeg, Canada... worst case scenario, the outbreak is over in 8 months (if the zombies don't rot during our 30+ degree summers)... in theory, there is a brief window in spring/fall where it would be possible for the outbreak to spread. Widespread infection would need to be almost instantaneous.

Cracked covered it well:

If the virus was dormant in every human waiting for the body to die and animated every corpse present at the time of "infection", that could be a feasible way a Z-Apoc could happen.
