SCIENCE: When the zombies attack, it will lead to the collapse of civilization unless dealt with quickly and aggressively.
How long will civilization have in a zombie attack? A city with a population around 500,000 will have between three and eight days before irreversible catastrophe. This report is based on a well researched, though fictionalized outbreak of the reanimation of the dead. While an uprising of the dead is highly improbable, it remains that a highly contagious and infectious zombie cause could have similar results.
The report was written by several Mathematicians in Canada, notably Robert J. Smith?, an Austrailian who probably sang backup for ? and The Mysterians. P. Munz, I. Hudea, J. Imad and R.J. Smith? When zombies attack!: Mathematical modelling of an outbreak of zombie infection (PDF)
The researchers chose “classic” slow-moving zombies as our opponents rather than the nimble, fast, and somewhat intelligent creatures portrayed in recent films. “While we are trying to be as broad as possible in modelling zombies – especially as there are many variables – we have decided not to consider these individuals,” the researchers said. This is a fatal flaw in the report, as contagious, “fast” zombies have a 100% chance of happening, over the highly improbably undead.
One should take note on the rising global consciousness of zombies tthrough fear, research, art (through film and literature) and popular culture. Several keen readers and friends have forwarded me the document, and it has been written about on several blogs and has made the news, including the BBC.

I live in the UK and heard this on Radio 4’s Today programme the day before yesterday. They gave the subject at least 10 minutes, which I was frankly amazed, amused and appreciative of!
I was wondering how long it would take you to pick it up. =)
Thanks for reading, Brindy. Keep me posted on any “man-bites-man” stories from the UK.
When an outbreak happens, if we don’t contain it fast and orderly, it will spread beyond our control and civilization as we know it will crumble…”It’s the end of the world as we know it, it’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fiiiiiiiiine.” Contain it like they did in Quarantine, except it might haoppen out in the desert, so, the Quarantine method is worthless there..I wonder what the aftermath of “Quarantine” turned out to be…did they keep sending in biologist/marines that kept getting zombified? did it spread through the sewers, and infect all civilization? Who knows…..

Well i think that if the zombies will be slow like most
“classic” zombie movies humans will have a better
chance of surviving only thing they need is a flash light
a good weapon on there said and they need to keep there
eyes peeled.
yeah my idea of a zombie is definitely the classic slow and stupid kind
it dont matter if its a fast or slow zombie, just be prepared and ready for whatever
hahah, i have to find a news article for shcool and share it, and i found the ultimate one- lady sets herself on fire in mall..why did she do that?
your right, j09. however fast or slow a zombie is, it’s still dangerous.
Did anybody here ever plan for the “progressive” zombie theory.
The one where the undead are fast at first, then as rigormortis sets in they slow down, and then speed back up, until they are rendered immobile from rotting
If zombies end up being very slow with no inteligence gain or anything like that all you need be is alert and you’ll be set. I mean really that easy you may not need much.
yeah but if they are fast and dont lose stamina like humans do than half of america is screwed the other half with eventually die of hunger or something else

ok i love zombie movies and all of that good stuff but them actually being real i have to say its a bunch of bull i mean i read all different kinds of stories about them theyre pretty convincing but not enough im not calling you guys crazy or liars im just saying im not convinced. Is there anything i can read or see that will change my mind?
Well its not the fact that it will happen or is going to happen for sure this site is typically about preparing for the worst evan if you think its bull. but what if this does happen your not prepared what are u going to do. Also preparing for this can help you with other things not just zombies, but lets see if a the great depression happend but it was evan worse than the last one you dont have money nor food or guns and ammo stock piled to hunt you will starve.But us we have guns ammo and food that we were saving for the zombie apacolypse.
