Good/Funny read.

Thoughts or disagreements.

I believe there are a few small hole in this.

It does make it seem like it would take a perfect storm for the Zombie Apocalypse to bring the end of the world.

Kind of disappointing.

I read that article a while back when it was originally published. It makes a lot of sense...maybe a little bit too much sense. Maybe thats what the government wants us to believe so we get all fat and complacent and then boom brains for lunch.

I never thought about that: zombies food is their main enemy as well. The only way a zombie apocalypse could happen is if it were an airborne pathogen, and completely caught us with our pants down

reality is always more unpreditcable than hollywood.

There are a couple of scenarios that that would make things difficult: airborne, waterborne, other spread vectors (insects, etc) or something like an extremely short or extremely long incubation period. The virus would either need to spread very fast or emerge with a large "patient 0" group to start.

In most cases the military would end a zombie outbreak within a week, casualty cleanup and all.

So, what is the probability they have already contained multiple zombie outbreaks?

This is actually pretty good news. We might get a solid three weeks of shooting zombies but about the time we start missing television and warm food it would be over.

Sadly, the physiology of most cool monsters just doesn't add up.

At all.
