I am putting this in politics because I feel like a zombie apocolypse is more than just some horror fiction that could never happen. I feel, and call me crazy if you must, it is plausible what with our obsession with diseases and nuclear war (at least in American culture) whose to say the next Swine Flu could be the Zombie virus?
Scientist have said that if their was a zombie outbreak, the likelyhood that humanity will survive is actually slim to none. Be it the fast zombies circe 28 Weeks Later, or the classic slow moving Night of the Living Dead zombies. Either way, they say we are screwed. But scientist say a lot of things.
When pondering the idea of a zombie war, I don't want you to think purely how awesome it would be, but think about the politics that go into fighting a war such as this. This isn't like other wars were you are fighting a fleshy enemy who is, relatively, easy to kill. Who has fear and and emotions. Who needs food and water to live, and air to breathe. In reality, humans are pretty easy to kill.
Zombies? Not so much.
Zombies don't need to be fed. They do not feel anything. They do not retreat. They do.not.stop. And there are thousands of them. In my opinion, it would be impossible to sucessfully contain a zombie virus, especially in the early stages no matter where you are living.
I won't go into too much detail in my opinion on this matter, since I don't want to influence others. I want YOUR opinion on how your goverment (or the major and minor goverments out there) would handle a Zombie investation, they techniques, and how you think the zombie virus could even come to be.
Note to Mods: If you feel like this doesn't belong in politics, feel free to move it. I just felt like it belongs somewhere other than, IDK, supernatural or one of thsoe forums, because I am asking people to take a realistic outlook on this.
