CDC Recommends Preparing for All Disasters -- Even Zombies
    #14481240 -

i was under the assumption that the zombie apocalypse could never happen
:shrug:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ac/20110518/us_ac/8495307_cdc_recommends_preparing_for_all_disasters__even_zombies

Normal natural disasters are floods, tornadoes, hurricanes and earthquakes and being prepared for disaster means being ready for any type of emergency -- including zombies. On Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention blogged about preparing for disaster and reminded readers that in the event of a zombie apocalypse, basic preparedness will help even if there are flesh-eaters roaming.

The CDC recommends that planning ahead for zombies is really no different than preparing for other types of disaster. The same basic principles apply.

Planning ahead for any type of disaster or emergency requires the same basic items: Food (nonperishable of course) and water (one gallon per day per person), medications (both over the counter and prescription medications), tools and supplies (basic stuff like utility knives, duct tape, radio, flashlights, batteries, etc.), sanitation and hygiene (soap, shampoo, bleach, feminine products, towels and lots of toilet paper), clothing and bedding (extra clothes for every family member, blankets), important documents (copies of birth certificates, social security cards, driver's licenses, insurance cards, etc.), first aid supplies.

As with any other emergency, in the event of zombies you should have an emergency plan that includes evacuation plans and a safe place to get away from the zombies.

According to the CDC blog, if a zombie apocalypse breaks out, the CDC will investigate the event just like they would any other disease outbreak. CDC investigation and assistance would include "consultation, lab testing and analysis, patient management and care, tracking of contacts, and infection control (including isolation and quarantine)." Just like any other disease outbreak, the CDC would try to determine where and how the outbreak started and would make every effort to determine how to best deal with an outbreak of zombies.

Learning the source of the infection would include discovering if a virus or toxin caused the outbreak and if there is any treatment or cure.

The CDC encourages citizens to be prepared for any emergency event--whether it is zombies or the more common hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and earthquakes. Emergency planning for zombies will also suffice in the event of such natural disasters but as always the CDC urges everyone to be ready for whatever might a hazard and disruption of our daily lives.

It is good to know the CDC is willing to take the time to address the concerns of the public rather than scoff at the idea of a zombie apocalypse. Even more so, anyone who is prepared to face zombies is ready to deal with whatever Mother Nature chooses to throw their way, so it's all good.

This is kinda weird. As mush as I love zombie books/games/movies, I think its stupid to warn of a fictional disaster.

People get all paranoid about stupid shit as it is.

I am hard pressed to believe this is as real it looks. Maybe this was taken out of context by yahoo news or something. Why the hell would the CDC seriously even entertain the idea?

That's pretty cool. They put a lighthearted twist on what would otherwise be a pretty grim project.

It's actually not as far fetched as you might think.  Well, the walking dead aspect is, but we even discussed in biology class the possibility that the rabies virus could one day evolve the ability to survive outside of the body.  Or it could possibly be engineered that way.  It could cause a rabies epidemic that could be spread like the common cold.

I think everyone has heard the rabies theory. regardless, the people wouldn't be zombies.

For me to call an infected individual a zombie I think the thirst for flesh is required.

I am aware rabies causes violent outbreaks and makes the person basically insane, not really a zombie.

I'm not saying some kind of virus that causes a realistic zombie is impossible, its just extremely unlikely. so much so its probably something we shouldn't be too worried about this century.

Who knows, fungi bacteria and viruses can effect behavior alot, especially insect mold/fungi that you don't hear a lot that seem to cause ants and other insects to act in very specific ways in order to further its purpose (reproduction)... if the agent could be transmitted through saliva would not biting other animals/people be a good way to spread it? :awesome:

Zombie creation Tek

Cordyceps fungus engeneered for humans

a virus genetically engeneered to carry miracle fruit genes so when infected your taste buds are changed

so there you have it, a zombie thats willing to eat people and eventually will grow horns, die, and spread the disease
