In various zombie threads I have read, people post that they would pwn any zombie that comes their way. Well, I have been watching a few zombie flicks and I have to say, would people really survive something like this ( Also, were talking Insanitarium, 28 Weeks Later type zombies)
Would your sanity be able to stand the relentless screaming and moaning? Would you be able to take watching your love ones become eaten? Would you truly be bale to stay in a house where the family who previously stayed in had committed suicide to avoid a much more violent death?
SO...thoughts?
Probably not because the only possible chances of surviving a scenario like that is to be EXTRAORDINARILY lucky to never be exposed to the virus, or simply have natural immunity by luck of the genes.
Being good with a baseball bat has nothing to do with it, it doesn't matter how many brains you bash in as every contract you have with the infected, even combat, increase your chance of exposure.
My advice, find a renewable/sustainable water source, maybe some food as well, and hole up for As long as possible.
Sargent Who (formerly Doctor Who) was WAY off saying the infected would take one to two months to die if they don't eat. Since if they don't have the sense to eat then they don't have the sense to drink either and will stave to death in 7 days, and that is only if they stay VERY immobile, in the shade and reduce their metabolic water consumption as much as possible.
I can't emphasise enough how vital water is to survival yet at the same time how quickly your body consumes it.
Seriously, that is actually what kills animals infected with late stage rabies, they don't drink ANYTHING in their rage madness and die within 48 hours of the mental degeneration taking hold. If the rage-zombies run around all day in the sun then they will die from a catastrophic heat stroke, heart attack, stroke, and multiple organ failure.
So, considering a rolling rate of infection, you're looking at 7 days Max that you need to hole up, stay quiet and wait for it to all blow over.
Though you know what I am worried about: Darwin.
Given enough chance then natural selection will come into effect, so even if most infected turn into insanely violent with no sense of self preservation, there will very likely be a certain percent, even if only 0.01%, that will be crazy enough to murder everyone they see, yet still the sense to drink, eat and run from danger.
They will be a huge problem.
And even with 0.01% "smart insane" out of a Uk population of 60 million people... that's 6000 very dangerous motherfuckers who might be smart enough to grab a gun off a mauled soldier and go all Columbine killing infected and non-infected alike.
