The zombie virus is a minimizer of potential. The infection is highly contagious and spreads with ease. Symptoms of the virus vary greatly, affecting their hosts in different ways, but all are known to have a negative impact. Some aspects of the infection have been known to lay dormant in their victims, but can be re-animated into action by other carriers of the virus or emotional hardship. The most common signs of the infection include any combination of the following:. In the most insidious way, the zombie virus is a maker of mediocrity — it often causes its host to forget that they were born to be great.
These people were born, grew up, and pursued their budding interest as amateurs — just like everyone else. But they persisted in their drive to refine their skills, hone their unique talents, and fulfill their potential — and that, they did at least in the eyes of others.
Because you are awesome — whether you realize it or not. Note: This is not a comprehensive list. That term generally is saved for those exhibiting only the most acute signs of the infection.
As such, they should always be handled with compassion and in a positive fashion — no matter how severely affected they are. The best offense against zombies and the zombie virus is to set a good example by exhibiting the positive traits of a pirate. The team added two parameters if a person encounters a zombie: the likelihood of a person being bitten and the likelihood of the person being able to kill the zombie.
The blue line is the number of dead zombies. Green is the number of zombies. There's a bump in exposures bottom line at the end, with jagged trajectory in the beginning. The Infectious Disease Modeling Team ran several variations of the models, though, and found there were some ways that humans could slow or stop the zombie invasion, mostly by improving defenses and using better offensive tactics. Realistically, Macal said, running the zombie model might actually help the Infectious Disease Modeling Team in the future, inspiring them to make the model better at finding the best outcome.

Once the infected hordes have breached your protected zone, you have already created a perfect environment for the disease to spread rapidly in a small space. With no treatment option, a selective cull that involves attempting to remove the infected individuals from the population permanently is a tempting option.
But this suffers from the same problems as quarantine. Not only does it require efficient removal of the infected, there also needs to be some diagnostic screening process in hand so that early cases with fewer symptoms can be detected.
This leaves the scariest of the options: eradicate the infected area with a pre-emptive cull, with little to no concern for who, or what, is destroyed in the process. Assuming you could successfully eradicate all of the infected individuals, this might appear the best option. But moral issues remain regarding the heavy losses of uninfected individuals that would also take place. But exploring fictitious zombie-like pandemics also offers an exciting way to discuss infectious disease transmission, prevention and treatment.
