Monroe Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 It's good to know that good money is being spent to find these things out ! They say if the zombies are on the East Coast then head West ASAP ... Cornell Researchers Find Safest Place to Hide from Zombies February 25, 2015 http://www.foxnews.com/science/2015/02/25/cornell-researchers-find-safest-place-to-hide-from-zombies/?intcmp=latestnews If a zombie outbreak were to strike US shores, East Coasters should head west ASAP. That recommendation comes by way of Cornell University researchers, who have modeled the statistical mechanics of, yes, zombies and will present their findings at a meeting of the American Physical Society on March 5 in San Antonio. The researchers used a number of techniques that are used when modeling real diseases, and the abstract ends with this dismal line: "We build up to a full scale simulation of an outbreak in the United States, and discover that for 'realistic' parameters, we are largely doomed." But Phys.Org relays a glimmer of hope by way of Alex Alemi, a grad student involved in the research: He says those who want to remain safe from the undead for as long as they can should head to the northern Rockies. He explains that while books and movies typically show an outbreak touching all corners of the country immediately, "in our attempt to model zombies somewhat realistically, it doesn't seem like this is how it would actually go down." Yes, major cities could be toast within days, but less populated areas could be unaffected for weeks, and the northern Mountain Time Zone could be safe for months. "Given the dynamics of the disease, once the zombies invade more sparsely populated areas, the whole outbreak slows down—there are fewer humans to bite, so you start creating zombies at a slower rate," says Alemi. "I'd love to see a fictional account where most of New York City falls in a day, but upstate New York has a month or so to prepare." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I like better the conclusions of a known paper on the matter:https://web.archive.org/web/20090701000000*/http://www.mathstat.uottawa.ca/~rsmith/Zombies.pdf In summary, a zombie outbreak is likely to lead to the collapse of civilisation, unless itis dealt with quickly. While aggressive quarantine may contain the epidemic, or a cure maylead to coexistence of humans and zombies, the most effective way to contain the rise ofthe undead is to hit hard and hit often. As seen in the movies, it is imperative that zombiesare dealt with quickly, or else we are all in a great deal of trouble. jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) I don't know if this would completely work against zombies ... I posted this link in another topic but it may be of some use ... if the zombies are scattered. A huge mass of zombies would probably be a problem. From Amazon for $20,000 ...

ROTS Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) Meanwhile the US government wants to have people sign up for an sex offenders list for people owning certain weapons...like the big ones used to tame zombies. Then there was the purposely for the lessen loadable guns. That is so stupid to have an outbreak of any sort is dumb. If so I blame the same idiots who created AIDS. I mean thanks to fictional garbage like "Wayward Pines" and all kinds of nonsense. There is no Zombie outbreak, if so the government is doing it on purpose. It would be stupid to think so about such things at all. Edited July 24, 2015 by ROTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
