how will it start?
Jan 4 2009, 12:30 AM EST
first off, the first sightings may differ if its manufactured or mutates from nature. if mutation, it will most likly start in a rural area and the first few victoms may just say they were attack by an animal or a crazy. if manufactured it will most likly start in a high population zone like new york LA or another location as such. the mutant will take over a small town, then survivors and infected carriers will flee to the surrounding areas and cause the virus to infect more and more areas. first attempts will most likely be local law enforcement, civilians or both, and will almost certaintly fall. the manufactured will possibly have the first vics taken to a hospital where the virus will spred from there and take over the city, and like wise from above on the infection spreding through infected not yet turned who fleed in search of a cure and fail. also the cover ups or news reports may differ. the mutated virus may be reported as random and brutal killings or disappearances. the manufactured will be classified as an existing disease without mention of reanimation. also a government cover up will be easier in a city than a small town because small towns are tightly woven and news would travel faster than the cover up. in a city were word of mouth takes a back seat to news outlets, the majority will hear the cover up first and think the truth is a hoax. thats all for now.

Wouldn't a mutation be more likely to happen in a densely populated area, just due to the number of people that could serve as pre-mutant carriers?

would highly doubt it, at least from what I've been lead to believe about most diseases these days. the majority of the time they are brought from low pop dens areas to the highers ones because they mutate in nature and not in industrial areas. once again this is simply my knowledge, if it is wrong, then please feel free to correct me.

From what I have learned in my limited research on infectious disease mutation is possible in a host. That being said if humans are the host and victim of this disease then it seems more likely that a major population center would show signs first due to the higher number of hosts for mutation to occur in. Just a thought.

its already been stated but new diseases come from low populated ares example would be a rain forest isolated parts of a desert maybe just a guess on the desert and virus mutate in highly populated ares where they can travel fast between people and sometimes animals

Well if it comes from Animals in start in a low populated area, like a Farm!

"From what I have learned in my limited research on infectious disease mutation is possible in a host. That being said if humans are the host and victim of this disease then it seems more likely that a major population center would show signs first due to the higher number of hosts for mutation to occur in. Just a thought."HIV and Staph are two examples of diseases mutating in the host. When a disease or infection becomes resistant to antibiotics it has mutated and when they go from air-borne to blood-borne that is also a mutation. People with AIDS who continue to dork other people with AIDS can get a super-infection which is just a nasty mutation. Viruses are smart and they do what they need to in order to survive. People wouldn’t stand a chance unless you got to a rural area and managed to avoid crowds. With that said I think there is a disease out there and all we need to do is find it by accident. The more undisturbed areas we destroy the more we release these diseases (HIV, Ebola, Marburg, etc…) I just saw something about a “zombie caterpillar” it had been “killed” by some other bug I forget what and basically re-animated to protect the eggs of the other bug. If that changes and jumps to humans we have Z-Day, granted that viruses that do one thing in an animal don’t always do the same to humans but I bet it’s out there just waiting for our dumbasses to stumble over it.
