You could just check people who are entering the base for any marks.

"Not if there are strict regulations about checking for bites.really you only need to check people who are new arrivals and who have been out scavenging. otherwise I would say a once over at the end of every week or every other by a Medic as there's a really low chance of infection if you haven't come in contact with the infected but its good to check periodically anyway, and quarantine thous injured on the outside for an amount of time(relative to how log it takes to tern given the injury) prior to allowing them free roam of the compound again.

The hard part would be finding out the incubation time for the infection. If it takes two hours or so after being bitten to turn, you could just quarantine anybody who enters for a few hours and you should be fine.

Though if it was a day or more you would need to devise another method, quarantining everyone for days would be pretty inefficient.

okay, i know that this is improbable, but if possible i think that anybody in or very near to colorado would have the best chance of survival at NORAD military base.

You would be right, it is very improbable because the facility contains missiles and the like. As for checking and quarantining...morale would sink if someone you were all friends with was quarantined or declared unclean. It would be better to just not take the chance, and if they were infected, kill them. How sardonic.

That could work, but if it's power supplies fail can you manually operate a door? Also, if the infection infiltrated the base, it would be a bloodbath.

I suppose it's a personal oppion, but I'd rather not take the chance. Myself and family and close friends will be isolated in the Appalachian Mountains, or the Rockies. Whichever we are closest to in the event of a large scale outbreak (Class 2+) And again, the NORAD site's personel would probably be ordered to keep you out, at least to keep you out until society breaks down, but I know that is up for a debate. Which I will not be participating in. Do you find this valuable? |

Good for you. My only issue with NORAD would be getting sealed in if the generators failed. However, if there's a manually operatable door then go for it.

if you had a base and were quarantining peaple anyways why not quarintine the infected almost zombie ones aswell, just secure them in a differant room with thier hands tied, thier legs tied, there head tied, and on top of that have them strapped to a table.i know this may seem cruel but i say know your enemy. you would learn the following. 1) how long it takes to turn 2) differant ways to kill it 3) how strong they are 4) how fast they are 5) how smart they are and is their some sort of smell that they dont like and will stay away from or somthing? it all depends on the zombie, and you can learn alot. 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

Look, getting cooped up with a bunch of people is tough to begin with. Put the stresss of the end of the workd on top of it. Damn. As far as military bunker go, you have to consider that there might be an exchange of some degree between nuclear powers. I would not count on government bunker letting me in, hell I don't count on it now for anything. As far as meeting points go, farther away from population centers the better. If any of you live in BC or Washington State. If the fit hits the shan. Come to Central Washington, around Ellensburg, I'll Find You.

"No guarantees that the virus breaks down thermally. Why do you think infection come with fever? Our body tries to torch the invading bodies and the body hopes that it can fry them before it fries itself." the body does not try to torch the incoming virus. it increases its temprature so that its immune system tries harder to get the virus out. that is why you get the flu when you stay cold for too long during flu season. when you get cold, your immune system does not work as well, and the virus is able to come in.
