Will this really happen?
Aug 25 2010, 5:47 PM EDT | Post edited: Aug 25 2010, 5:47 PM EDT
Will zombies actually happen. I mean that the world is so far in medicine, that fact that virus that causes a fever to kill brains cells enough to only primitive and violent actions and cause an allergic reaction to a human to cause swelling and/or make a tint in the skin (gray or green) will not break out. The UN would take precautions to destroy it, and if used as a weapon, they would have a solution after the infection. (The crazies) z-day will probably not happen. Please state your ideas of this matter. Do you find this valuable?

Actually it is the very exsistance of medicine that would probably be the cause of some plague that would have those symptoms.
Why?

One reason is/are super mutations of current viruses or diseases that come about because of cronic,improper overabuse of the very medicines designed to fight them.

Everytime someone uses an antibiotic to combat a disease, and the patient does not follow the direction EXACTLY, a new slightly stronger strain of the same bug is created.

This is one of the reasons a lot of drugs used 10 or 15 years ago are no longer effective.

Then you have a the genetic manipulation of viruses and bacterium trying to create a super vaccination or cure all for some diseases. Eventually they will create a bug they cannot contain nor control.

As far as the U.N. taking precautions..that is laughable, they cannot even keep their own rank and file from being corrupt. Let alone do anything quickly on a worldwide scale. Such as try to stop a world wide plague.

I think it may be probable. I mean, not probable that it most likely will happen, but probable in the like that it could happen. I agree with the fact that cures for diseases is probably what is going to cause a zombie apocalypse. I think that a strand of virus' will mutate and cause a disease to kill brain cells. Humans would have no medicine to cure it whatsoever. We'd be screwed.

Maybe the government will create zombie's, though. You know how the stereotypes go.

meh Its on the list of probable but zombies could not happen. As the actual definition of zombie is that of a human being rising from the grave to feed on the flesh of the living.
This is impossible as we can all agree (Not counting religous beliefs of course(ain't bashing as I'm religous.) ).
While I see it more as a crazy rabies/mad cow disease kind of an ordeal. Its completely probable as in there is still a slim slim chance that it could happen.

I agree with this logic. Some species of animals already experienced zombies (mad cow). Virus do mutate and duplicate. Im reading a book now about how this bacteria from e-coli that create a product that humans are allergic to. This product can easily attached to the common cold or some other fever virus, you have zombies.

My take on the "virus-makes-them-rise-from-the-grave" zombies:
Justin Bieber will sing bass before they attack.

I can see several diseases producing zombie-like symptoms, especially ones like ragers.

You need to think of it from my point of view, everything is possible, we have proven time and time again that this Creed is true. I mean let's look at some examples, Penicillin, nobody thought that was gonna happen but it did. WW2, people thought it would never end, it did. People thought Justin Bieber would never become a professional singer. But he did.

Everything is possible and there are so many schools of thought on every single subject known to man, each one of these schools of thought increases the likelihood of an instance (More people, more resources, more time.)

So yes, It is possible. Improbable? Most likely.

Hell why don't we just organize a mass murder party with members from the ZSDW to hit him with T-SHirts full of sour patch kids (That's what it was, not a bottle)

After reading OutlawJames post it reminded me of a super bug from India. Becsue many drugs can be bought over the counter with no prescription needed, it has led to a new super virus being created.

Something similer could make a zombie like virus

The thing is, I'm not saying they'll rise from the grave. I'm saying that the disease will cause them to be zombie-like. They will be infected with the disease. It's a little like Left 4 Dead. Except without the mutations. I don't think there will be super-zombies( no chargers, tanks, Spitters, witches, etc.) Do you find this valuable?

That's what I was saying. RFTG zombies, no. Virus-infected people, maybe.

I agree, zombies will never rise from the dead, unless the body was reinforced with mechanical parts(robot), zombies will be a disease, most people on this site understands. There might be some bad reactions that might cause as mutation or something. still, i guess zombies will happen, but i just don't think it will break out. Anyone watch the crazies, the govs nuke the infected town to stop it. Thats what will happen when the zombies appear, a nuke or two.
