"This is one flag. But it is far more likely to be a crazed drug addict rather than a zombie. When you hear hooves, it's more likely to be horses than zebras.

As for the shooting, play the numbers before freaking out. Miami is a big city, with several hospitals. The odds say it wasn't the same one.

Even if it is, they have hundreds of patients every day. The odds are it wasn't about this patient.

But, keep monitoring. More data is always a good thing."

"Pedro... Just cuz I'm a scientist doesn't mean that everything I said was intended as anything more than a tongue-in-cheek half-humorous spoof on typical cover-up jargon.

Conversely just because I ascribe to what others may consider a mumbo-jumbo religion, that does not mean I buy anything outside of conventional Proven science...

Lighten up man, try to read a little more humor into what people say, especially me... Life is too short to try and refute obvious tripe ideas.

That said, I agree that this is all just people trying to connect the dots across two pages to turn several pictures into one. Like some great child who can't color in the lines."

This whole drug explanation, I'm definitely not buying.

Something seems to be spreading, here's a map of bizarre incidents:

"Also, that map is stretching pretty hard to find weird stuff. Japanese guy serves genitals for dinner? Kids get exposed to pesticide on the bus? Guy survives flesh-eating bacteria? That's not much."

"Actually the media always feeds on what is current. A guy goes out and eats another guys face, everyone talks about possible zombie apocalypse and signs of the world ending, media searches for all related topics of "possible" zombie attacks or similar and posts them for people to see. Humans are primitive by nature, so for them to do something primitive like cannibalism is strange because we think we have become more civilized then that, however not uncommon as it has happened multiple times in the past.

So, IMO i do not believe there is anything weird happening here, just more coverage of it by the media to boost ratings. This does not mean don't keep an eye out and be prepared, that is obvious the right way to be all the time, zeds or not, :)...."

"Sure it is, but it's not the ONLY news that's in demand. Some guy eating some other guys face wouldn't have rated more than a passing mention, if that, on a day when some senator was killed in a car accident, or on a day when some terrorist flew a plane into a building, or even on a day when they were reporting election coverage for that matter."

"Sure cannibalism happens. Who says it doesn't? But I've never encountered even one story where the attacker acts exactly like a primal animal. Every case of cannibalism I have heard about, the subject would usually kill their victim(s) and then cut them up and eat them. Not very zombie-like. Too much thinking involved. I'm not talking about just PCP or other drug violence, because either the attacker is just delusional, but still slightly rational, or only harming themselves. Sometimes they attack others, but it seems more human than what we are seeing here."
