    Rated M for Mature.
    Zombies are EVERYWHERE -- in movies, in games, on TV. And for as ridiculous as it might seem to be attacked by the walking dead, it's much more science than fiction. Which begs the question, how do you survive the zombie apocalypse? Well, it's all about location, location, location. So where is the BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD to outlive the attacking zombie hordes? I think I may have found the answer!

    Wait, would zombies fight zombies? Tear each other apart? Or would you be able to make yourself both smell and look like a zombie and fit right in? Would they retain the knowledge of flying aircraft and such all on their own? How much would being a zombie hinder or help them? I have too many questions for a theoretical scenario...

      unsure about smell, it could work... just wait until someone else tests it
      even if they'd retain the knowledge, zombies brain are expected to be deteriorating, so nah, won't be useful, not considering their physical inability to fly aircrafts and stuff(i don't think PvZ stuff is possible)

  • @metalhead-qs6sk

    The problem with mosquitoes transporting the disease is that they don't actually suck your blood. It's your blood pressure that forces the blood into the mosquitoe. They track the host by using your breath, pheromones, and body heat. So unless the zombies still have a pumping heart, those mosquitoes wouldn't be able to find the zombie, let alone get any blood out of it.

    • @cocoa6671
      @cocoa6671 Před 26 dny

      for at least a while the zombies are still alive, and would attract mosquitos. they could pass the disease to their offspring and continue to hunt the remaining living humans, who are continuously turned to zombies. also, the smell of blood could (depending on the virus) draw zombies to your area. so best to avoid them anyway

One of the biggest problems would be typhoons, though. Might need to learn how to boat without gas though.

      @deamontana596 Před 7 lety +220

      I thought of something similar, the simulations stuck to a traditional model for disease spreading, and did not seem to take human response into account. But military bases would probably be a bad idea for two reasons
      1) other people who have the same idea
      2) the military would likely be poorly equipped to deal with zombies, they would be reluctant to fire on civilians (zombies), and are taught to aim for center of mass not the head (most books you read talk about this, it would likely take a while for people to realize that they need to shoot the head)

      Darin Anderson The problem with that though is that is a scenario where nobody KNOWS what a zombie is. Thats how in any zombie movie it spreads so fast. By the time people figure out what to do, its way too late. If this were to happen in modern reality it would take the population as a whole about 20 minutes to figure out exactly what they need to do and would be all over every social media feed and news cast within the hour. People would be much more prepared to defend themselves with the already known knowledge of how to take care of this. There is a good possibility our modern civilization could snuff a zombie apocalypse before it even got its foot in the door.

      BloodTide That is the point that I was trying to make (I don't think that I phrased it very good), but every time there is a disease outbreak in the world it is all over the media. The governments and disease prevention organizations would be able to handle small scale outbreaks, I was only referring to being ill prepared if you went to a military base. Your best option would either be to stay inside or get to a low population area very fast.

    Zombies are the least scary and least effective monsters ever.
    Ignoring the whole "they could totally exist in real life!" bullshit let's look at what makes them most deadly to humans: their numbers. Sure, in a horde zombies would be a major threat, but that literally applies to any other dangerous creature imaginable. A herd of stampeding wildebeest would be ten times deadlier than a zombie horde of the same size, because you would have a much harder time outrunning a charging wildebeest than even a "fast" zombie.
    On it's own, a zombie is slower, weaker, and stupider than a human. We're stronger than them, we can easily outsmart them, and we can always outrun them on foot or in vehicles. We are superior to them in every way. They have all of our weaknesses and none of our advantages.
    Also, their main food source is also their means of reproduction. Without humans, they can't reproduce, and they can't reproduce if they eat too many humans. Finally, their main food source and means of reproduction is also their primary predator. They are biologically doomed to fail. A zombie apocalypse would never happen because evolution is completely stacked against it ever succeeding.

      @@monke6912 look, it may seem that it will take time to get into the country, but in reality, it could've been right next to you before you knew that the virus existed. thats what happened with most people in large cities or small towns like mine. remember, it takes time for a virus to be identified, and takes more time to know its symptoms, and even more time to do test is you are positive or not. just keep that in mind. also, actually do the research and compare the rate of spread of the ronavirus to the zombie virus, and if your not, don't guess that the virus or whatever bad thing takes time for it to emerge, because most of the time, that is not the case what-so-ever.

    As an Ontarian, when I started this video I immediately said that Ontario would be the best spot. I think you may have gotten the county wrong though. You're going to want to be more up near Collingwood and Wasaga Beach (huge white sand fresh water beach). While we do grow a lot of things in Southern Ontario, the Blue Mountain region near Collingwood has a HUGE amount of amazing nutrient rich soil, which is why a lot of vegetables are grown there. A lot of the rest of Ontario focuses on grain production.
    Norfolk county is a poor choice because you are sandwiching yourself between Detroit, Buffalo, and Toronto, with larger Canadian cities like Hamilton and London very close by. You're surrounding yourself with the infected. The Collingwood/Wasaga Beach area is to the North off of Gorgian Bay, and actually isn't particularly colder. You would only be getting zombies coming up from the south because of the water on many sides and low populations on the others.

      Bullshit, they'd call you a "goof" (pedophile) and drunkenly try and start a fight with you, the myth about Canadians are dumb, I got harassed/threatened more in Ontario than I did in Detroit. Detroit IS more dangerous, but Canadians can be very aggressive and violent.
