@Squid Game 🅥 shut up
Christians will be raptured when the flesh-eating zombies break out. So yes, some people will survive the Apocalypse.
oi m8 do another audio book your first one was great.
15 min only...? wha happend?
Short answer: no.
Long answer: definitely no.
Zombies pose little to no threat whatsoever. First, let's answer the most important question:
Are we talking about dead body Zombies or are we talking about an infection where the host is still alive?
In the first case, natural decomposition quickly sets in, your bodies inhabitants (bacteria and fungi) start eating you from the inside out and all the biological functions that allow you to move, think and perceive cease functioning (e.g. digestion -> energy or breathing -> energy). In other words, the zombies will simply topple over and become unable to move after a very short time, probably within a day or two. And even before that, they won't be very efficient at spreading their infection because moving quickly requires a lot of energy.
In the second case, if we assume something like a rabies-like disease, Zombies would be able to last a bit longer and move just as a normal humans would or even faster if their mental inhibitors regarding muscle use are removed (a normal human is only able to use 30% of their muscle strength outside of emergency situations to prevent damage to the muscles. That's why a e.g. mom can lift a tree to save her child, but will have trouble lifting a heavy bag any other day). However, the limits of a normal living body would still apply. To function, a living mammal needs food, water and oxygen.
Assuming the virus inhibits brain function, the Zombie would be able to save energy on that front but would still need to expend it on any other action. That means they that just like a normal human, they need a constant food intake. Given that they are biting humans to turn them, they're obviously not eating them in their entirety so we're left with the problem of what are the Zombies eating to maintain function? Each other? Great, problem solves itself. Their victims? Great, no new Zombies. Animals? Not that many around in an urban environment and hard to catch without tools, so not very useful. Plants? Again, not that abundant in an urban environment and also very inefficient/indigestible outside of food crops.
All of this is in the short term. We're not even talking about nutrient deficiencies in the long term like Calcium, which is needed to maintain bone strength.
Water is a similar problem. First of all, if we assume it is a variant of rabies (and rabies is the most-zombie-like disease we have), people with rabies turn hydrophobic. That means, they are afraid of water and therefore can't drink it (they will also get swelling in their throat if they try, which means it's even harder). But lets say that's not the case, that means that the zombies regularly need to congregate around fresh water sources. That makes it incredibly easy to set up ambushes and kill zones. Unlike food, without water you will die within 3 days, and that is assuming you are gradually reducing activity and not being in metabolic overdrive like living zombies are usually depicted.
In other words, you just need to wait for a maximum of three days for the zombies to start dropping like flies. It's very easy to barricade yourself inside for that long, even with the supplies that a normal household will have at hand.
The last biological point is exposure. Depending on where you are, being out in the open all the time will do quite a number on your body. From frostbite in the winter to severe burns/dehydration in the summer to massive loss of body temperature in rain, having no access to shelter is a death sentence for us naked apes. It will take longer thathe biological factors, but it will still be quick, especially in the more extreme regions of the world like Canada or Nevada.
Now that we have covered biology, let's talk military. A zombie is not a virus. It isn't invisible to the naked eye and it doesn't enter our bodies. It's a huge lumbering mass of flesh. It's quite easy to shoot. And humanity has gotten *very* good at killing other humans. A single soldier with an assault rifle and a few clips of ammo can shoot dozens of Zombies with ease. Even easier with a machine gun (see the casualty rate of suicide charges in WW1 trench warfare) not to mention mounted turrets, artillery, explosives, drone and rocket strikes etc.
And what exactly is a zombie going to do against an APC or a Tank? Gnaw on it? All the driver has to do is simply drive into the 'horde' and crush them under the treads.
No, a zombie apocalypse will not stand the test of a military response. But even just regular police already have access to crowd control like water throwers, riot gear and armed response teams. Then, depending on the country, civilians might also have guns. In Israel for example, pretty much every adult (jewish or druze) male has gone through military training and if they are in the reserves, will have access to their service weapon.
In the US most people will have gotten laughably bad weapons training, but with enough ammunition even a complete beginner will hit a target.
Anyway, the zombie apocalypse is simply no threat outside of computer models that are drawn up for fun. The idea that each zombie is able to bite one human a day is fun in a statistic but has absolutely no bearing on reality. That would be like saying, each person with COVID-19 is infecting at least one other person every single day. And that one is a lot harder to prevent.
The biggest actual threat of a zombie apocalypse would be a virus that is extremely virulent and very resistant with a 100% lethality and a long enough incubation time to spread exponentially and is either airborne or waterborne. But in that case, the Zombies are the least of your concerns. The virus is what will kill you.
Anyway, enough rambling. This post got a little long, sorry.

The zombie study that was done was a good experiment. But there's a reason they were students. They failed to counter the sheer number of factors. Such as population densities. Instead using an average, and how isolated groups would have the possibility of holding out for a long time, provided they got knowledge of the zombies before hand, isolated mountain towns could fortify themselves extremely well. Their model also didn't take into account the zombies health. Zombies that run out of food have to eventually starve, reanimated or not, for their bodies to produce enough energy to move, they need food. Also, flesh decay. Now not all zombie viruses are the same, but most play it off as they are actually dead and the virus is controlling the body just barely enough to keep it running. This leads to rot and decay. We saw this in the Walking Dead. With season 1 zombies being almost fresh corpses, some could be mistaken for living people if they weren't chasing you and trying to kill you. But season 6 zombies were obvious, with skin falling off the bone, what meat remained being rotten, hair and teeth falling out. This makes them exceedingly vulnerable to attacks. As they slow down from lack of muscle tissue and their bones soften they become little more than targets for human defenders, only becoming dangerous in groups. Where as the early zombies, even though hordes were the problem. Season 1 zombies were extremely dangerous inside small spaces like hallways and homes. But season 6 zombies were little more than a nuisance unless they were in a truly massive group. And it was clear, that by season 4, the zombies had deteriorated so far and the humans had become so adept at killing zombies. The only real threat was other humans.
Dont forget that if you live in a climate with varying weather changes where it gets incredibly cold or overly warm, the bodies would cease to function as the freezing temperatures would bring the body temp of a zombie so low it couldnt function and the heat would rapidly increase rate of decay on the bodies. So an Arizona summer or a Washington winter would be a form of protection during those seasons, the only real threat would be the spring and autumn months where the temperature is relatively cool enough to slow down the decay without freezing the corpse.
You severely underestimate the power of automatic weaponry.
Go check out a CWIS on a navy vessel. That's the onslaught zombies would get. It sounds like hell fire and looks like it too. It's made to murder everything in the vicinity from drones to rockets going mach-3. And spits enough lead to decimate entire fields of zombies.
Now toss those on humvees and river boats, maybe track vessels and amphibious assault crafts too. We could blanket America in galling turrets trained to shoot only zombies using computer technologies.
We would have drones surveying and marking targets for deletion, finding pockets of infestation, even clearing buildings.
We're like a few years from just sending in a robot army to sort out humanity...
"Stay strapped or get clapped" bouta about to be a real quote. Catch me watching around with an eagle blowing holes in buildings
If zombie games like H1Z1 taught me anything it's other people raiding my base is the biggest worry, zombies are just a pain.
That's the thing: It will always be other humans that pose the biggest threat in any domestic survival situation. Zombies would just be the excuse for the rise of military dictatorship, because ultimately they have the weapons, skills and the numbers.
Exactly. Hoarders and preppers are doing the work for me as long as I have ammo. lmao
@@invisiblehands4000 😂😂😂 your right, people will just watch others collecting everything then ambush them.
@@invisiblehands4000 I agree with you again. It happens in war zones or a country in revolution. Its not just water, food, shelter and medical supplies maybe. Its security also. They are after your loved ones the females. I couldn't imagine what it must have been like in occupied counties IN WW2.
@@invisiblehands4000 absolutely!!! A female being able to defend herself could be the difference between life and death. If some guy attacked a woman walking her dog or on her way home from work that attacker wants her to be scared and do as he says as to not attract attention etc. If she already has it in her head what to do, just standing up to the guy might even be enough to make him run away. Your right about self confidence also. I with age and health found that out the hard way in a fight. I didn't lose but came close to it and I hid it well afterwards. But it shook my confidence.

Those scholars were purnished gracefully intellectually
I want to ask did the university take into account that people already knew about zombies or is it a world with no zombie information.
I always went with this fact. If we knew about zombie and say the virus was given to one person are a group of people around the world. Any person who has seen even a single zombie movie, book, etc should know to get away from that person. Even if a few people get infected, the virus shouldn't spread that far.
Say people for some reason think it's just a sick person since zombies are fictional. Isn't it still smart enough take into account that that person may have a infectious disease. Also, the moment you see someone get bitten is the time for you to realize your situation and act accordingly.
The medieval era would have been an utter breeze to survive zombies. They were used to taking to walls during sieges, and in zombies case... it would have been like fighting an army of morons.

@@gamejew123 if the wall perimeter is large enough .. you could make a fully self sustainable fortress
Where I see a flaw in a zombie apocalypse actually being apocalyptic would not be the zombies, it’d be the recovery.
If there were 99 zombies for each living person, feasibly, each person could kill one zombie a day, and by day 100, the world would be zombie-free.
I think Night of the Living Dead is probably the most accurate Zombie movie because the dead don’t win.
They’d have a strong start, followed by a quick eradication.
I've also had the same thought, I belive the zombies would quickly be killed, and thinking about walking dead I'm 100% sure that there would not be any zombies in their area
Yo yo
Day of the Dead was a lot more nihilistic, yet a far less likely outcome. The fact is that under any circumstances, the zombies/infected can't win, whether all the 'humans' die or survive by the end.
It depends on the zombie types and how it is spread and the universe from that world. Like in the train to Busan world the zombies a much faster but only attack when they see you plus even a slight scratch can turn one into a zombie, in wwz movie they attack only those without disease, some zombies have some intellect like those from #Alive they remembering a bit from their memory they almost similar to vampires from I am legend. Also it is not simple killing the zombies what if it is a hoarde coming and you got limited Ammo or don't struggle killing them its not easy to break a human skull
If a zombie apocalypse is to become a worldwide extinction event, the zombification agent has to be relatively simultaneous worldwide, and not having one ground zero and spread from there.
World War Z (the book) has to go through an enormous amount of bad luck, idiocy, incompetense and bad decisions to spread the zombie virus. It breaks suspension of disbelief, to be honest.
Also, the zombies can't be as slow and unthreatening as in TWD. They don't have to be like in 28 Days Later, but definitely not rotten and lethargic.
What TWD does right is that everyone already has the virus, they just need to die to be zombified. This can be brought even further; a incredibly long incubation time or a sort of dormant pathogen suddenly being activated simultaneously in the masses.
I've always been a believer in the fresh zombies being fast and don't really fatigue but as they start to decay they become slower or unable to move much at all. It'll take longer for them to decay compared to a corpse though because they're moving but still way quicker than living things.
just move to a snowy area where zombie's flesh and mussels would just freeze.
When the zombie finally get some human brain,
-"there is nothing in here, we're dead for sure"
Something that I find most studies and theories never cover is how necrosis and physical bites affect the body of the zombie. Surely being ripped apart and eaten multiple times, severed arteries, etc. would inhibit the ability for the zombies to effectively spread the virus. Especially as hoards gather, they would literally eat the new hosts to the point that they would be practically useless as a virus carrier. Also, what's not to stop them from ripping their own kind to shreds?
They only eat "fresh uninfected meat" and obliviously zombies arent "fresh" anymore.
The virus makes them revolted by the taste of "infected meat" and it also doesnt satisfy their hunger so they instinctivly gaveup on eating each other.
Like uninfected people taste like bacon and infected people taste like dirt
1 winter or summer. And the zombies lose
Even without that, it wouldn’t explain. If you’ve ever taken a physiology class of any sort, you learn all about the processes post mortem, that would completely inhibit the ability for the body to make any coordinated and sustained movements. There is just no way a zombie of the dead variety would be able to move and carry the virus. If it were of the living variety, yeah the zombie would likely quickly die due to blood loss, starvation, dehydration or exposure.
Realistically they would never exist, it would have to be through supernatural means (energy/spells that reanimate them like Call of Duty
@@llamainyamama3088 Also muscle tear since the host controlling them would likely have them awake and moving constantly to look for new food.
If it was a 'Bite only' Zombie plague, it'd be dealt with relatively quickly.

Yo yo yo
Not certain. A rabies hybrid, where you get a 28 days later virus would be a nightmare. People alive but rabid. Snapping and biting people whilst running like wild animals and beating people with no care for their own health or pain
@@shanehughes3511 the 28 days later zombies don't eat or drink. In fact, people affected by rabies can't drink because they become afraid of water. Simply put, they aren't very realistic.
And even if they were, the only reason why the virus was able to spread after the successful first quarantine, was because of wholesale incompetence by the military and containment team. Being that they decided to fly n settlers while still being in the process of cleanup?
Allowing random shmoe mcjoe janitor to enter in a high security lab without any form of security measure in place to kiss the only surviving Zombie in the entire city?
No, the events of those movies happen because they need to happen for the movies to exist.

Lets admit it
Once the first zombie horde has been revealed to the world
The military would deal with it in a matter of days with minimal casualties
Even if not
I can personally assume that even 1 person could take out at least 1 or 2 zombies with ease
And survival gear would be easy to fashion from your own supplies
Most people already have canned food, knives, the United States owns plenty of firearms along with other countries, running water wouldn't be a problem for at least a day. People own bikes, cars, fishing kits, tents, spare mattresses and airbeds and other useful supplies which before a zombie apocalypse would just be used for recreation
But during a zombie apocalypse, especially in developed countries, most people would have a good chance against zombies and the wilderness, and their biggest threats would be other humans scrambling for supplies

I always thought The Walking Dead zombies wouldn’t be an issue but with people these days I ain’t so sure.
Natural selection is beautiful.
Bad part is when people become zombies then they become athletes
I'm wondering how bad a zombie apocalypse would be if the virus would spread airborne
@@jaripruim haha ya really. I wonder if that would get people to wear a mask, or if it would still be "violating their rights"?
My guess is it would probably be a Lot worse if airborne.
@@jaripruim we'd be dead within months
All of the statistical models overlook the single most important factor in any zombie apocalypse; How rapidly animals, insects, and bacteria would incapacitate reanimated corpses. In tropical climates zombies would be reduced to masses of bones in about a week. In temperate climates they might last a few weeks longer than that depending on the season.
Ahh yes, lets make a monster that is dumb as fuck and slow as hell fight the currently the smartest creature on Earth that can literally spilt the Atom if given time.
One of the problems with a zombie apocalypse is that it would have to wipe out more than half the population right off the bat in order to even be remotely successful. One thing that always bothered me about the Walking Dead was the whole "we're already infected" route because it makes me wonder that if they are already infected then how does being bit change anything?
Being bit makes the infection manifest itself immediately where as if you aren’t bit it only happens after you die (if your brain isn’t destroyed)
Basically, in the Walking Dead, the bite is what kills you. It burns you out via a fever and the virus sets in after you die.
Yeah like, if a random corpse sprouts from the ground and bites someone, they’ll both be killed trying to go anywhere due to people
If we're already infected it was prob a dormant infection or gene if you're bit the infection gets activated you die from it and now you're a zombie and if you weren't bit it'll become active after you die
If you had too much bit off, even if you're immune, you'd probably die of blood loss or something.
The Pentagon plan if I remember, is a template for HOW to design a scenario planning excerise. Because it is fantastical, it engages the participants towards greater creativity without becoming morbid and moribund in casualties and mortality figures.
Plus I love the vegetarian zombies.

The plan was a cover up for resistance to a populist revolution. The CIA developed it in a case that something leaked that was so devastating to the government, people overthrew their own government. It's been used back and forth for managing propaganda for a long time. There's no instance in the simulations where they win, only escape.

You never know!
Don't remember who said it, but goes something like: while zombies have the advantage of being able to grow their numbers and are rather resilient against damage (excl headshots) they also need to fight their most dangerous enemy every time they need to eat / reproduce.
I like to think that once we collectively realized what was actually happening we would begin the "take care of business" phase.
I'd like to respectfully disagree. Much of the animal kingdom deals with the same "fight their enemies in order to eat" scenarios. Would humans win? Maybe eventually, read World War Z by max brooks. Great book that plays out just about every real life scenario
Yo
@@mullerSmash much of the animal kingdom has an abundant prey species that does not have artificial shelter or, well, guns. Even apex predators will not approach a target if they feel at danger of being hurt in the process. That's why tigers for example always attack from behind and why no one is stupid enough to attack a hippo or an adult, healthy elefant.
Zombies have a very resistant prey, that is not very nutritious and hard to reach.
@@mullerSmash yeah but the thing is, in those scenarios were an animal needs to fight it’s predator to eat, the animal is pretty capable itself, a zombie wouldn’t even know to hide from death, they’re not capable at all. They’re weak, rotting, stupid, easily counter able, and are even less durable than humans, who mind you are one of the least durable species in the animal kingdom. Eventually when everyone overcomes the fear of zombies, we’d win by a landslide. They’re literally humans missing everything that makes humans dangerous, they can move for days on end but they don’t even travel at a moderate pace, fuck even a wheelchair bound person could outpace them.

I like the game Project zomboid. In its lore, the zombie infection has two stages.
stage 1: food borne and water borne. You become infected by drinking infected water or eating infected meat. Most of the population is susceptible but some humans are naturally immune to the stage 1 infection. Meaning they can eat and drink all they want and never even feel a little sickly.
but then there's stage 2. Blood and saliva transmission via an infected individual. The zombies. There is no immunity against it. Scratches have a small chance to infect. Because typically there isn't infected blood under fingernails but with rotting corpses there can be. And bites are always 100% infectious. You can not survive a bite under any circumstance.
I like this multi-stage infection idea because it explains how rapid and wide-spread the infection happens in kentucky and how it continues to spread beyond the county despite the military enforcing quarantine. And eventually infects most of the planet. But still allows plenty of room for survivors to emerge and survive amongst the living dead.
I also like the game because you can choose what kind of zombie threat you want. And just how sparse or dense their population is.
You got a lotta free time
You forgot the airborne stage
Knowing what people did during the pandemic we won’t survive a zombie apocalypse

You're forgetting about human nature in a situation like that. Humanity would quickly break up into many militant groups that would kill one another for dwindling resources. The zombies are stupid. Avoiding smart humans with weapons would be a much harder game.
Facts then what about the people who got sick and disabled family and friends??? Those people will do whatever it take to take care of they love ones you will have people fighting and killing over it
@@wishmaster8857 That's right. But you used two key qualifiers there: family and friends. I'm talking about groups formed around family/friend units competing with different groups formed around a different family/friend unit. Think about it. That's essentially what tribes, nations, etc. are. They've always fought against one another for a limited resource.
@@HeyIFoundACamera I thought about it I even slept on it and woke up thought about you are exactly right but just because you have something good someone will be after it
That depends on how bad the infection becomes, and if world governments are all eradicated. WWZ had a very good take on this idea, as although there were militant groups outside of the Rocky Mountains, (which is where the U.S. government was now basing its operations out of) the U.S. Government was still alive and kicking, with people flocking to them in droves every single day.
Society and government wouldn't just breakdown overnight in a zombie apocalypse. It would have to be so bad that literally all echelons of government are completely wiped out for large and powerful militant groups to rise up and take power.
Like why would you even be scared of zombies? they look fucking stupid and they can be easily counterattacked.
The question of could we survive the zombie apocalypse. The answer is "no" because the result is people hoarding toilet paper like post-apocalyptic currency.

Darn the toilet zombies
The Project Zomboid zombie disease spreads in 2 ways, through air and through bites and scratches.
Your character is immune to the airborne disease but they are not immune to bites and will turn if bitten.
The airborne spread is how the vast majority of people get turned into zombies.
@@jinhong91 And that made no sense really. If you're immune to air, you're immune to bite. Unless it's 2 completely different types of viruses working together (last part was a joke. 2 unrelated viruses do not work together) :P
11:30 yes that is the real question, why they have so much free time to think about these things, and anyone other than fictional novel writers is dedicating any time to it.
if there’s ever a zombie apocalypse, the first thing you should do is head for the mountains, the Rocky Mountains would be the best hiding place for a zombie apocalypse
Survive a ZOMBIE POCKY-CLIPS? That would be SUPER EASY, BARELY AN INCONVENIENCE.

There is no zombie apocalypse movie that I've ever watched and didn't laughed on. The best fun is when you're with some friends because everyone has to say something about how ridiculous some scenes was
You and your friends will definitely be the first ones to be disemboweled.
Considering the level of understanding basic human biology, Hollywood screen writers get an F every single time. Of course, it's a hypothetical situation, but these people just can't seem to make any scenario even remotely plausible (making them funny, at least on some level).
People who joke a lot are the most scared.
We're in a zombie apocalypse right now. i'm assuming you watched the news stories of january 6? while not technically chuds, yet, it's clear that the horde had been victimized by a true chud. Ladies and gentlemen, may i present rupert murdoch, the greatest brain eater in human history.
@@jessebianchi2631 wat
I can’t believe no one makes this point, in order for a zombie to move or do anything it would need to use energy thus requiring functional digestive, circulatory, and respiratory systems to break down food and supply it’s cells with the energy. This would make the zombies susceptible to bleeding, suffocation, and trauma to the abdomen making them die not too far from how a human would. Along with that them biting people could cause them to die from their wounds or infection before becoming a zombie possibly leading to the virus being too virulent to be much of a threat.
It would be much much more of a threat if it were airborne though.
I’d say that a warm open climate for human quarantine would be more optimal as the zombies would decay and be infected with human-illnesses faster and will burn more energy trying to run across big open plains in the sun.
The number 1 fear I would have is a zombie reaching a cold climate and getting persevered in ice.
Also this would require the zombie to eat, or starve. If ppl could avoid being eaten, the problem would solve itself. I think the greatest threat would be from other ppl, not the zombie.
I really enjoy your content. Keep up the good work my friend
So heres whats funny, ive been subbed to you since my middleschool days, i am now out of highschool, AKA 8 years, and i literally have not been reccomended a single video of yours UNTIL TODAY. Thanks youtube! :)
Can we create a reddit where we already pre create plans and stuff? Like locations to meet up at the start, places to avoid at the start, how to connect communications after the power goes out, different scenarios such and such. Might be pretty cool
Yeah that's smart, just be prepared for different types of viruses, cuz if it spreads through air it'd be a different story than not spreading until you get bitten
r/ZombieSurvivalTactics and r/preppers might interest you.
Redditors are the last people I’d let know my postapocalyptic plans.
Sounds smart!!
@@THEV01CE_ ok imagine someone comes along who is a member of that Reddit space and brings zombies , blows up the place , starts shooting up the place so no it's fucking stupid to give people your apocalypse location

Which Zombies and Which Humans. This is very important
Last time I watched a video called “could we survive a global pandemic” covid happened a few months later. And if we handle zombies how we handled that…
😱
Oh god we’re screwed😂😂😂😂
Yes but you can't tell if someone has covid, you can tell when a stumbling corpse is carrying flies around and chasing you
A few friends and I had this discussion a few years ago and we all concluded there were 4 things that would be essential for humanity's victory over the zombies: 1. Always go for the head shot. 2. Never go outside to check on that weird noise. 3. Everyone gets a full body bite inspection at least once daily. 4. Anyone who panics or freaks out is used as bait or to distract the zombies so the rational people who actually want to survive can make their escape. I added in that it would be best to move to the hottest and driest desert OR to the far north tundra. Basically any place that the environment would prevent zombies from reaching you. Desert would dry them out and arctic would freeze them solid and both options would leave plenty of time for easy clean-up by the living.
island in a middle sea where no human ever been there with big boat not a car and been died by a car accdent beore been bated
Zombies drying out in deserts seems good idea but it's a whole reverse situation in polar regions. Imagine humanity surviving the apocalypse initially unknown to the frozen preserved zombie fossils for another outbreak
@@aliabbaszoher5618 I think still the dry cold would dedicate them similar to the desert. it would take far more time but would be as effective. Think of Otsi the ice man found decades ago. Entombed in ice yet dried up and mummified.
I still firmly believe we have FAR more to worry about from the living than the dead could EVER do to us.
@@Enjoymentboy 100% agreed that the living ARE and WILL be far more deadly then the Undead/dead

Day after day Thoughty2 turns into a gigachad :)
After looking at the way we, as the collective homosapien species, have dealt with the instancies of Covid over the past 2 years, I can honestly say without a doubt that we would not survive a zombie apocalypse.
I’d say half of us wouldn’t survive. A certain half who tries to say you don’t need guns, that you need to blindly obey a psychotic doctor, that you need to give up your rights for “safety”.
@@hiddendesire3076 Seeing as I smell no bias in your comment, and considering surely ALL doctors that suggest wearing masks and washing hands are instantly deemed psychotic, I wholeheartedly agree with your statement.
well seeing how china reacted to the covid outbreak by shutting the city down I would assume they erase a zombie outbreak within a few hours, maybe a few days
@@anonym3967
Didn't you forgot how China literally covered up COVID and allowed it to spread?
@@anonym3967 even then they'd got screwed over by international peeception.
Imagine any government just shoot zonbies on sight without the knowledge of them being curable or not. Public outrage would be real.
And also, lets not forget dumb people doing dumb things that end up making them dead.
I sure do hope so..
Shut up check mark
SHIBASAURUS REX there verified
In Baltimore there it started allready called dope zombies
We can't hardly survive a second flu
Why? U know something we don’t? 🤨🤨
Each zombie biting one person per day is way too much, especially in a horde situation and over time.
Chicke be like. Dear sir, I am still around as my flying cousins. But yeah zombies would be your doom. Now excuse me, I have to prepare for this "doomsday". *walks back into it's bunker while sipping a tee.* XD
I feel like this leaves out military reactions and body decomposition, I think humans would survive just because after enough time the zombies wouldn’t be able to move anymore because all the muscles are gone
Unless they mutate into crimson heads or lickers first
If the premise is that the pathogen deteriorates the brain tissue bit by bit, it's only a matter of time they would die off of not being able to breathe anymore. That's probably only a week or a month after the infection and it would be easy to identify at an early stage (having symptoms similar to the onset MS or Alzheimer's). Besides, raw meat doesn't provide all that much energy, either.
Yes we could. I have a fully fledged survival plan that stretches to the six month mark until I have to come up with more survival tricks
Unless they can swim. Or if the virus is airborne
My crew will find you and make you work for us. We will take whatever people prepared for ourselves with pure numbers and weapons.
@@markgallagher1790 Just look to mosquitos. Bite the infected, transmit it to an uninfected individual, they turn.
@Bobly Roskels I would be giving on an island a few miles off the coast, who's name and location I will not disclose. Unless they can swim, I'm fine
@Bobly Roskels rip current damm near surround the entire seabed plus very few ways to access the island from the water. No land of the dead type thing happening
Castles are the best defense against the Undead: rotting corpses can't punch through solid rock and hardwood doors.
Will your new book be on audible at all? Thoroughly enjoyed your other one 😊 thanks. Oh and would you be narrating it 👍
Considering how people handled covid-19, if a zombie apocalypse happened humanity is done for.
Not really. You get to kill the infected dead. People like killing things, especially other humans it seems.
most people knew it wasn't that bad from the jump. but when people start dying in the streets in front of them, my guess is that their survival instincts will kick in (it happens, I have experience lol) and it'll increase chances of survival just enough for a few pairs of humans to repopulate.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
What the whole Covid situation has taught me is that if we can't handle a practically non-lethal and easily avoided pathogen such as that, a real pandemic would wipe us out in no time.
You only get to kill zombies in movies in real life you would be tried for murder there is no way to know if zombies could be cured.
"Anything that walks on 2 legs and watches netflix",me who dosen't have netflix- I DON'T HAVE SUCH WEAKNESSES

Strangely enough, according to Max Brookes, it is SIR that enables us to win the Zombie war. Or more accurately THE SIR - Standard Infantry Rifle. With Mr Lobo as a backup 😎 If you know, you know 👍
If you can break a zombies jaw to the point they cant bite you can use them to carry stuff, just put a backpack on them and cut the tendon's of the arms, and you can use them as your slaves
In reality, if rabies ever mutated and was still transmittable through biting someone, it could very easily turn into a very real zombie apocalypse.
Not really. If it becomes airborne then yes. But not by bites.
Because once the news gets out the spread would stop almost in it's tracks.
Please for god's sake do not give the government ideas. They already re-engineered SARS in a lab and released it to the public, that was just a test for what will come next.

The more I think about zombie apocalypse , the more I'm terrifyed about it . Everyone thinks that they will magically turn into Rick and kill hundreds of zeds . But think about actual survival . Escaping that chaos , getting yourself food , clean water , treating your wounds , lack of sleep , coping with death of loved ones , dirty clothes and desperate people . Then it doesn't seem like fun at all...
You should check out a game called Project Zomboid. In that game, you basically have to do everything that you mentioned. It’s one of the most realistic zombie survival games ever.
@@VinnyLam i know of that game . It's fantastic
Almost all zombies would be gone in atleast 3 weeks because they have a human body which can't stay alive without food and water, there is no chaos to escape from when u don't live in a city, many ppl have food for 3 weeks and if not u can still stay alive for 3 weeks if u had food before, a few million woldn't care about death loved ones since they have none and lack of sleep doesn't matter if you just stay in your house.
It wouldn't be fun but after 2 months everything will be normal again, just less ppl.
@@spanishguy8962 noone knows how zombies would work . What if they could last without food until they rot away ? Also if those zombies could last for more than few weeks your water and food will run out and you would have to get more . Also if you live in cold climate (as I do) the incoming winter would be big problem if you would stay in city so moving to rural areas would be your best bet
The Zombie apocalypse started during the industrial revolution, more than 100 years ago.

Very nice topic. I thought the commentary, the humor, and hiding the horrorific incidents in humor is great. Also, the factual issues are so random yet unique, nice that you explore the academic and the military involvement. Interestingthe topic stande between comic books, cheesy B movies, modern books and big actor movies (Brad Pitts). Yup it covers popular culture, the blankting of modern society. Just what is the military up to anyway? Maybe "Area 151", ha ha!
Oh yeah Arron I got the audio/audible book "Stick a Flag In It", quite engrossing and very nicely percieved. How the Bitish got to be were thay are as a society hence where the world is as well. Also, I loved the King (can't remember the Kings name) but he explodes as a gas expands his skin tissue. Upon moving him to his crypt finally the corpse explodes covering attendees with human goo. A wonderfully "Monty Pythonesque" type of tale- good job on the verbal delivery and the book in general. I am looking forward to the next installment about Rome!

I've seen a speculated version of zombification that results from a mutated strain of rabies. The host doesn't actually die, but the brain is so swiss-cheesed that it might as well be a zombie. The "zombie" bodies wouldn't rot, and the host would be compelled to seek out new victims.
A shotgun would actually be a very poor choice considering it has low ammo capacity and can only do damage at close range. Simple melee weapons and traps would be your best bet for survival. Something as simple as a tripwire that you know to avoid would assure your escape every single time.
Fishing line has amazing strength poundage yields, tight twist it into a string then turn into a rope and it can then hold .. tons .. of weight.
Unless your using the shotty in enclosed areas and its your only weapon, ya take what ya can get.
yeah or anything around you is good, you can use a table for self defense, you can use a spoon or a plate, try breaking the plate on the zombie grabbing the sharp pieces of "plate"???? and stab the zombie with it, or use the almighty broom and kill them in the most brutal and slow way possible (Beating their head to a pulp, shove the handle inside their mouths, etc.)
you can use a rock, or your backpack. Anything can be a weapon, but i do prefer melee weapons like a knife or any sharp object for a swift kill, only if you know how to use them though, because you might end up chopping your hand off instead of chopping the zombie's head off.
Shotguns actually have really good range irl. I mean it's not as far as an AR, but the average hunting shotgun can easily shoot 100 meters effectively. Even a sawed off shotgun has enough range in an urban environment to do damage at some distance
IRL is not cod. No offence. A shotgun could pretty much blow out your organs look up "shotgun vs ballistic gel"
