Throw out your zombie plan, science says you're dead.
In a paper published in Infectious Disease Modelling Research Progress, a team of mathematicians from Carleton University and the University of Ottawa have created a series of mathematical models to explore the effects of a zombie outbreak and determine the best course for human survival. For the purpose of the paper, the team limited their models to the George Romero slow-moving zombies, and created separate models for zombie infections that cause the infected to resurrect immediately after contact with a zombie and for zombie infections with a 24-hour incubation period.

Go ahead and read the paper for yourself. If you're not a big reader I can summarize the report in less than a paragraph. If we catch the Zombies quick it's sunshine and margaritas. Unfortunately if we don't quarantine and eradicate them quickly we're all dead. Basically it's all going to come down to how quickly the government can move on the problem when it pops up. So you know, we should be just fine. Now if you'll excuse me I have a basement full of mountain dew that I need to start drinking.
