[QUOTE="Brandi, post: 2449279, member: 24446"] Epidemics and pandemics are impossible to isolate these days. When a case of Ebola pops up in some remote, VERY remote village in Africa it's not just one village it's several. Even with the fastest response, in the most remote areas in the world with the slowest methods of transportation these diseases have already spread to multiple villages by the time the CDC or WHO get there. Now imagine what happens in a modern area. We've seen it with SARs, the flu and a half dozen others just in the last 50 years but with a theoretical disease such as Zombieitis the transmission rate would be faster than anything ever seen so far, even surpassing the bubonic plague. It wouldn't be controllable or containable, the government response would be to protect the powerful, wealthy and folks like doctors and scientists and anyone who would be needed to rebuild society after the disease runs it's course. There will be an initial attempt to contain and control but it wouldn't last long before the government pulled back into their rabbit holes to wait it out. All us average folks will be stuck to protect and care for ourselves. If any movie or television show has ever come close I'd say "Walking Dead" is a pretty good representation of what will happen.
