Look more like a return to the past, no?

What would happen if some animal infected with 'rage' escapes and infect people, wouldn't this be the same like with zombies only this time the infected ones would still be alive. I find this scenario/theory more possible then zombie attack

It is... Actual zombies (undead), at least according to current science, couldn't exist. But it is possible some kind of virus/plague could create zombie-like symptoms.

Considering the propaganda being spouted by the popular press these days and how they "pooh pooh" anything that isn't popular, or in the mainstream way of thinking, I'd say we are there!

Step 1. Have all the Nukes of all Super Power Nations be transferred to outer space.

Step 2. Make that a TOP SECRET Deal.( Coz many idiots weill try to mess things up)

Step 3. Make Thousands of underground tunnels that can at least accomodate six billion people. (They should be far from fault lines and continentantal trenches in case it does hit.

Step 4. Make the BOMBs in outer space. It should be at least at two different locations preferably near the route of that meteor( ex Mars and the Moon)

Step 5. Try to blast the meteor as many as we can, as powerful as we can.

Recently scientists recalculated what is needed to bomb asteroids and how safe is it, and the results prove positive.

We can deflect incoming asteroids with just an average nuclear warhead and 'rubble' asteroids won't be too much trouble, they won't break apart and bombard the planet as previously thought.

Anyway early detection is key, we will have years to slowly push or pull it away.

Rabies?! (shudder) Has a case of what that might do to a human every been documented? It's supposed to eat away at your brain from what I know of it. That said it would be the closest to zombie like behavior! Or at least violent outbreaks.
We could use dart guns loaded with the vaccine, otherwise we'd have to kill the afflicted.
Any ideas?

^ The symptoms are terrible and the disease is fatal relatively quickly if left untreated (roughly a week), but there is a vaccine for it, with vastly positive results. Assuming you don't notice it and someone...bites you(?) you got a good two days to get your hands on that cure! But with this crisis at hand, how much would vaccine prices rise, who would hold the monopoly of it and eventually rule the world while promising treatment!!?

Rabies vaccines are unique in a sense that they can overcome the virus no matter how they mutate, due to a primary protein strand.

Though the vaccine isn't nice. I took it back in primary school and was hospitalised for a 45 degrees high fever.

Alright here's my newly upgraded 'Police Marksman Rifle'.

Steyr Elite in .308 Win with a Schmidt & Bender Police Marksman II 4-16x50mm P3 Milrad Adjustment scope.

A close up of the cool bits:

The background I hope shows that it's my rifle as an anime fan. <3 Saber

And the shirt I'll be wearing during TEOTWAWKI!


It's pretty much Project Complete apart from the scope covers and an Anti-Reflective Device to go over the objective lens for the final tac-tac-tacticoooooool look.

Next firearm purchase will be an Accuracy International Arctic Warfare Super Magnum in .338 Lapua Magnum and another S&B scope, probably of the 5-25x56mm PMII series.

I'm getting a job in the mines at the end of the year so I should be making a pretty penny to afford such a set up!

Bring on TEOTWAWKI!

45 degree??

How are you still alive? What did it feel like?

[Lost Cause]

Rabies was a very big deal in rural Alabama were I'm originally from! Every wild animal (and some domesticated ones) were viewed with suspicsion. Even here in VA. it has been known to happen as humans encroach upon the once wild spots. Wild animals do return the gesture by coming into your backyard!

[Kafriel]

45 degree??

How are you still alive?

Good question, afaik fever is life-threatening past 42 degrees o_0

Must have been decades ago no offence :P but don't worry, you can tranquilize first, examine next, and then decide what to do.

I share you a secret... It was me that suggested "THAT" to "THEM".

None taken. It was about 18 years ago! But it's still an active disease none the less.

I was put in an ice room. Maybe that is the reason why I am slightly crazy.

if it becomes like RE's T and G viruses, we are so screwed...

Always carry a boombox and a copy of Michael Jackson's "Thriller". Playing the song will cause all zombies in the area to dance for unknown reasons. This is your chance to run. Use it only when you are outnumbered because boomboxes take up a lot of batteries.
