[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 2805423, member: 18914"] I think we (or some others) had a very similar discussion in the FtWD thread. The bottom line was that one's assumptions greatly affect one's conclusions (duh). Given that these are relatively slow, stupid zombies and they mostly spread by contact (bite, splatter by blood into open wound sort of like HIV) this would be a disgusting and disturbing plague but definitely a manageable one. However, if it strikes nearly everywhere at once, is airborne, and works its effects in a matter of a few hours, well, then yes the results would likely be quite bad. TWD TV series has been very inconsistent on the specifics leaving us to make assumptions, speculate, or use the comic..sorry I meant to say "Graphic Novel" from which the script writers have varied considerably and at will. We could also argue about why body shots, like heart shots, don't affect them since for the muscles to work there has to be some circulatory system which means the heart should still be a vital organ but I won't go there.
