The SCIENCE! Behind the Zombie Apocalypse

Dreams of societal collapse, zombie apocalypse, or some other form of break down is a fantasy for many.  They get to pull out the guns and go crazy.

What should scare everyone is a modern day Spanish Flu.  A modern day pandemic that is resistant to our currently deployed medicines would spread rapidly due to globalization, get into our country before we could stop it and would break everything from our education system, health/medical facilities, Wall Street and even jeopardize our national defense.

Want to know what's scary?  Having a stockpile of weapons when what you really need is a N95 surgical respiratory mask (w/valve).

Regardless.  Talking zombies is fun.
