We aren't that bad off if zombies take over the world

Dear Zombie Master,

In zombie movies where the dead have risen from their graves and taken over the world I don't think it's too much of a problem. Zombies are a great threat, but aren't zombies only a temporary problem? The average zombie will most likely deteriorate in 3-10 years, so in the end we inherit the earth again.

Zombie Master don't you think after the first initial attack where we weren't expecting a wide spread zombie epidemic we shouldn't we be able to control the outbreak.

A Fan,

Actually, the answer to your second question will answer your first. Because of the immense supply of stupid people in the world, the zombie epidemic will grow exponentially. Panic, misinformation and the total inability to heed warnings will play a big part in this. One of the best examples comes from Kevin Davis who created this simulation in 2003. http://kevan.org/proce55ing/zombies/

Because of this you will no longer be facing just the "coming out of the grave" undead but also the newly undead which will have a much longer lifespan.

Me personally, I do not feel like waiting around for them to deteriorate. That is the reason for...

Good hunting and aim high,

The Zombie Master
