The United States military installations that provide for our homeland security are secretly creating a “zombie” strain capable of mimicking the behaviors of the undead. Government officials will try to justify their means by using words like “National Security” to combat the biochemical agent threat. The viruses will mutate into new strains capable of spreading like a flu. The host will be naïve concerning the ill effects of the strain and only the military will have an experimental serum to treat the infected keeping it at bay. Bioterrorist use strains to gain a strategic or tactical advantage over their enemies. The world will be devastated by this phenomenon where reanimated corpses will eat the living. Nevertheless, military officials will fail to contain …show more content…
These cities will be helpless and largely overrun. This will create a severe disruption of economic and societal infrastructure of society. The strain will first infect the sewer rat fleas then attaching themselves to domestic animals leading to the human hosts. The scientific community that denies the likelihood of a zombie plague would be responsible for spawning its creation. Zombie picture shows have foretold of biochemical agents causing an epidemic. These agents will mutate and spread rapidly from city to city in a matter of days and global in a matter of months. The symptoms will depend on the concentrated areas of infection in each person and will be untreatable. People have their own hypothesis of how a strain is created. An outbreak will usually begin in a local community before becoming a pandemic. The infected areas would be stripped of all provisions in a matter of hours, including food and water. 911 dispatchers will be bombarded with hundreds of emergency calls as thousands will be contaminated within a matter of minutes. All EMS personnel will not be equip to treat the infected having human
Rats acted as vectors as they carried the infected fleas into the cities. One factor that influenced the spread was that in 1350 hygiene was inadequate and often food and faeces were left in the streets this meant that the cities ect was teeming with rats as they had an appropriate food source and habitat. Humans lived alone side rats but since the rats carried the fleas the fleas would bite the people who lived there thus infecting them. The next factor is that the rats began to die of the plague so household pets or other animals started feeding on them thus becoming infected. Since pets were becoming more common they had access to the household.
Entire town populations were desicrated. Ten million deaths roughly. A recent outbreak occured in the 20th century in the 1960's and 70's during the Vietnam war. As of 2008, a case of a 16 year old boy was confirmed to have the plague and was in the Sarharan
The human population is terrified of this happening in the 21st century, and the world could quite possibly come to an end if we have another Ebola scare like the one in The Hot Zone. I think
First Thoughts in the Zombie Apocalypse: This Sucks The zombie apocalypse is a fate that modern entertainment seems obsessed with exploring. It seems every summer a new hit blockbuster appears, covering the horrific details of yet another fictional outbreak of a disease which turns humans into mindless, cannibalistic shells of their former selves. The appeal of these stories is obvious – not only is the thought of our loved ones becoming mindless animals titillating and terrifying, when one watches these films one begins to question whether he or she could survive such an ordeal. The struggles are arduous, and many; could our society manage to work together against a common enemy, could it manage to exterminate those who were once loved family
Even though no one had cared about how sanitary the city was this was one of the reasons the disease spread. All the rotten foods and dead animals attracted mosquitoes which then spread the disease from one person to the next. Environment around the people did a major part in spreading the deadly
Task 2 C228 V2 Breanna Bras Western Governors University An example of a communicable disease outbreak that crossed international borders is the H1N1 influenza virus, also known as “swine flu”. The H1N1 flu outbreak was originally discovered in April 2009. The first known occurrence originated in Mexico and then was detected in the United States soon after. By May 2009, the H1N1 flu virus was confirmed to have spread to a total of 39 countries including: Spain, United Kingdom, Panama, Colombia, Brazil, Italy, China, France, Korea, New Zealand, Japan, Ireland, Germany, Argentina, El Salvador, Belgium, Denmark, Australia, Peru, Norway, India, Austria, Thailand Cuba, Sweden, Portugal, Ecuador, Finland, Guatemala, Israel, Malaysia, Netherlands, Turkey and Poland ("Latest news on swine flu", 2009).
By the 1960s, there were over 53 million households in the United States, and about 45.7 million of them had a TV. As a result, there became a much greater need for screenwriters and directors, leading to never-before-seen styles of storytelling as studios fought for views. Many writers looked to society for inspiration, using current events as overarching themes for their stories. Consequentially, these shows became artifacts of their historical period, reflecting societal motives and fears. One of the writers, Rod Serling, produced countless movies and shows that can be regarded as historical artifacts of the period.
Throughout time, many individuals and societies have come to know the one and only term that both science and literature have explored--zombies. This term has evolved into many different interpretations to the point where almost all individuals assume that a “zombie” is a false accusation, a fiction’s use for entertainment, a frivolous means to scaring society. Many cultures has skewed many minds into believing that a “zombie” apocalypse is impossible. But what if it is possible? Over time, both literature and science fiction has implemented a stereotypical undead “zombie” that has a stench of the grotesque decaying flesh and wonders around screeching in search for nothing but mushy brains to feast upon.
If there was a zombie film showing in the movies, I guarantee that the zombie film will be sold out. Zombies today are probably more popular than soap operas and reality television shows. They even have games based off of zombies such as Call of Duty: Zombies, Resident Evil, Rising Dead, and much more. Zombies are even popular in stores. I see people wearing shirts, pins, wrist bands, or anything that has anything to do with zombies.
In the film, we learn that the plague was introduced by a doctor, but only to a specific part, which was a military base. In the film, there is mention of the same separation in Jerusalem, of the uninfected Jews, but we do not get as much global information as we do in the novel. I think that the reason for this, was to give the movie an action vibe, as opposed to making it a cluster of interviews like the book did. If the film had followed the same foundation as the novel, I think it would have become more about the sort of ‘history lesson’ as opposed to the actual zombie threat. Because there is
In Theories of International Politics and Zombies, Dan Drezner applies fundamental international relations theories in the case of a hypothetical event of a zombie uprising. Drezner focuses on the how the different theories of international relations would approach the issue of zombies. Drezner tackles the case of the walking dead mainly using international relation theories: realism, liberalism, and social constructivism. Drezner starts with the realism, or realpolitik, theory, and describes how according to realism, the arrival of zombies would not affect the fundamental workings of global politics. Drezner first establishes that “all realists start with a common assumption—that anarchy is the overarching constraint of world politics,” meaning
Daniel W. Drezner’s ‘Theories of International Politics and Zombies’ is an interesting anecdote of the increasing fascination with zombies within the pop-culture realm. A professor of International Politics at the Fletcher School and a member of the Zombie Research Society, Drezner’s book draws upon current discussions in the international arena. Drezner deploys satire and humor to exemplify how various theories of international politics would tackle a situation in which the “flesh eating ghouls” walked the earth. He cleverly uses zombies as a tool to introduce every concept and as a means to deride the predictability of every theory. His chapters discuss theories of ‘Real Politik’, Liberalism, Neo-conservatism, Social Constructivism.
During the mid-fourteenth century, a plague hit Europe. Initially spreading through rats and subsequently fleas, it killed at least one-third of the population of Europe and continued intermittently until the 18th century. There was no known cure at the time, and the bacteria spread very quickly and would kill an infected person within two days, which led to structural public policies, religious, and medical changes in Europe. The plague had an enormous social effect, killing much of the population and encouraging new health reforms, it also had religious effects by attracting the attention of the Catholic Church, and lastly, it affected the trade around Europe, limiting the transportation of goods. As a response to the plague that took place
Interview Summary How Would One Map the Outbreak? During a zombie apocalypse, a map of the outbreak, where you are, or places you want to go would be useful. For each outbreak, building maps would help to answer questions such as: Where are tools to fight against the zombies found? Where do the outbreaks start?
But some zombies can be created by viruses’ and vu do. In the last of us (video game) the zombie outbreak was from a zombie ant. When the zombie ant bite someone fungal residue on a human’s face and other parts of the body. The virus took 60% of the human’s species. If you don’t want to see people grow mushrooms out of head fallow the steps and rules that will tell how to survive the ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!
