MysteryMike Posted March 8, 2021 #2 Share Posted March 8, 2021 After the stupidity brought upon folks not taking COVID seriously. I'm fairly convinced a zombie apocalypse could indeed be the fall of mankind. 2 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiff Posted March 8, 2021 #3 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Well I'm just hoping they move as slowly as they do in the movies, dragging one leg behind them. I'll soon outrun them. (I'll be carrying a pool cue though, just in case) 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stupidity of humanity shows no boundaries. 1 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seti42 Posted March 8, 2021 #5 Share Posted March 8, 2021 It wouldn't be like the walking dead...More like 28 days later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jethrofloyd Posted March 8, 2021 #6 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I hopes that people will not be so stupid and after a year or so start organizing the Zombi parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon the frog Posted March 8, 2021 #7 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Mixing ebola and rabies would be interesting to have better looking zombies ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acute Posted March 8, 2021 #8 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I'm not too worried about a Zombie Apocalypse, so long as the females are hot. 1 3 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom1200 Posted March 8, 2021 #9 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I had a quick scan of the paper (Rabies) but it didn't add anything to the clickbait title. So it is possible, because it would be incorrect to call it impossible. We could apply that logic to a thousand more-plausible scenarios that will most probably never happen either. But amidst the overall frivolity of the theory there is a rather ominous section: The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2003, in China ... led some eminent scientists to conclude that the SARS virus might have been produced under laboratory conditions. Would a mutated Rabies virus ... characterized by facilitated human-to-human transmission, faster incubation, enhanced neurotoxicity and predisposing towards aggressive highly behaviours, become the most lethal biological agent that humans have ever faced? Although published last month, the paper was written in January 2020, just before Covid started leaking out... Of course we know that Covid is of 100% natural origin, don't we? 1 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ercbreeze Posted March 9, 2021 #11 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I thought zombies are the dead that came to back to life? People with rabies are still alive . . . 1 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't there a short documentary or something that showed scientists from Wuhan experimenting on bats, trying to recreate a virus? I'm sure I saw it somewhere, I think it was Italian. Does anyone remember this? 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpenMindedSceptic Posted March 9, 2021 #13 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Here we go, yet more government backed, fear based nonsense. This story will never become a reality unless dreamt up by the behavioural nudge teams and a sociopathic government. 1 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trihalo42 Posted March 10, 2021 #14 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I always felt that something between candida and cordyceps would be the way to go, driving people into a murderous rage while seeking sugar. 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God forbid something between those two fungi mutates and becomes our living nightmare. We would not stand a chance, mushrooms are already the silent rulers of our planet, all they have to do is speed up the process of conquering all humans!!

And can't let a good zombie apocalypse go to waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperionxvii Posted March 13, 2021 #18 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Talking about how ridiculous the media can be. Am I the only one who remembers back in the 90s how every local news channel always had a scare monger story about the latest scariest drug 'sweeping the nation'. I remember one that turned people into crocodiles. No seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
