The researchers used a number of techniques that are used when modeling real diseases, and the abstract ends with this dismal line: "We build up to a full scale simulation of an outbreak in the United States, and discover that for 'realistic' parameters, we are largely doomed." But Phys.Org relays a glimmer of hope by way of Alex Alemi, a grad student involved in the research: He says those who want to remain safe from the undead for as long as they can should head to the northern Rockies.
He explains that while books and movies typically show an outbreak touching all corners of the country immediately, "in our attempt to model zombies somewhat realistically, it doesn't seem like this is how it would actually go down." Yes, major cities could be toast within days, but less populated areas could be unaffected for weeks, and the northern Mountain Time Zone could be safe for months.

Always remember, cardio and double tap.
Zombies are not real, are they?
Under the bed. It’s so obvious, that it’s not obvious. Besides, zombies are terrified of dust bunnies.
Why, of course not, dear.
Now close that silly book about B. Hussein Obama's voter base and go to sleep!
Research projects must be be determined only by the amount of funds that could be put to use. If this is the best Cornell can come up with,it’s time to kick the tires,light the fires & head on home.
I’m curious just how much taxpayer money did these “researchers” get for their grant to do this study?
Seriously? Zombies?
I’m getting so damn sick of this....
What happens when your batteries die? You probably already know this but Cracked also had an article on 7 reasons a zombie apocalypse would fail.
It all depends on the plot/story-line of the series/movie you are watching...
