A Scientific Model Of What A Zombie Apocalypse Would Look Like (And Where Not To Hide)
Zerohedge ^ | 3/24/15 | Tyler Durden

The best spots for riding out a zombie apocalypse are sparsely populated areas of Montana and Nevada, which remain untouched even four months, according to a new study by researchers at Cornell University who have developed a statistical model for simulating the spread of a fictional zombie epidemic. As The WSJ reports, with real-life applications to modeling viral outbreaks, Cornell offer dire warnings for those who live in Scranton, PA - with northeastern Pennsylvania as the U.S. location most at risk of being overrun by the undead.

A secluded beet farm seems like a good place.

I can supply two, possibly three marksmen.

Can you sail a boat?

A whole archipelago of islands to choose from and hunt on. The added bonus is the fact that most people head toward warmer regions in times of trouble.

I suspect a zombie would rot in a week in summer down south

Drumond is bigger and closer to the mainland. As a bonus not as close to a larger population area.

I’m thinking Washington DC is the most likely area to be overrun by brain-dead zombies, mostly because it already IS.

It has already started. Half the voting population voted for Obama last election.

ASSUMING it was an honest election.

You have to ask yourself if this is soooooooo out there, why all the studies?

So the Agenda 21 people can 'rewild' these areas with top tier predators that don't mind human for dinner...wolves, cougar, bears...

I can head shoot a zombie from 100 yards out but don’t know nuthin about sail boats.

If you have enough people you could probably secure Grand Traverse peninsula. Its only about 1500 yards at the base.

Would zombies freeze in cold weather?

yep.

Would freezing their brain kill them?

Nope. They're already dead, remember. It would slow them down until spring, though, and that would make winter the best time to go whacking zombies.

We are living in the Zombie apocalypse right now!

Millions of brainless voters roaming the streets, never building only consuming the brains and work of others. They are not dead and yet not really alive in a sentient manner. They cannot do math, do not know history and have never met a logical fallacy that they did not love. They are under the spell of the voodoo media and the Democrat party they watch PMSNBCBSCAAABC and spend hours a day on "social media" like facebook. They have no will of their own, they crave not liberty or art only the mindless sustenance of soulless entertainment, fornication and government provided birth control. The walking dead are everywhere, protect your brain or loose it to the horde!

LOL! We went without power a few times living on the Space Coast due to hurricane induced power outages (brought to us by glow bull warming no doubt) and yes, they would rot. We almost did.

Unlimited fresh water as well. Northern MN or Ontario has always been my “bug out” location.

Old mission peninsula at the base is hilly wooded and full of houses. Would take some clearing to make good fields of fire.

The best place would be right down Eastern Ave. Holding that would be the best location. Pretty much runs from East Bay to West Bay. One end has a house and the other I believe is a public beach.

I’ve always thought when TSHTF and it becomes a lot of work to keep warm in winter, the Entitlement Army will migrate south.

So your strategy is in agreement with that.

"Zombie" is the politically correct term for a class which cannot in modern America be honestly discussed.
