comical reply:
1. change name to chris/leon/barry or whatever.
2. look for a metal chest in a room with a typewriter
3. pray there is a minigun inside

actual reply:
rejoice in the fact that everyone loves ireland, so we wouldn't be ground zero. unless it was the british, but nobody likes them.

i don't know if it is possible, but yes rest assured that whenever you mention Ireland or Irish, people always go, oh what a nice place, such nice people, no one would want to use it here, so I think we are safe.


Do you thing these mad people could swim, then we could be in trouble couse England would be a prime location for an attack like that.:eek:

Hey maybe if they unleashed it on the irish we'd be cured....

Well, Siggy said a lot of things

While we wouldn't be ground zero, it's entirely conceivable that someone mad enough to do such a thing would also be stupid enough to do it without understanding that the disease would spread and contaminate the water supply elsewhere. There are some things that we silly humans happily play with, without really understanding the long term consequences, and biological warfare is one of them.

One key advantage to such a scenario is that we'd have a head start to prepare. I'd hope to have built up significant stocks of water before the disease hits Ireland, or to develop a filtration system - in addition, of course, to regular zombie-preparation tactics. If I didn't have access to disease-free water, I'd have to shoot meself rather than face a future of zombiehood or death from thirst.

The main problem I see with the rage type of infected people, like those in 28 days later and 28 weeks later is that the tactics for surviving such an outbreak have to be absolutely spot on. AS you are not dealing with a regular, slow moving Z your only rela option is finding somewhere relatively small, like a house or flat with good rations as any travel in this situation is totally out of the question, try to fortify your HQ it as best as possible and hope they dont find you.

All the usual Z precautions apply, like knock your stairs and try hide inthe attic but if you have access to a house or proerty with more then 1 floor this would provide you with in advantage IMO over the rage type infected.

In essence your dealing with a terminator of types, if the movies are anything to go by these foes can be killed and dealt with like a Z but unlike a Z, offer human like ability to climb and run which is something that is impossible to deal with if there numbers are larger then maybe half a dozen.

My mum's attics have retractable stairs. It doesn't even look like it's open when it's closed up. The zeds would have to very intelligent (to figure out how to get up), very manually dextrous (to open it up), and exceedingly thorough (to check) - a sort of flesh-eating Gestapo. In such an instance, we're all zombie-food.

Come Z-Day I'm driving hell for leather to Cabinteely and inviting family/friends over but submitting them to strip-searches for Zombie bites. Any hint of a mark and they'll have to be restrained and guarded for an incubation period of at least 48 hours. Suffice to say that, as the most zed-prepared of anyone I know, I'll be ruling my Anne Frank paradise like a tyrant.

Evolute

Id prefer to knock out the stairs and stick myself in the attic only as a last resort keep to the upstairs of the house until they start piling up then go for the attic cause I gotta be honest I don't like the idea of being stuck in an attic with aload of my friends and family because enclosed spaces with your immediate family and friends? I forsee a Psychotic episode in the making don't any of you?

Fixed that for you

If it happens to be a disease/virus that turns peole into the rage type foes then its safe to say your chances of survival are greatly reduced. Lets all hope if it came to it that we have a Z day outbreak rather then a rage one.
