    its good to see that that the government is finally taking this seriously :D


    http://rt.com/usa/news/maine-zombie-apocalypse-drill-630/


    Emergency officials in Maine have taken part in a training exercise in preparation for a zombie apocalypse. This comes just weeks after the federal government publicly denied the existence of zombies.

    ­Around 100 emergency responders from eight different counties participated in the event in the quiet city of Bangor.


    The premise: an unknown virus originating from Jamaica has reached Maine, turning the infected into zombies. Once infected, the virus quickly spreads to the brain, and turns the host into a full-fledged zombie, who has only one thing on its mind: biting other people.


    The officials were armed with two would-be vaccines – one to prevent the infection from reaching the brain, and one to bring the zombies back to life......

    Well, yes. The whole point of the forum is to imagine what an outbreak in Ireland would be like and prepare for it. :p

    indeed, there hasnt been any confirmed outbreaks here yet. My internet scanning software did come up with some references to someone "eating the face off your wan" but I dont think it was Zombie related

    Indeed, my worry would be the people supposed to be protecting it!
