So we all want the zombie apocalypse to happen so we can shoot the brains out of zombies right? Great. Now we have to figure out how to go about doing that.
First, we have to see how possible it is to introduce a virus like the zombie virus into our world. What’s kind of scary is that there is something similar to a typical zombie virus like found in popular zombie movies like “I am Legend” or t.v. shows like “The Walking Dead”. It’s rabies. According to national geographic, “Like the mythical zombie virus, rabies is transferred through biting. Once inside your body, the virus travels directly to your brain and “makes you go nuts and go and bite more people.” This is similar, but not large scale and deadly enough to plague the entire planet.
The biggest possibility to create a zombie virus would be if two viruses joined together to form an unstoppable hybrid. Until that happens, we’ll all have to keep day dreaming about zombie land instead of living it.

This is by the far the most intriguing post that I’ve seen; however, I don’t believe that it will ever be possible to create a zombie virus.
I doubt there will ever be a zombie apocalypse within our lifetimes with how advanced the world is today. Organizations like WHO (World Health Organization) are constantly watching for virus and help to contain them and develop cures.
I do not think this is possible because people bodied decompose and turn to ash and bones. Thus it wouldn’t be possible for people to come back to life unless they come back as bones. With that being said that also wouldn’t be possible because without flesh and mussel, bones would not stay together without something supporting their joints thus this is not possible.
This “zombie” virus seems like it can be true, but then again it doesn’t seem like it could be. What the national geographic is saying may be true, but what are the odds of this virus happening? Has it actually happened to anyone yet? That is my question
It’s crazy how something can be right in front of you and you not notice that. I would have never stopped to think there was anything even remotely close to a zombie virus that could possibly infect us. When in fact there is. If you think about it, rabies are almost exactly like a zombie virus just not up to the extreme scale that we see in movies. It’s very interesting that you point that out because without this blog I would have never noticed that.
