How would it happen? What can you do?

1. How would it happen? What can you do?

2. Introduction The truth is that what we see in movies is more than likely not going to be true. Any kind of mass anarchy would likely result in a similar situation as a literal zombie apocalypse.

3. Is it even Possible? • The quick answer is yes • The conventional slow dead zombie is not possible • The best answer is a mixture of Rabies and HIV • Most likely as a result of pharmaceutical research http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbpjH4XCG3c

4. The Nitty Gritty about the Disease The stages of infection of Rabies could lead to violence by the 3rd day Could take years or days to show symptoms that point specifically to the virus HIV quickly takes over host cells by mutating from host to host Could also take years to manifest Combined these could make many different viruses that would cross species and deteriorate the brain and/or immune system

5. Symptoms • Longer infections produce less serious effects • Extreme aggression • Complete break from reality • Paranoia

6. Tips for Survival One thing to remember is there is power in numbers. The benefit we have from having a militarily prepared government is that safe houses will be set up. The trick to being able to survive long enough to get to these places is to stay in a group. Remember it is a disease and it can be transferred by blood so weapons that allow you to keep a distance is wise.

7. Things That You Want To Bring Number one is a first aid kit with plenty of alcohol and bandages. If you can have Antibiotics as well Bottled water, lessens the chances of falling ill while in the world Canned food, if the disease crosses species you will want canned food. Weapons(Of Course) Long range weapons are preferred for your personal safety If you want comfort bring toilet paper

8. Finding Food • You can't keep a lifetime supply of canned food so knowing what you can and cannot eat in the wild is vital. • Helianthus tuberosus (Right) • Corylus cornuta (Left) • Books are available that can instruct you on finding and preparing wild food

9. Riding it Out If you plan to ride out the storm some things you need... A reinforced safe place with a good ventilation system Traps, like bear pits can give you time if you do need to escape If you have access to one a system that pumps directly from a well to your safe room Stock up on non-perishables You will want to be stocked with plenty of medicines and first aid products Sanitation is an issue if you plan to stay in a safe house you will want to find a way to dispose of wastes that does not compromise safety.

10. Things to Remember • If a pharmaceutical company is responsible there is likely a cure. • We are not yet advanced in technology enough to create Resident Evil mutants. • If you lose hope it is truly the End.
