CDC: Zombies (and Censorship), Oh My!

You may have heard by now that the CDC's "Public Health Matters" blog had a posting about zombie preparedness. That post generated a lot of interest. It also generated a lot of comments pointing out that the CDC's ideas of how to prepare for a Zombie Apocalypse were severely flawed because they did not address the issue of how best to kill attacking zombies.

The CDC moved the blog post and deleted all of the comments. Between the "weapons" posts and maybe comments that probably pointed out that the CDC was of no use in the TV series "the Walking Dead", the CDC probably had all that it could stomach.

Smooth move, guys.

The one thing that CDC and all of those DHS-type disaster-preparedness guys assume is that no matter how bad things get, the cops and the National Guard are going to be able to maintain social order. History, however, would indicate otherwise. You may be utterly and completely on your own for several hours or days.

Up to you whether or not you want to prepare for that scenario.

  2. They're allergic to functioning brains. I suspect they'd have no trouble eating brains.

    And given that they are willing to destroy this nation so that the rich become richer, cannibalism may be in our future.
