Round and Round We Go, Where We Stop Nobody Knows

It's been a long time since I've been able to share any thoughts with the community here but this sort of place would be frowned on by work. The recession has had an effect on my work as it has on many other industries but even with fewer resources, we cannot afford to relent in this increasingly-tiring search for a cure. Some days it feels like every turn is a blind one and every medical discovery sheds light for other researchers but only leads us down another dead end. Yet we cannot afford to… Continue

A plague vaccine has been developed (although not by this research facility) which signifies great advances in finding a cure for zombie infection. Bubonic plague, which in some circles, has been postulated to be a variant of z-infection with similar bursting boils and high infection rates as well as blood infection, lung infection, pneumonia and death.

I continue to work on the theory that people have personalised reactions to infection. I still don't know if this means that we will need personalised or at least categorised cures.
