Mexico recently hit the Sentinel radar with

How long does it take for infection to take hold? How soon do zombies lose motor skills? (If traditionalists are to be believed that zombies are slow shambling creatures). It appears that a recently infected person/zombie was involved in an altercation with a cyclist. Although he was still able to drive, he was clearly infected as he
bit the cyclist's ear off. Had the infection taken complete hold of…

With plenty of attention recently being drawn to the UK's anti-zombie activites,
voices in the US have started questioning their state of preparedness and are calling for Obama to engage the country in an awareness programme. Whether this will be done or not remains to be seen but at least voices are making themselves heard.

The UK continues to be a hotbed of activity with 13 patients dead and another 17 infected at Eastbourne District Hospital. Although the claim of the cause of outbreak is Super C. difficile, it may well be that this is merely a smokescreen for a possibly-contained attack in a target-rich environment. It is noted that some of the patients who died were being treated for conditions which they should have quickly recovered from. Similarities have been drawn to a previous "outbreak" at Maidstone and…

Curfew has been imposed on the citizens of Andhra Pradesh since October 10th - relaxed only for a few hours today to allow people to purchase essentials. The reason given was due to violent communal clashes but with total lockdown, it is difficult to ascertain whether the reason may be more sinister. It may be that the citizens are being isolated as quarantine measures. If anyone has further information, it would be most interesting to hear more.

Georgia is the latest US State to start
preparations for zombie attack by using the flu pandemic model to look at school closures and food distribution but with the infected only being one per household, Georgia may have vastly underrated the rapid spread of infection. Still, if this is indeed the aim of its model, Georgia can only be applauded for its preparedness.

Zombies would make good soldiers. Tireless, strong beyong a human's experiences, possess inbuilt psychological weapons and more than happy to eat those they wound, striking even greater terror into the foe.

He said the widespread practice of cannibalism was not a food issue but people were eaten often as part of a post-battle rage.
