The best spots for riding out a zombie apocalypse are sparsely populated areas of Montana and Nevada, which remain untouched even four months, according to a new study by researchers at Cornell University who have developed a statistical model for simulating the spread of a fictional zombie epidemic. As The WSJ reports, with real-life applications to modeling viral outbreaks, Cornell offer dire warnings for those who live in Scranton, PA - with northeastern Pennsylvania as the U.S. location most at risk of being overrun by the undead.

Because the Zombie Apocalypse is already happening. That's how Obama got elected twice. I'm not kidding, see for yourself....

Until a zombie bites an alligator, then you have zombie gators to worry about!

Because everyone knows what the zombies really represent. We just can’t say it in our PC world.

I think they’d probably just migrate. Or maybe they would dig in and hibernate.

I have one of these!

Awful lot of Zombies among us already, just go into a populated area for a few hours. Just throwing in a bit of humor, thanks for all the updates.
To: driftdiver
In the book World War Z, the zombies froze in the winter but thawed and re-animated in the spring.

I have a similiar one and used it to dehusk a coconut I found down at the beach. It was fun!

I wanted to live on Beaver Island. Until I saw the housing costs. Did you know that they used to have a king there?

Just seems like the freezing of the brain cells would cause enough damage to kill them (again).
Unless they dont have any water in their brain cells.

In the zombie apocalypse housing costs wouldn’t be too bad.
If the zombies have already infected the current population of Beaver Island we’ll need someone who can handle a sailboat, several thousand rounds of ammo, and 4 or 5 marksmen.
We can moor the boat or boats in the harbor and make noise to draw the zombies to the shoreline and pick them off. There are only about 700 year round inhabitants so it shouldn’t take long to clear the island.
Drummond Island would be good too.

They aren’t really studies so much as frames for discussion. The correct method of handling various crises is a pretty common thing to work through models, zompoc is just a convenient set of crises (big disease, riot groups, societal collapse) that most folks are at least somewhat familiar with. So it’s a handy frame of reference.

So wait till you have a good freeze and wipe them out.
I think Drummond Island would be better than Beaver Island.

Zombies just walk across the bottom of the ocean. Scene has played out in numerous movies which were based on scientific fact.
/s on the fact part.

You would think that since the only organ operating was a malfunctioning brain, they would rot away to nothing inside a few months.
