I think its probably because the idea of a zombie apocalypse pretty much covers the whole breakdown of society.

In the event of a zombie apocalypse, I'm heading for one of the larger islands in the great lakes.

Even four months in, remote areas of Montana and Nevada remain zombie free.

But what if the outbreak STARTS in a remote area of Montana or Nevada?

“with real-life applications to modeling viral outbreaks”

Thats why.

Could be any number of bio weapons that Iran has or is working to obtain.

The best spots for riding out a zombie apocalypse are sparsely populated areas of Montana and Nevada, which remain untouched even four months...

Is research into what would go down in the event of a pandemic being called a zombie apocalypse to make it sound trendy, so horror fans will pay attention? That is the most logical thing I could come up with, but I’m more into reality than into zombies/vampires/werewolves, etc, so I really don’t get it...

?I’ve only been to Scranton on my way to Florida. If it were over run by Zombies I am sure one could tell. It might even be an improvement.

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.

Funny, how the original "Night of the Living Dead" (1968) was filmed in rural Pennsylvania...

The article says: “As The WSJ reports, with real-life applications to modeling viral outbreaks...”

So they are using the Cornell model to study the track of a viral disease.

I watch Walking Dead to spot new ways to defend myself and my household. Yeah, I have a long machete. :o)

This study is flawed. The best place to be is not in the middle of nowhere, since that only postpones the inevitable. The best place to be is where the zombies can never reach you... on an island.

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

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

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.

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.

I’m thinking Washington DC is the most likely area to be overrun by brain-dead zombies, mostly because it already IS.

So the Agenda 21 people can 'rewild' these areas with top tier predators that don't mind human for dinner...wolves, cougar, bears...
