I don’t understand the zombie obsession taking place in our society. How much time and effort was put into this scientific study?

When are people going to start realizing that zombies aren’t real, and the zombie apocalypse is NOT coming?

Zombies are popular, and at least a few epidemiologists are taking advantage of that popularity to teach people about disease transmission. The zombies are not real, but disease transmission is very real.

The CDC also has a guide to surviving a zombie apocalypse on its website. Again, it is using a fiction to teach about a real idea (surviving a disaster).

Why not use zombies to make teaching dry subjects fun?

The CDC also thinks any incidents involving guns are a “disease”.
