[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 7842110, member: 6802378"] Allow me to break the suspension of disbelief. Impossible a contagious disease whose incubation period is less 24 hours. It would be like a mammal specie with only a week of gestation. A zombie created by toxic products or radiation can't be "contagious" if there is no self-replicant/reproductive pathogen. The coffins from the cemeteries are hermetically sealed, and the reanimated corpses should too weak to surface, worse when most of them are old people. Supernatural force is impossible for zombies with scientific origin. Zombies not only have a horrible smell and pale skin. Their senses and nervous system also would be degenerated. They would like as drunken, not even could walk, and too blind and deaf to detect you. After two days the body would be so dehydrated their bites without saliva couldn't infect. Virus and germs need living cells. Zombies shouldn't "survive" after a year with cold winter, hot summer, without enough water nor food. They can't resist subzero temperatures because the ice breaks the cell walls. Easy trap for zombies: a singing bird in a jail over a pitchfall, but warning if the pit if full. Better the jail hooked in a rope between two high building, with a gangplank toward the source of the sound... they you have hordes of zombies doing "balconing" with they try to be closer to the jail, a safer world but with a dirtier street pavement.
