We are trained by civilization to be upset, depressed and in poor shape when a loved oen dies...imagine the loved one dies and then comes back and kills three more of your loved ones, how stable do you imagine you are going to be?The detah rate in the U.S. is 8.26.  that means every year 8.26 of a thousand people die. In a country with 300,000 million or so people 6700 people die every day. Any given day there are about 20,000 corpsed laying about unburied.  The first wave would be several thousand isolated zombie attacks of lone or small numbers of zombies, there would be no capability for any authority to respond to this. by the time any vaguely coordinated information coudl be gathered ( in 1 or 2 days) there would be another 6,700 to 12,000 zombies scattered all over the country not to mention those that would be passing on from zombie contagion, the additional deaths caused by disruption of services.   Unless there is an amazing herculean effort and a genius with an iron will in command and a populace willing to act against their deeply ingrained moral, ethical and emotional behaviors civiliztion is going bye bye.</blockquote>
