The bit where it says they would 'return England to its pre-attack glory' made me laugh

[bigpaul]

very interestingly they quote a figure of 30% of the population infected in a "pandemic"!

I thought the link was going to be about the boxing day sales

If we are actually living in the "pre-attack glory" now then you can keep it! roll on post attack, lets see what that brings..... surely it just can be any worse can it?

we want to be a bit further back than "pre-attack glory"!! if their quoting an affected rate of 30% we want/need more like 50% at least!!(and thats "die-off" not just affected)

ok not sure what im more worried about the facted that goverment departments actuly have a plan in place for a zombie attack or the fact they think they would be able to contain it with only a 30% infection rate, last year the police in the citys that had riots folded they could not contain the riots,
but now they would be able to contain 30% of the population if they where flesh eating zombies,

The thing is, they did not have a plan for it. The MOD were asked if they had a plan and they said it would be up to the cabinet office to co-ordinate. The cabinet office said 'We will try to fix it' - not much of a plan.

What would you expect the infection rate to be it if measure were taken to contain it? What is the rate of influenza infection each year? Maybe that is a bad measure, as people do not try to agressivly pass on influenza - well, unless they are a bit unstable.

In the UK I think around up to 15% of people get flu each year. If you doubled that, believe me, the country would be on its knees anyway, never mind if people were zombies.

Keep in mind being a zombie can be cured; influenza cannot.
