CDC To America: How to Prepare for a Zombie Apocalypse
18 replies, posted
I know, this is late.
Reading TIME's headlines, came across this recent one:
[QUOTE]"There are all kinds of emergencies out there that we can prepare for. Take a zombie apocalypse for example. That's right, I said z-o-m-b-i-e a-p-o-c-a-l-y-p-s-e," wrote Dr. Ali S. Khan, a specialist in infectious disease, in the latest update on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Public Health Matters blog.
The first step in preparing for a zombie attack — or for that matter a hurricane or pandemic — is to put together an emergency kit. "This includes things like water, food and other supplies to get you through the first couple of days before you can locate a zombie-free refugee camp," Khan wrote.
You can't say government scientists don't have a sense of humor — or a healthy interest in genre fiction. (Khan's favorite zombie movie, he says, is Resident Evil.)
The CDC's "Zombie Apocalypse" post, which was published on Monday, got so much traffic that the agency's servers couldn't handle it, the New York Times reported. "A typical post gets 1,000 hits," CDC spokesman David Daigle told the Times. "We got 10,000, then 30,000 on Tuesday, and then it crashed the server."[/QUOTE]

Oh, so those FEMA concentration camps are for zombies, not dissidents?
Cool.

No it's for when the NWO takes over the world and starts executing 80% of the population for no reason :rolleyes:

Oh okay, thought it was the reptilian breeding grounds once they take over the earth.
Wait are you denying that those camps are almost certainly for dissidents in the event of mass political destabilization?

So... what do you believe their purpose is, and do you think that continuity of government plans have no implementation at all?
The government is hinting at something.
Jesus Fucking Christ, how many people are going to be posting this? I don't know whether to find it funny or annoying that apparently nobody goes past the first page of these forums.
I think its a clever idea to get people to be more aware about preparing for a disaster. It gets them interested because it mixes comedy with seriousness, which helps keep people's attention and helps them to remember it. Instead of reading a one of hundreds of boring reports on how to prepare for a natural disaster, you can read a pretty funny report on how to prepare for a zombie apocalypse, but still be learning how to prepare for a natural disaster.
