NEW QUESTION:
How many of the "currently dead" will rise?
Me personally, I dont think any of the already dead will arise. I think the Z-virus will only affect the living, and convert them into walkers. I think there will be a period where they "appear" dead, but that will just be the virus taking root. I also dont believe you will have to have a head shot to kill them. A center mass shot, taking out the heart and/or lungs, will more than likely stop them in their tracks. I dont think they will feel pain, so they will probably continue to walk with broken legs and feet, but I also think that if they bleed out
through a gaping wound, that will eventually stop them as well. They wont be that much different than you and me, except for the fact that they will be infected with the virus and the virus will "re-wire" their brains. The virus will be like a record with a scratch, and just keep repeating the same thing over and over- feed, feed, feed, feed.
I also think the virus will affect mostly the brain of the living. The changing of skin color, the ratty clothes and flesh hanging off of them wont happen. It might change their eyes being so close to the brain, but thats about it. This will be why they wont be able to remember people, or have enough coordination to run, and for the most part will be easy to evade. They wont be able to put simple thoughts together, so climbing and swimming will be like Algebra to them. At the same time, this is what will make them dangerous, because all they will think about is feeding.
My only question is why human flesh? Unless they were cannibals before they turned, why would the simple need to feed involve the eating of human flesh? Theres no part of our day to day lives where a person thinks about trying to eat another person. (insert your jokes here). Now I am to believe that this virus not only takes over the brain and rewires it, but it rewires it for the taste of human flesh?
Whatever happens, I think that the walkers will be easy to kill. Pain wont stop them, but other than that, I believe that anything that will kill a human, will kill them as well.
Another question I have is how will the first initial z-virus start? Will it be in the water? In the food supply? Will it be an airborne gas? Theres got to be something that starts the virus spreading.
Its kind of like AIDS. We as humans went 1000's and 1000's of years with no AIDS virus. Then all of sudden in the early 1980's, there was a wide spread AIDS epidemic. Why? What is it? I personally think it was a government made virus (made for defense) that was released to see what the effects would be and just got out of hand.
Of course this is just my opinion and means nothing.
