I don’t know whether to laugh as a fan of all things zombie or cry as a citizen at the waste of time and taxpayer dollars, but for what it’s worth if a zombie apocalypse does ever happen the CDC has a plan:

If zombies did start roaming the streets, CDC would conduct an investigation much like any other disease outbreak. CDC would provide technical assistance to cities, states, or international partners dealing with a zombie infestation. This assistance might include consultation, lab testing and analysis, patient management and care, tracking of contacts, and infection control (including isolation and quarantine). It’s likely that an investigation of this scenario would seek to accomplish several goals: determine the cause of the illness, the source of the infection/virus/toxin, learn how it is transmitted and how readily it is spread, how to break the cycle of transmission and thus prevent further cases, and how patients can best be treated.

Personally, I’d recommend picking up this. Don’t rely on the government to save you. Be self-sufficient.

Besides, when have you ever seen a zombie move where the government’s efforts to protect the citizenry worked?
