Zombie outbreak would be ‘disastrous’: mathematicians
David Wylie, Canwest News Service

Their conclusion?
“An outbreak of zombies infecting humans is likely to be disastrous, unless extremely aggressive tactics are employed against the undead,” says the paper, titled When Zombies Attack! Mathematical Modelling of an Outbreak of Zombie Infection.
“Thus, if zombies arrive, we must act quickly and decisively to eradicate them before they eradicate us.”
