[Question/Idea] The Zombie Apocalypse

[Tillania]

...because it's never too early to ask.

What I always wanted to know:
If I choose to research a cure, are the 'Scientific Advancement' and 'Healthcare' stats factored in?
If I choose to exterminate Zombies, are the 'Law Enforcement' and 'Defence Forces' stats factored in?

If the answer is 'no': doesn't this sound like a good idea? (assuming it isn't too difficult to code)

The nature of zombie apocalypses are never fully clear until they actually happen. They may differ in sometimes subtle ways, even though those are not really a concern when a roaming band of animated corpses moves in on your position while gurgling 'Braaains, BRAAAAAIIINS...!'
