No infected, no dead?

[Grenartia]

So, a lot of us managed to clear our regions of Zacks, but did your region manage to do it with no dead? If so, when? And how many survivors did you have left?

Ankh Mauta, by my reckoning, was the first largest region to do it (we weren't the first, nor were we the largest, but no region larger than us got it first), and we managed it 18 hours in, with 300.8 billion survivors (we ended with 315.3 billion).

So, come on, NS. Lets compare notes.

[AU912 zombie survival bunker HQ]

AU912 ZOMBIE SURVIVAL BUNKER achieved zero infected, zero dead just before the 24-hour mark.

end-of-event stats:
nations: 7
people: 21.212 billion
zombies: 0
dead: 0

[Ioudaia]

We got close: 98 million dead out of 37 billion people.

Edit: The last zombie was passively cured overnight, about 16 hours in.

[Holy Marsh]

I wanted there to be more dead in our region. I know a lot of people tally it as a defeat if someone dies, but ICly we consider someone who was once infected but is 'cured' tainted biology. Marshites who were cured will not be allowed to procreate.

Respectable.

Close only counts with nukes and hand grenades.

Remind me to not let you into Ankh Mauta next year.

At first I intended to keep a cute little handful of zombies, then my region purged them for me.

Did they cure or kill?

[Sunlandic]

I was somewhat disappointed by the game setup.

Cures should of taken at least 2-3 times longer than extermination squads to achieve.

I don't feel 0 losses is realistic for any sort of zombie scenario.

Of course they cured. The zombie number was too small anyway.

No infected, no dead?

Yes, we got that in Funen: we managed that in just 11 hours.

Actually, as late as this time last year, my biggest concern was that the cure wouldn't actually work this time around.

As for the actual speediness, I pin that on people having advance warning and the knowledge to boost their education and healthcare budgets as far as they could go. I ran my healthcare budget all the way up to 35% and was one of AM's leading cure researchers.

Well, if its any consolation, your Zacks probably would've been passively cured anyways, even if nobody took any action.

Yeah, I recall seeing your region's name come up when I looked at the tally board to see if/when anybody else got a NIND. Nice job on doing it before us, btw (even if we managed to do it with more pixels ).

[Hegglesdom]

While there were only 45 billion people living in My Pants at the time, we managed to get down to 0 infected and 0 dead somewhere between 8 and 9 hours through. At that point, we were curing at a rate of roughly 50 billion per hour, so you can extrapolate how long it would have taken given a larger population from there.

[Indian Empire]

I was in Neo Pacific Union at the apocalypse. 0 infected, 0 dead, of course.

[Havensky]

Texas was pretty close - 1.52 trillion survivors, 0 infected, and only 3.5 million dead. I think the only dead occurred from some nations in our regions choosing to fight the zombies rather than do the cure option.

[The Pacifican Islands]

Yup in the New Study Group. No infected but 500 so million dead
