A dog would be able to tell the difference between who's petting and feeding it and who's trying to eat its brains.

Someone who carrying a disease but not infected by it would act different from a regular person.

False by definition. If you're acting differently then you're showing symptoms. If you're asymptomatic, a carrier, then you might well be unaware that you're infected at all. See: Typhoid Mary.

Nah, the prison is a pretty legit option. They're designed to be difficult to get into or out of, and to keep the people already inside in one place. The guards are already trained and equipped to suppress violence among the prisoners, up to a point. The prisoners have every motivation to cooperate with the guards, the better to actually stay alive during the zombie apocalypse and maybe be granted their freedom afterwards. If there is an afterwards. There'd probably be some medical staff on hand too, who'd be better than most at diagnosing any infectees. They'd have food, too. Prisons have a lot going for them.

Nope. Either the guards and/or prisoners are running the place as a fortress, in which case you are shot as you try to approach, or it's a big empty complex, in which case you can't run it by yourself while still keeping a lookout, much less

Best case scenario, you're let into the fortress society, but the prison, which was not chosen with "good farmland" in mind, has no food, supplies, etc after a month or two, and everyone dies. That is, if the zombies haven't figured out a way in, and if the residents haven't all killed each other first.

When the supplies in the prison run low, the people there can start raiding the local town. When that runs out, they can go join you in the wilderness. Assuming you made it there at all and survived.

I'd get a shotgun and lock myself in a basement with a lot of food, batteries, a radio, and a large amount of batteries. Then I'd wait until the zombies deteriorated. Because dead stuff deteriorates.

But it really depends on what type of zombie we're talking about. Supernatural Zombies, or just rabid corpse zombies? Because if it's supernatural zombies, than I'd commit suicide. If it was rabid corpse zombie, then the basement idea is better.

[Gauntleted Fist]

Anyway, what's your plan?

Teach myself how to activate nuclear weapons, walk onto an Air Force base after the apocalypse begins, blow everything up.

More modern idea on zombies is more of rabid mutant humans that have lost basic brain functions and motor control due to some strange biological disease.So they would probably be around for decades before they start to deteriorate.

Or about a couple of weeks once they starved to death.

Quicker depending on the climate. Heatstroke/ hypothermia would be just as lethal as it would be to any human..

Join up with Obama and his ass kicking experts.

[Greater Tezdrian]

I have cerebral palsy, so escape/evasion/defense/offense really isn't viable. Pray, I guess. Before suicide by makeshift explosion.

Assuming that this outbreak happens so fast and so severely that the British military and police force is overwhelmed I'm not sure what I could do.

Become a zombie and achieve dominance over the Earth.

Grab a machete and die like a man?

[Syleru]

Of course, France would die first.

So I would travel over to their kick-ass German neighbors while drinking brandy and mowing down zombies with my MP40/STG44 combo, while hurling Molotov cocktails at their undead flesh bodies.

General thinking is they longer need food or water, that the mutantion has removed almost all human needs or functions from the infected.keeping the infected alive threw the manipulation and protection of the brain.Besides It wouldn't be hard to find food when you have all those peesky survivors running around all over the place.

Where would one find a machete in a small historic Lincolnshire market town?

For your Idea, what's Worse than Cannibalistic People with Rotting flesh who won't die? Cannibalistic People with Rotting flesh who won't die who are on fire.

And the fact that a person can only throw so far pretty much assures that the zombie will at least reach the person that throws the Molotov.

A bat? A crowbar? A large knife?
A leg off a school desk?

Send your council an FOI request about zombie attack preparation.

I'm sure they can help.

Not even grenades would be effective as the main focus of the grenade is shrapnel. Shrapnel doesn't work to well on someonething that feels no pain.

I think I'd rather embrace the horde as a brother united by rot and undeath. Barhah!

Maybe if you bathe yourself in radiation you can look and smell like a zombie but still have function over yourself. But you'd have to avoid radiation hence forth otherwise you become feral.. but at least you'll live awhile.

[Glasgia]

Lets just say my plan involves a lot of petrol and a lighter...

This was JUST covered.. Even if you blow off limbs as long as the head stays intact the body will continue to try to keep moving. They don't feel pain, and a zombie on FIRE clawing at you is worse then not.
