Because we're SoL if they're Return of the Living Dead variety.

And by the time people have their cameras out, it would look like a mass riot. Not many security tapes that'll have quality footage either. Maybe some ATM cameras.

Yes, a riot definetly looks like a lot of slowly walking groaning people covered in blood, missing or fucked up limbs, and those people eating other people.

There'd be no way to beat those zombies. Unless you feel like nuking everything.

Not even that. Nukes only spread their contagion into the atmosphere and cause it to fall as rain, remember? Unless your aim is to kill everything else Halo style? Which would be a valid strategy.

Barring that, the best way to deal with that lot would be to try and get yourself infected in such a way as to retain as much bodily integrity as possible. You're going to be that way for a while, after all.

But, of course, if they are WWZ zombies, you would want to infect yourself with HIV or something.

28 days zombies: stockpile supplies and wait.

Dawn zombies: go to the mall, apparently.

Crossed: head to Alaska and pray.

You'd be able to hear them a mile away a result of the swarms of flies that'll follow the corpses around, and even if the flies don't deal with it - there's still the police, military, and the cold of Winter.

We can go live together in Ilha Grande instead. I have a house really close to there, the local governments won't have how to discriminate us.

There are very isolated villages and the walkways between them are pretty hard to use, with forest on both sides. There are some jaguars and snakes there, not to say about some alligators in the coastal parts of a few rivers, so only the Indians would walk lonely at night, and Westerner zombies, rather not. The father of the grandma who raised me knew how to feel and avoid those like an Indian but she was still a child in the only time of her life when she was close (like, 10-15m away) to one of them hunting (and was scared as fuck, much like in the time when she was close to them playing, about 30-50m away, with each other) and don't have the knowledge.

I think it is a much wiser option. Also, zombies will have human biological functions.

I wouldn't like the taste of fish, much less eat fish every single day of the next 30 years, though (they don't have agriculture). I'd rather eat insects and vegetables (both equally pretty scary options).

I live in a place where even snakes dare not venture. And I'm pretty good with a shotgun. Plus, I have relatives with assault rifles and pistols and aside from replenishing ammunition and food, I have some nice hills I can camp on that are abundant in possums, deer, pigs, goats and feral cattle.

But that's of course, zombies are scientifically possible. Which they aren't. There are zombie like fungi, but they're limited to ant colonies in Africa and even the ants know what to do with them.

Obviously I'd cooperate with the government emergency response and generally stay out of the way of people better equipped to handle the problem. Over the next several months I would take great pleasure in mocking all the people who fled to bunkers or the wilderness, thinking civilisation would collapse, when in reality we'd be at worst inconvenienced for a few weeks. And the people upset that they didn't get to live out their socially-acceptable-murder-spree. Lawd, I would not stop mocking those psychos.

I have no guns, so I'd be pretty much screwed. I guess I would hide and try to wear things zombies couldn't bite through (let's see something with human teeth bite through layers of clothes and duct tape). I would probably die fairly quickly...
