+302 If you think about it, a Zombie Apocalypse probably wouldn't last more than a year or two. It's not like the zombies worked out a game plan, so they wouldn't really be going for the people in power. Plus, they're rotten corpses. They most likely wouldn't have the strength to escape from the coffins and then go through six feet of dirt. But the thought still entices you, amirite?

They still have minor remnants of memory. Enough that most people would still know who's in charge. And at fresh creation, they're strong enough to escape. Plus, if it's anything like the walking dead, it's impossible for anyone, living or dead, to escape infection.

Yeah, but the best way to spread an infection is through sex and bodily fluids and I doubt anyone would be having sex with zombies. Well no cancel that out, I could easily see that becoming a fetish. Plus, think about that time one dog got rabies and entire continent of dogs got rabies. See? I really think if there was a zombie infection spreading, it would get knocked out pretty quickly.

As I want a zombie apocalypse to happen more than my nest breath, I have taken the liberty to argue with each negative point. 7. Zombies spread infections not only from bites, but from being bitten. Anything trying to eat them would only help it spread. 6. This is a good point, but I have reason to believe that zombies would rot at an incredibly slow rate, since any bacteria would become zombified, and prefer living flesh. 5. The cold would slow, but not entirely stop an outbreak. Except for always frozen areas. 4. According to the Walking Dead, and this is one of my favorite modern additions to zombies, bites don't spread the disease. Everyone's already infected, and dying allows it to take over. Biting is just how they kill. 3. Again, the mere number of them renders this a VERY slow solution. 2. Freshly bitten, physically powerful zombies should have next to no problem with landscape.

1. Even at the beginning, we would be greatly outnumbered. Factor in human casualties, ignorance, stupidity, etc., and most decent hunters die out one way or another, causing more zombies.
