So if a real zombie(like) disease spread what would your real strategy be?

Let's base the zombie(like) plague a little closer to reality with a combination of diseases. So in this case lets define our zombies. Let's say the medical field has determined there is a 99% transmition rate with an incubation period of 1 hr. to 5 days (So it has the ability to go global).

1: They are not dead. So you could kill them with body shots however their blood is thick and oxygen rich so it would take longer for them to die from the bleeding effects. This in effect would make it so you could shoot out the heart and both lungs and it would not slow them down for 5 - 10 minutes. making body shots about useless.

2: Lets makes it a Rabid like disease so it spreads via bites (actuality by body fluids) the diseased are VIOLENTLY crazy and lacking all but the most basic reasoning skills. (animal intelligence)

3: Because they are alive (so no rotters) they do have to eat so lets make a twist. If they cannot find easy food they will also eat each other though they have a preference for animals or non infected humans.

4: Do to the fact that humans are social animals lets make them have a pack mentality.

Now pretend this pandemic has gone global before it is truly recognized for what it is and the shit has already hit the fan, you have already holed up in your home for say a week before you are driven out due to hunger and thirst. What would be your real strategy for survival using knowledge and equipment you really have on hand? How would you survive in a real world of H1Z1?

HAHA from the way the game is played I could believe that. Don't forget to cry "HAX HAX! Why you cheat??" If you fail to knock them out or down in one or 2 punches.

I live on a very large Canadian island, they will all freeze coming winter and have so much damage to their tissue coming spring thaw, I would only have to hold out one winter. ;) And the island is so large with so few people, all the people here could be zombies, and I'd probably never run into one.

Very sound reasoning assuming you could survive the winter. I to live in Northern regions that hit artic temperatures, so my personal strategy would be remove myself and my people from populated areas and go caveman for a winter, Bows, knives, rope, hatchets, hammers etc. I know how to hunt, fish, trap and gather. Also know how to build many types of survival shelters, cure meat and dry vegetation. Tracking and hiding tracks are also in my skill set basic medical abilities (setting bones, stitches with a little knowledge of medicinal herbs). I THINK we would be fine assuming we could make it away from populated areas.

Note: My skills and knowledge base is from North American woodland so if I was in the desert or Jungle type areas I would DIE! Well most likely.

Simple - I would firstly take my katana and make my way out of town with it during the initial panic (everyone will try to use car, which will be their doom since trafficways e.g) - i will instead use 90% of population as meat shields and make my way into the woods - from there on i will make my way into the swiss alps ( i live in germany) - since there wont be much people living in the swiss alps and i believe that if i make it into the swiss alps, there will be high chance of myself to survive - also i would seek to take some friends, mostly female friends with me - eventually, after i could be sure that most people died, we would then make our way to the italian coast from where we would head out to open ocian with an stolen boat, after scavaging as much fuel as we could - then on the open water we would eventually most likely meet bill gates, warren buffet and some russian super billioneres on their yachts and tribute them some of the woman.

Eventually everyone is happy.

End of story.

Don't forget to upvote this guys we could get some real funny stuff like from Cirolle OR some serious and educational tips from some actual knowledgeable people. In reality it wouldn't have to be zambies it could be EMP bursts around the world, a different pandemic, war. Lots of things could cause social collapse. How would you survive... or die?
