How to fight a zombie army
The Straight Dope:Â “A review of zombie movies tells us they have the following common characteristics: they’re generally slow, stupid, and unaffected by bodily damage, they don’t have working circulatory or respiratory tracts, they’re not fazed by heat or cold, they can’t drown, and their thought processes are degraded to the point that shock and awe don’t have an appreciable psychological effect. This leaves you with basically three options: immobilize them and leave them to rot, decapitate them or destroy their brains (they apparently do still have central nervous systems, demonstrating that even a modicum of intelligence can be a fatal flaw), or obliterate them entirely. . .”

I used to watch too many bad horror movies growing up and one of my biggest fears was waking up to a world of zombies (as later shown in 28 Days Later).
I did like how John Hannah’s character in The Mummy pretended to be a zombie to throw suspicion and attention from himself as they were being attached by a whole army of Imhotep followers.

Zombies in this generation are quite fast, though (kaya na nilang makipaghabulan sa 28 days later, i am legend, etc). So how do we stop a zombie army with such speed before they kill us??

A lot would depend on whether there is an airbone ‘zombie’ virus (or other such infectious agent) or whether animals can also transmit said virus.
