Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it.
Albert Einstein

This spoke to me. I usually try to do what I consider the right thing. Sometimes it seriously blows up in my face. And of those times, sometimes I get mocked for it by people who think that my convictions and beliefs are naive or outdated. But it's good to see that great men thought the same thing as I do.

How to Deal with a Zombie Infestation in Your Community

A Survival Guide
It can happen in even the quietest and smallest of communities as well as large, bustling cities.

It might start slowly. You, as a concerned citizen, might begin to notice neighbors and even strangers acting oddly.

There are important questions to ask yourself to correctly assess the situation:

1. Is the neighbor in question moving in a pointless, stilted fashion?

2. Does the neighbor appear to have a fatal injury that should have rendered them dead and incapacitated, yet they are still wandering the neighborhood?

3. Have you observed the neighbor eating the flesh of other neighbors or strangers?

Affirmative answers to one or more of these questions could indicate a potential reanimation infection in your community. This infection must be dealt with quickly and precisely to stave off a complete infestation.

This infection could have occurred through a number of unexpected means.

There could have been a bioweapons experiment that was used to intentionally infect your community, thus providing analytical data to the organization or government developing the bioweapon.

The infection could have been caused by a nuclear experiment. The infection could also have occurred if the Earth passed through the tail of a comet (in which case the infection could only last for the duration of the celestial event).

The last two scenarios are unlikely and it is most probably that your community's infection is the result of a bioweapon.

In truth, the cause of the infection is irrelevant. Survival is indeed the utmost concern you should have.

In order to combat and survive the infection and the potential infestation you must plan to protect yourself and, if necessary, eliminate infectees. Most people would call the infected individuals zombies, but this term is inaccurate and offensive.

In the interest of being inclusive and non-offensive, this guide will simply refer to these individuals as "infectees," "infected persons" or "the reanimated," or similar variations. The terms will be used interchangeably.

Things to remember when dealing with infected persons

1. Infected persons are not alive. They have been infected with a virus that has killed their body, infected their brain, then reanimated their bodies. Your neighbor Bob is no longer Bob. His brain has filled with infection and died, along with the personality you once knew and appreciated. Bob is now an infected person, or a reanimated individual. Because his brain has died and the infection has caused the reanimation of his dead flesh, he no longer knows you or cares about you. His intent and purpose is now to feed his reanimated tissue through the ingestion of living tissue - yours. You must understand this point well. If a friend or family member becomes infected, they are no longer your friend or family member and cannot be treated as such. At this time there has not been enough data collected to postulate a theory on why the reanimated seek to feed on living flesh. Later guides are expected to include this information.

2. Once a person becomes infected, you cannot reason with them. In the previous example, we discussed your friend Bob. Bob is no longer your friend and you cannot convince him to not attempt to eat you. He will not listen. He will not understand. Do not attempt to reason with Bob as this will lose valuable time you will need to either escape the assault or put an end to it (methods of which will be discussed in a later point).

3. A person may become infected through a number of means - some of which have not been thoroughly documented. Therefore, this point may need additional reference citings and studies to validate its accuracy. One way of infection that has been proven and well-documented is through a bite from a reanimated person. The breaking of skin by teeth results in the virus being passed from the teeth of an infected person into the bloodstream of an uninfected person. Some people mistakenly assume it is the saliva of the reanimated person that carries the virus, but again you must remember the infected person is not a living person. Therefore they do not produce saliva. Other means of infection that have been suggested are: scratches or skin breakages caused by contact with an infected person or exposure to blood from an infected person (I.e. infected blood getting into eyes, nose, mouth or an open cut). These methods are still undetermined, but in the interest of safety, you are advised to avoid any and all close contact with the reanimated and their blood.

4. Reanimated persons tend to move slowly. It is unclear at this time why this occurs. There have been theories that this lethargy only affects newly-reanimated and infected persons who have survived longer develop a speed, strength and agility similar to what they experienced prior to infection. Since your survival depends upon infected persons not surviving long after infection, we will not explore this supposition further in this guide. It is sufficient to note that the slowness of reanimated persons is an important tool to utilize when escaping or killing a reanimated person.

5. It is unclear how long infection takes to present. A person who is bitten by an infected person could take minutes to become completely infected or it could take days. There has not been enough data collected to provide sound understanding on this point. In the interest of safety, it is best to assume infection will become complete within a matter of minutes.

This point brings us to the most vital aspect of this guide.

How to kill the reanimated

This is the most important part of this guide. If you are not able to escape to a protected area, you will need to defend yourself and your family.

The only way to cure a reanimation infection is to "kill" the infected person.

Kill is not the proper term since the infected person is technically already dead, but for all intents and purposes of this guide, we will use word kill - or deanimate - when referring to ending an infection.

It has been found that reanimated persons can be rendered immobile and deanimated through destruction of the infected brain tissue.

This destruction can be caused by a gunshot wound to the brain, a severing of the head (thus severing the brain stem) or an object piercing the brain (I.e. a stake, pipe, stick, sword, etc.). Since using an object to pierce the brain requires close contact with an infected person, thus increasing chances of further infection, you would be wise to implement a plan of firearms offense/defense against the reanimated.

It is important to eliminate the threat each reanimated person provides. Unfortunately, there must be no discrimination or delineation upon this point. All reanimated individuals must be rendered deanimated (or killed) in order to stop further spread of infection.

These are the basic pointers and suggestions for dealing with a reanimation infection or infestation in your community. Please review these steps thoroughly to familiarize yourself with them in the event of a reanimation emergency.
