My mom would freaked out if those were ever to become real.

Has a rat ever done anything to you to
create this animosity you feel toward
them?
PERRIER
Rat's spread disease, they bite people -
COL LANDA
- Unless some fool is stupid enough to
try and handle a live one, rats don't
make it a practise of biting human beings.
Rats were the cause of the bubonic plague,
but that was some time ago. In all your
born days, has a rat ever caused you to
be sick a day in your life? I purpose to
you, any disease a rat could spread,
a squirrel could equally carry.
Yet I assume you don't share the same
animosity with squirrels that you do with
rats, do you?
PERRIER
No.
COL LANDA
Yet, they are both rodent's, are they
not? And except for the fact that one
has a big bushy tail, while the other
has a long repugnt tail of rodent skin,
they even rather look alike, don't they?

It is a interesting thought,
heer Colonel.
COL LANDA
However, interesting as the thought may
be, it makes not one bit of difference
to how you feel. If a rat were to scamper
through your door, this very minute,
would you offer it a saucer of your
delicious milk?
PERRIER
Probably not.
COL LANDA
I didn't think so. You don't like them.
You don't really know why you don't like
them. All you know is, you find them
repulsive.

Supposedly I heard somewhere that this new TWD show will show how the zombie apocalypse started/ how infection got out.
I'll try to find where I read that.

Yes that's correct. It depicts the beginning.

Ok it Halloween time so bring out the zombie hordes! Here is an interesting article my local liberal Newspaper posted about the best places to survive a zombie apocalypse.
My two cents
Manhattan Kansas would be better, only if it doesn't start from the bio defense facility being built, then it's ground zero. Manhattan is next to Fort Riley (explains it's self) and also like a Island City surrounded by the flat flint hills and farms and few highways going into it. I went to Kansas State University there lol.
Surviving the zombie apocalypse? Columbia, Mo., is No. 1 with a bullet
As Halloween approaches, the nation’s serious statisticians weigh zombie defense factors
Not one but two companies’ number crunchers have come up with zombie survival ratings
Columbia topped one list, and Kansas City was No. 8 in the other

The zombies might have taken over already. The evidence? Not one but two companies, CareerBuilder and FindTheHome, have spent their number crunchers’ time coming up with rankings for, yes, the places most likely to survive a zombie apocalypse.
The good news — well, there is no good news when the nonsense quotient is this high. But as Halloween approaches, maybe someone will sleep better knowing the and fared well in the FindTheHome rating system, too.
In fact, , a website that hopes you’ll use it the next time you’re buying a house, the No. 1 best place to be when zombies arise will be Columbia, Mo.
It seems the home of the Mizzou Tigers has a unique mix of what that rating system is looking for: great access to food, water, guns and ammo; lots of hardware stores (the better to build and repair your shelter, apparently); and a relatively young and well-educated populace.
Then again, Columbia’s score was 91.9, while the whole of Boone County scored 95. Like a pandering politician’s tax plan, these ratings make less sense the more you look at them.
Anyway, besides its list of the 10 most zombie resistant places — Tampa, Fla., was No. 2 — FindTheHome gave every county in the U.S. a composite score on a 100-point scale, combining how it was rated for resources, defense and demographics.
With one exception, Kansas City metro area counties scored in the middle to upper 80s, topped by military heavy Leavenworth County at 89.4. Only Wyandotte County lagged at 46.4, perhaps handicapped by a relative lack of grocery stores and millennials.
The area also did well in CareerBuilder’s tally, which didn’t try to rate every area. But in its rankings of the 53 largest U.S. metro areas, Kansas City was No. 8 for most likely to survive. The CareerBuilder map doesn’t load well on others’ websites or apps, but you can find it .
The CareerBuilder system — to its credit or shame, depending on how you look at time spent on this — appears to be more thought out and detailed, with four categories: defense (percent of population in first response occupations such as police, fire and military — Kansas City was No. 5), containment (engineering prowess and low population density; KC did well here, too), food supply (“based on the percentage of each metro’s total exports in non-perishable food manufacturing or wholesale goods industries”) and finding a cure (percent of population in biomedical research and related fields).
Boston was No. 1, thanks to its medical heavy population. New York — think population density — ranked last among the 53, and that didn’t even factor in the Mets’ defense. Tampa, Fla., was next worst, at No. 52. Yes, the same Tampa that was second best in the other rankings.
And if you feel as if you lost brain cells just reading about this, I’m sorry. Or maybe not. Zombies go after brains, don’t they?

I think an important factor is what kind of zombies are people dealing with. In The Walking Dead everyone has the zombie virus already in them. That means you're always around the threat if someone dies and is not dealt with appropriately. If you're dealing with the zombies that have to bite you for you to turn into a zombie, that's a different situation. You can probably be around a lot of people there but in The Walking Dead world that would be dangerous in itself. In both situations though if society has collapsed, you have to deal with humans also. It's going to be survival of the fittest.
