Happy Halloween
It made my day when this showed up in my inbox this morning. I'm glad to see someone knows what to do if/when the zombie outbreak occurs.

My only criticism is that the explanatory power of the study is limited to the classic model of a slow-moving, cannibalistic and undead zombie population. The authors argue that even in this limited case, \beta > \alpha (zombies infect humans faster than humans can kill them), and
eradication depends critically on quarantining those in the primary stages of infection. But what sort of intervention strategy would be needed in the event of a fast-moving zombie attack? Will quarantine work? Clearly, further epidemiological research is needed.

Zombie outbreak would not occur in this state of economics I can assure that, even living society has difficulty coping. Happy halloween
