Science nerd moment:
My blog background is covered in blood cells so you expect them once in a while.
Around Halloween I started reading this book called "The Hot Zone" Well, I learned quickly it was a good way to get into the Halloween spirit since its a nonfiction novel about Ebola and Ebola is SCARY!!!
I won't go into too much detail, but Ebola is filovirus that liquifies all the cells in your body. There isn't a vaccine yet either so if a strain of Ebola became a more contagious airborne agent we'd be in a LOT of trouble.
You know what else would cause a lot of trouble?
A zombie virus. There was that situation a few months ago when that one guy in Miami stripped naked and started attacking a guys face. I guess that was caused by drugs but man, that would be really horrific.
Well, after browsing the internet a bit I uncovered this little gem.
"If zombies did start roaming the streets, CDC would conduct an investigation much like any other disease outbreak. CDC would provide technical assistance to cities, states, or international partners dealing with a zombie infestation. This assistance might include consultation, lab testing and analysis, patient management and care, tracking of contacts, and infection control (including isolation and quarantine). It's likely that an investigation of this scenario would seek to accomplish several goals: determine the cause of the illness, the source of the infection/virus/toxin, learn how it is transmitted and how readily it is spread, how to break the cycle of transmission and thus prevent further cases, and how patients can best be treated."
Lots of people have been grumbling about how Obama got re-elected and how our country is going to collapse but cheer up friends, if a zombie apocalypse occurs our government has a game plan. Still, it might be smart to have an emergency preparedness FHE to get the little ones ready. You could read this book:

Or maybe just watch this commercial Divine Comedy through together.
And here is a music video about zombies. Whats more romantic than a zombie love song.
