Preparedness and the Zombie Apocalypse
From The Centers for Disease Control. No, really.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

I notice they left “big assed gun” off of thier list of items…
..typical.

Interesting that they do not address defense in their preparedness plan…

What caliber for gov’t worker turned (more) zombie?

Whatever caliber you’re carrying is the right one, you know.

Besides the obvious lack of firearms in their recommendations, I’m concerned that they treat the zombpocalypse as a fictional disaster. By attributing the rise of the living dead as nothing but a pop culture construct, they do their public a terrible disservice.

Glad to see Rear Admiral Ali S. Khan has so much time on his hands at the CDC he can polish up his creative writing. What a waste of taxpayer dollars!

Honestly, as taxpayer dollars go it’s fairly smart. I’d eat my hat if the CDC honestly believed in a zombie apocalypse, but the joke that “if you’re prepared for the dead to walk, you’re prepared for anything is true.” It’s actually a pretty good way to engage people and get them prepared for a real disaster like a flood or something.

Important documents (copies of your driver’s license, passport, and birth certificate to name a few)
Now why would you need a birth certificate? The President said it was “silliness” when he finally produced his copy.

I posted a comment mentioning the lack of defensive concern. Evidently, the word “guns” triggers automatic deletion in .gov websites.

They did such good work with Guillain-Barre and AIDS, why not this too? Zombie apocalypses are unpossible of course. But were one to come up all of a sudden, I know who I’d suspect of dropping the vial.
