My dad suddenly developed an aggressive throat cancer. Started as a very small bump on the side of his neck, but he hated going to the doctor and it wasn’t until it started growing and causing pain that he finally went and they realized it was cancer. From the time the first symptoms showed to the day he passed was under 8 months as best as we can tell. However, looking back at pictures from that time period, his German Shepherd started getting very interested in that particular spot of his neck. He would smell and lick at that spot, which a short time later turned out to be exactly where the cancer was. His dog isn’t trained to detect any specific scents, he just happened to notice that there was a new smell in that spot that he didn’t recognize. Had we been able to recognize that sign, my dad might still be here. But, at the time it just seemed like he was showing affection and happened to like smelling and licking at that spot. It kind of blew our minds once we actually realized that he caught it long before we ever did, but dogs can be pretty amazing like that.

What do you mean by snapping jaws? They wouldn't be able to move their muscle without some special chemical only the brain(which is dead) produces.

These shows always explain that whatever mechanism reanimated them also slows or halts decomposition, and sometimes decomposition doesn't necessarily even stop them until the brain completely decays. Resident Evil showed the T-Virus reanimating skeletons so that virus has a form of cellular regeneration in addition to reanimation. And of course in the case where it's demons the mechanism doesn't matter because it's demon magic.

@@ulfjohnsen6203 pretty sure that’s not how it works. You’re thinking of World War Z, but that’s not possible, since a virus is tailored to a specific species of animal or something. Like the bacteriopage, which was mentioned here, can only target one specific bacteria/a small family of bacteria, but not humans, since they are tailored to attack one species. Of course there are diseases that can cross between other animals and humans, but they can infect only some types of mammals, but not bacteria, since bacteria and mammals are very different things. Also even if a virus could do that, the virus can’t prevent cells dying, and a whole lot of other problems. What you’re talking about just isn’t how things work

Imagine if we had a zombie movie or video game like the last of us where a fungus took years to kill off the host, meaning they would have white fungal patches on their skin, the sweat glands would be spore launchers, the host would grow blooming protrusions and hard fungal lumps from a mix of fungus and the body's ability to produce bone, creating a bone-fungus hybrid as an armour of sorts. The body would soften at some places, harden like stone at others, and morph the host into an abomination. Like a piece of bread going mouldy they would literally just deteriorate into a rotten corpse but be alive while it happens it would cause immense pains, cramps and burning feelings at points as the victims disintegrate and at this point are completely sane despite already looking like a zombie. Due to eventually "blooming" and launching spores infecting others for a few days a month they would be exiled from their communities at a certain stage and left to fend for their own or go insane/be eaten by other fully assimilated victims. The immense pain and the slow deletion of the conscious part of the brain (similar to dementia but subconscious responses like breathing would be left perfectly intact) would create a frantic zombie eventually (think of hollows from dark souls, who are simply people who lost all of their memories but act like zombies) and it would be very tragic and realistic while also explaining some zombie video game tropes. The chances of them having the strength to fight you at all would be low in real life however, so maybe this would instead replace human cells with dense fungal cells rather than eating them. For example zombies could have tough armour and enlarged muscles and height (which could actually be entirely logical, as maybe in some rare cases the pituitary gland in men could become corrupted and deformed causing it to be over-stimulated and lead to over-production of testosterone and causing puberty multiple times, growing muscle, height and increased aggression, with the rapid growth likely deforming the host, making them like a tank from left 4 dead.). No idea at all what a female equivalent would look like, maybe like a spider they would give birth to dozens of children at once, dying the process, because I'm not sure what useful effect oestrogen would have in being a zombie other than having periods all the time. Maybe they spit acid blood? Or weave webs like a spider?

I always thought a longer incubation period would aid in the spread of a virus, as people would travel and spread the disease before symptoms emerged.

[@relyc9033]

I guess it depends on how the virus spreads. Like if the incubation period is simply the virus/bacteria multiplying in your bloodstream and no other effects occur (like mucus droplets being exhaled when you breathe or spread through other bodily fluids) then all you would need to worry about is the actual infectious/symptomatic period. But if the incubation does cause droplets to be exhaled or can be spread through bodily fluids like that, then the scale of infection would be much larger.

[@chrono254]

Sadly we do have an exemple of someone alive in a dead body, so we got a pretty good idea of what a somehow animated dead body would be capable of, at the very most you could squeeze an hour or so of proper activity out of the body just after its death, and then it would slowly stop moving. After a day or so, with no medical help, the subject won't be able to move at all. So if a Zombie apocalypse happens, stay home for a couple days, the problem will most likely be resolved when you come back out.

THE WALKING DEAD was first a movie, directed by Michael Curtiz who directed CASABLANCA. First zombie film in color was in 1961, DOCTOR'S BLOOD COFFIN. First nazi zombie movie was THE FROZEN DEAD. First zombie sequel was DAWN OF THE DEAD. First zombie movie made in New Zealand was BRAINDEAD, directed by Peter Jackson. RESIDENT EVIL was the fist zombie movie made based on a video game. China has banned all zombie movies. RESIDENT EVIL was the first zombie movie where animals could be infected as well, probably because they had a bigger budget for SFX and CGI. There are real animals that can mimic zombielike behaviors; various insects, frogs, and crabs. Technically anyone who rises up from the dead is a zombie.

Should've skipped World War Z altogether; that movie and the zombies in it are nothing like what max brooks wrote about

[@captainfactoid3867]

The movie by itself is a decent movie, but yeah, compared to the book its trash

[@misaelsalas9706]

Been saying that for years. Met the man at comic con and told there’d be a movie. Fast forward I watch said movie, disappointed to how bad it was handled.

next video: epidemiologist reviews deadly pandemics

[@aydrianna22]

The wwz book truly is great. I was so excited when I heard they were making a movie. I thought they were going to adhere to the book and do a semi-documentary style movie. Then I got very disappointed when I saw the trailer and have refused to see it since lol yes, I'm that asshurt. Very good book.

[@FinalStigma]

Dude, the book was a fictional survivor guide, literally just a bunch of really short stories. Honestly, the moment I heard about the movie adaptation, I knew it wouldn't be like the book. Reasonably speaking, it can only be done justice if it was made into a TV show that has a format akin to "Kino's Journey -The Beautiful World-".

[@aydrianna22]

@@FinalStigma I don't remember WWZ having a survival guide in it, that was Max's other book, The Zombie Survival guide. (which also had very short stories throughout history at the end) WWZ was about UN agent going around and collecting stories from people as apart of some postwar commission they were doing. The stories were more emotional, better written and more fleshed out than the anecdote sort of stories in the Survival Guide. But yes, a TV show would have been a better format.

Curious if you read his new one Devolution and if so, what did you think?

[@Nyx_2142]

Book was typical zombie fantasy junk. About as original as The Walking Dead past season 3

[@adlan_kacak]

13:05 knowing it`s happening in our real life kinda make me feel legit scared tho

[@zyral.f.6938]

Considering the current global viral plague and poor education standards, the paucity of comments here compared to cheesy action movies and fantasy weapons is rather telling. Finally, the original The Crazies not crap remakes like every other disappointing expert clip show on yt. Please do more classic films from the 1930s to 1980s instead of the asinine contemporary remake movies.

Why use many word when few do trick?

[@azam9782]

An epidemiologist who thinks the World War Z book was way better and that Z Nation is underrated... Truly a woman after my own heart.

[@jelkel25]

Liked the fungus idea. Might have to search that film out. If you do another Insider there's a comedy take on viral infections in Red Dwarf, a British comedy that might be a fun change from the Zombies.

I had a friend who had a brain disease. I forget what it’s called starts with an N negleria I think That virus was running rampant throughout his body and that’s what it is. Doctors inspected him with legionnaires disease. Basically it’s slow down the disease for them to get him better
