Would people with S/A survive the zombie apocalypse?

Due to the fact I have Type 1 Diabetes, and would run out of Insulin, no. But in terms of nervousness, I think I would be less scared of zombies than I am of humans, and that's saying something.

I've often jeopardized my mental, physical and financial well being while trying to attempt to avoid embarrassing myself - so I imagine if the stakes were higher, some of my irrational decisions would have much worse implications and my SA would at times be a huge weakness. Maybe it would come with some strengths but I'm certain that in my case, it would certainly come with some nasty disadvantages.

@Apotheosis I've got no such plan and don't intend to make one but you may be right, I know someone I'm pretty sure has gone to considerable lengths to make one but I'm totally baffled as to why.

I don't know man.One thing you have to realise,the main thing they NEVER address in the movies,is the contamination of groundwater.

We will need to move towards the source of rivers or work with others to help build rainwater collection devices.

I always figured bottled/canned drinks would be fine for quite awhile- until you could find a place to settle near a watersource. That's not such a big problem in Ontario since there are lakes, rivers, bays everywhere and the amount of rain is fairly decent, plus in winter you could always melt snow down.
So long as zombies aren't attracted to smoke, woodburning stoves are great for heat, cooking and light and I grew up heating our home with one, so I'm used to keeping the fire stoked.

How long would hydro last if there's no one manning the dams?
Anyone have an idea?
I always wondered... because all of our electricity comes from hydro but there's alot of work that goes into managing it- that I know very little about.

It depends on the dam, but hydro would probably outlast any other source of electricity. The way hydroelectricity works is pretty simple, and as long as water keeps flowing, it should provide some power, unless the dam is actually destroyed. It could last for decades, assuming they don't have some safety measure that cuts the power as soon as some kind of anomaly is detected (nuclear plants do that).

Interesting question. The typical advantage of being in groups may be overturned in this instance (at least somewhat).

So if a guy with SA gets bitten, will he be a SA zombie and hide rather than attacking others?

Hahaha good point! I personally would love to be an SA zombie and be isolated from the others. While everyone else is crowding around a helpless survivor and fighting over who gets the leg and who gets the intestines, I'll be all by myself somewhere and maybe find myself a victim and not have to worry about fighting with other zombies for my lunch :D

As for being the survivor of a zombie apocalypse... hmmm, maybe. I play a good amount of FPS and survival horror games, watch/love post-apocalyptic movies, and have been to a few shooting ranges before so I have a pretty good sense of how to handle a gun and have a basic but decent survival instinct. I could also easily cope with the loneliness. Hell, being the last person on Earth sounds like heaven to me :cool:
