From Wikipedia:
In some versions, the reason the dead rise and attack is unknown, rendering the whole situation inexplicable. In others versions, a specific parasite or infection is known to be the cause, framing events much like a plague. Some stories have every corpse rise, regardless of the cause of death, whereas others require exposure to the vector of infection.
In either scenario, this causes the outbreak to become an exponentially growing crisis: the spreading “zombie plague” swamps law enforcement organizations, the military and health care services, leading to the panicked collapse of civil society until only isolated pockets of survivors remain. Basic services such as piped water supplies and electrical power shut down, mainstream mass media cease broadcasting, and the national government of affected countries collapses or goes into hiding.
Sadly to be credible one does not use the worst source Wikipedia. There are far more credible sources. It is know. That Wikipedia is very skewed and highly inaccurate.
When it comes to zombies, I’m not sure there is a credible source. I just thought Wikipedia’s entry, in this case, was particularly apropos.
Haha! A credible source for information about zombies… can you suggest a better one?
Perhaps Elizabeth thought the “highly inaccurate” Wikipedia description was of the Jan. 6 insurrectionists. Easy mistake to make.
Oh darn, I had hoped she was kidding about the zombies 🙂
She might be but I’m not. Those people attacking the Capitol were no better than zombies infected with trumpism.
Interesting analogy….
Haven’t been able to get those two images out of my head. And the Wikipedia thing was just too spot on to ignore.
Woody Harrelson for President! It’s our only hope.
I have at times thought NO president would be a good idea. I think that was during W’s presidency. But that would leave us with Congress, and that’s certainly no improvement.
