Kill yourself, because you're screwed anyway.

I was actually a little surprised that it even existed, to tell you the truth.

The key is to stick in smaller groups but not to exclude other people. A group of 20 people with a wide set of skills should allow for you to survive for months. The smaller the group, the easier to get overwhelmed; the larger the group is the harder it is to keep mobile or to provide for every person.

The only problem will be the initial panic. You want to build up your supplies as quick as possible, but the likelihood of you being the first person to think of going to X store for non perishable food and water is highly unlikely. Most people will have enough supplies in their house or within their community of houses to survive without needing to leave for 1-2 months, so this can be an option for people who don't live in populated areas. However this initial panic will also kill off a lot of idiots, so the resulting population is luckier and smarter, hopefully smart enough to realize that they can't survive alone.

Beyond 1-2 months assuming that civilization has collapsed, the first thing to do is to look for shelter with adequate construction, access to medical facilities, cooking supplies, internal electricity, communications, and heavy set doors. A few good examples include: Hospitals, high rise buildings, high schools, military bases, factories, etc. However all of these depend on specific situations, and may be better or worse depending on what you're looking for. Military bases may have weapons, but they're large and would limit you to using at most 3-4 buildings without spreading your defenses thin. Hospitals may have a seemingly infinite amount of medical supplies, but the chances of finding a hospital that is both empty and not in a densely populated area or zombie hotspot is a long shot. You should choose your building based on it's qualities first, then location, then size. My personal choice would be a high school, because the have medical facilities to cover any minor injuries, cooking facilities to feed around 1000 people, an emergency generator, and very thick doors.

This revelation is older than the internet.

But now a study has been done on it so it's not just internet folk-lore.

This study posits that they can.

Here's a link to the paper if anyone is interested.

Well the study is retarded unless the virus is changing some other organ to dole out the signals for motor functions.

Presumably, that's the case, I haven't read the study.

I love the guys name, Robert Smith?.

professor Robert J. Smith?, whose last name contains a question mark to distinguish his common name from that of other researchers.

I STRONGLY suggest you all go out and read the book The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks. It can save your life.

Stupid shitty book sold at hot topic is stupid shitty book sold at hot topic.

Zombie Survivial Guide is interesting, but not exactly 'reading' material.  It's literally like a field guide.

I think all this study demonstrates is how far from the founding principles of academia and the sciences university life has become.

I think the best place to go if you could would be a island fair out to sea. if they could close off there borders quick enough it would help. in fact anything in water over ten feet deep would probably be good. I don't no of any zombie coordinated enough to swim. even if they couldn't drown I doubt they would be smart enough to get up to you.

The problem with an island is supplies. If you're say on a coastal shelf about 30-40 meters off the mainland, this might be your best option in terms of islands. However getting back on to the shore for supply runs is a problem

seems if you get enough fishing supplies you could go awhile without going back for supplies. if you also were on a big enough island that had some wildlife and edible plants you could go on for a quite a while.
