I was talking to my brother a while back and he mentions there are about 4 or 5 types of zombies and through my research, and I guess depending on who you talk to, there can be up to 350 types...I wont go there. I'm going to focus on 4 types of zombies:
Slow Dumb Fast Dumb
Slow Smart Fast Smart
This will be a 4 or 5 part series. Each post will be about a different type and the likely hood of it happening...general likely hood. No statistics here.
So, slow dumb. This is the best case scenario but the least likely to ever happen. This is the undead. Those in the grave walk. Unlikely because we know (so far) that the dead don't walk. Yes there are types of zombies other than the undead, and I will get into that in other posts.
To give you an idea of the slow dumb zombies you can watch The Walking Dead or Shaun of the Dead. Bodies are falling apart. They walk slowly, and when in groups can run, but they don't sprint. They are as dumb as a post. Don't know how to get through or over a fence, how to open a door, etc.
This is the best case scenario type because as long as your faster and have at least an IQ of 1, you can probably survive. Unless you are part of the initial outbreak...then sorry. Keep on the move and you should be fine. The reason this type of zombie exists in idea is because I feel it is the best for movies. Nothing gives you more suspense than knowing there is something slow that will eventually kill you. Slowly the masses turn, and theres nothing you can do about it. At least that's the feeling you get during the movie.
Being that it is the best case scenario, what can you do to be prepared for when this type of zombie hits? Doesn't take much. Have a food storage, a go bag. Other than that you should have time to scrounge up stuff while your on the move. Weapon of choice would be anything but my bare hands.
Sadly this is the least likely to ever happen, so when the zombie apocalypse arrives, we wont be so lucky.
