Epidemiologist Rates 10 Zombie Virus Movies And TV Shows For Realism | How Real Is It? | Insider

  • Tara Smith rates the realism of viruses in zombie movies, how they spread and infect characters, and their cures. Would lab technicians be responsible for the catastrophic leak of the T-virus in "Resident Evil" (2002)? Would an individual test a vaccine by infecting themself with a lethal pathogen, as Brad Pitt does in "World War Z" (2013)? And would the authorities shut down a building as quickly as in "Quarantine" (2008)?
    Smith looks at the development and spread of rabies-like viruses in "The Crazies" (1973) and the rage virus in "28 Days Later" (2002). She looks at the realism of virus side effects in "I Am Legend" (2007) and "Z Nation" (2014-2018). She also analyzes the mutated form of mad cow disease seen in "Zombieland" (2009).
    Do any viruses exist that behave in the same reanimating way as the wildfire virus in "The Walking Dead" (2010-)? Does climate change have any impact on a virus' spread, such as in "Cargo" (2017)? And how do Cordyceps-style fungal infections actually spread, as seen in "The Girl with All the Gifts" (2016)?
    Smith is an infectious disease epidemiologist at Kent State University College of Public Health. She has published two papers on zombies and infectious diseases, specialized in plagues and pandemics, and coedited a book on Ebola.

    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.

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

      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.

    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?

      @tillerthefarmtool7107 2 роки тому

      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.

    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.

One part of that intro showed a man in a high-rise office, looking at a picture of his family, he was crying, and as the camera pulled back, infected people were breaking through his office door/window and he had just pulled the trigger on a revolver pointed at his temple.
