How about some kind of necrotising fasciitis? Eventually they'd be too decomposed to move.

I'd like to think you'd have some form of warning, like in Shaun of the Dead where a news man tells you whats happening and what to do, but I think it'd be more like the Dawn of the Dead remake, where the first thing you know about it is when your kid tries to start eating you. In this scenario, with a fast spreading virus/pandemic/zombieism, it would all boil down to what you have in house or place of work at the time of outbreak.

In those early stages most people wopuld probably receive a bite, barracade themselves away from the attackers, and subsequently change into a zombie. So only switched on folk (like us on here) would know what was happening, and know to take evasive action.

I take it you guys have got a glass box in your cellar saying "break in case of zombie apocolypse"? Within should be edged and blunt weapons, projectile weapons, tons of ammo, communication equipment, and food and drink (by which I mean pork scratchings and beer).

Then you probably have to decide whether staying put and trying to wait it out, or jumping in your armoured Tango and Cash style SUV and running for the hills... which have eyes by the way...

Remember that movie Land of the Dead? They had an electric fence and a river to safeguard them. Hmm, all that wire in the backyard...
