Now, due to widespread travel, transmission of infection is not only quick and easy, it is inevitable. With outbreaks such as Swine and Avian flu, SARs (to name a few) people are very much aware of the dangers. People are no longer scared of 'unknown zombies' because it isn't plausible, but a virus causing zombie like creatures? That is entirely plausable, even probable.
I mean even the CDC has a zombie preparedness site as they say : "If you are generally well equipped to deal with a zombie apocalypse you will be prepared for a hurricane, pandemic, earthquake, or terrorist attack". The intention of which is to prepare people for natural disasters: the side effect is that people see that as the CDC endorsing the likelihood of zombie attacks...
I digress I think I'll stop there. I could ramble on and on (I did, I wrote 10,000 words on the subject aha) so I'll leave it at that XD
Sorry to bore you XD

Okay : 3 Well I wasn't a science student (sadly) I studied film, media etc, but I've always been fascinated with viruses & zombies etc, so I tailored my dissertation around that From H1N1 to Z1N1: Curing and Creating Disease in a Post-Millennial Science Fiction Cinema. That was my topic. I looked at where this fear of zombies stemmed from, had how it differs now compared to when it originated. Romero's Night of the Living Dead is considered Patient Zero of zombie films, and the origin of the zombie infection in his films, whilst generally unknown, was hinted at being from space, which fitted with the current times as it was made during the space race. Thus space was common topic, unknown and could hold dangers. Whereas now, we don't fear space, or even really think much about it. It's just common knowledge we have people up there, so the fear is nullified as nothing has happened in the 40+ years of space travel.
I'm running out of space to talk about this -.-
