Zombies Would Wipe Out Humans In Less Than 100 Days by MOSTEC(m): 10:04am On Jan 12, 2017 |
A new article in a peer-reviewed student journal finds that the zombie hordes would take Earth's population down to a mere 273 survivors in 100 days. The paper, published in the University of Leicester's Journal of Physics Special Topics, was a fanciful use of the so-called SIR model, which is used in epidemiology to simulate how diseases spread over time. It's not the first time zombieshave been used as a public health metaphor. In December 2015, for example, the British medical journal The Lancet published a tongue-in-cheek papertitled "Zombie infections: epidemiology, treatment, and prevention." And a viral blog post from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urged zombie-apocalypse preparations as a metaphor for real-life disaster preparedness. |
