I dont know, I think it could happen, and it would be a product of our government experimenting. It would be the results of a lab, and it would be like 28 Days Later crossed with Zombieland: It would be an infection, causing people to become incredibly violent (running around eating each other), and their pain threshold would be so high that chopping a hand off or shooting them wouldnt bother them. Sure, theyd die like regular people, but not feeling pain would keep them alive much longer, making it possible for them to do a lot more damage.
They wouldnt be "zombies" like in the classic Night of the Living Dead, theyd be running wild lunatics, trying to rip apart everything in their way. A "super soldier" experiment gone wrong is what I picture. By the time it got out of the lab, everyone in the lab would be infected and there would be people already out of the lab. If it were to happen like that, it would spread fast and the government/military wouldnt be able to contain it. I dont think it would wipe out the planet, but is sure would put a dent in the population. |

Thank's for the link. This is actually pretty interesting, but it's also sort of disappointing. I'd still like to think it could happen.

Yeah, pretty much. SDR for short, except rabies on its own kills and messes with the brain, this wouldnt kill the host. I think it would be an accidental virus or a lab trying to make a super soldier or a cure for something. Listen, Im not an idiot, Im not saying its going to happen or I think it is/might. Im just saying if it did happen, thats how I think it would happen, and I think it would spread fast enough to make a HUGE problem for a while, and wipe out a LOT of people.
You know, rabies is a pretty scary thing. A friend of mine recently underwent rabies treatment because, get this, he had bats in his cabin and sharing the air with a possible host is considered contact because it can be carried in the air! They said it would take a couple weeks to see if it worked, to which he replied "If it doesnt, then what?" The doctor looked at him and said "100% of all rabies infections that arent treated within 10 days are considered fatal." Thats some scary shit. Imagine that, rabies on steroids: Super short incubation period, super intensified symptoms & violence but it doesnt cause death to the host. No vaccine or antidote. That would be something to deal with. Or bubonic plague that causes a severely violent carrier and slower or no death to the carrier. Its not all that far-fetched.
