    "The patient had no focal neurologic findings and no hyperreflexia or increased muscle tone. His overall score on the Glasgow Coma Scale was 13 (scores range from 3 to 15, with 15 being normal); his scores for eye response and for verbal response were 4, and his score for motor response was 5. He had intermittent periods of “zombielike” groaning and slow mechanical movements of the arms and legs."

    Sounds like a real life X-files episode. Maybe we were right to ignore climate change, given that we're all doomed anyway.

    Yep...I love me some guns!

    Just think, if you were turned into a zombie you would finally percieve the world through the lens of the common man. That ought to be high up there on your wish list...you know...because of how lonely it must be, being that your so intellectually superior to the general populace and all...

    Hey man, it's no joke. It is lonely at the top.

    There are so few of us, and we have very little empathy for our own kind... it's awful. 😞

    Also a relief that it's not a pathogen so he can't infect others.

    But with enough drugs in the system, conceivably the zombie phenotype could be transferable with a bite.
