So much for any work getting done at my office this afternoon. We're all too busy laughing.

"...If zombies did start roaming the streets, CDC would conduct an investigation much like any other disease outbreak. CDC would provide technical assistance to cities, states, or international partners dealing with a zombie infestation...."

Technical assistance? Hope that's the new politically correct term for an AR15 or M4.

LOL, I would think the CDC would be behind the lines trying to figure out WTF is going on, I'm pretty sure most of the outbreaks they deal with...the patients don't try to eat them lol.

You have got to be shitting me... Gonna give this one a read.

Edit: Jokes? Hack of some sort? I can't view it...

It appears some CDC employee has a better sense of humor than the CDC does. They took it down. Fuckers...

That's too bad, I wonder if it's mirrored anywhere?

It's a fun way to deal with a grim topic, doesn't matter if it's zombies, or hordes of starving people from the nearest city, the prep work is 99% the same.
