Okay, before you flame this or take this down for trolling (I hope not), I was wondering your thoughts on this matter. If this is indeed a "troll" thread or whatnot, lock it, I don't care.



What would win out over the top, humans infected with rage virus or zombies? Rage virus infects humans to become extremely violent, increase bodily functions to near psychopathic proportions. Zombie virus reanimates a human being as another life form all together. They are turned into almost mechanical flesh eating monsters. That being said, what would a world with both infecting the populus at the same time look like?

The reason I ask, is my theory. Since the body is so heightened, maybe the immune system works the same way. Maybe the immune system gets so pumped up, its able to fight off the "zombie virus". Obviously all this is hypothetical, and maybe somewhat juvenile, but I'd like to know what people think.

Nice too see another World War Z fan here. Solanum would win hands down. The Rage virus makes the victim attack indiscriminately, which would certainly lead to contusions and injuries, which would make the Solanum infection massive and spread rapidly. If the body was already having to fight bloodloss and expend massive amounts of energy running and growling, surely it'd be way more open to infection?

One thing many people do not understand is that a "zombie virus" couldn't exist. A virus requires a living host in order to manipulate it.

The debate here is about a fictional situation, if you did not read the OP.

Solanum, all the way. Just remember, get out of the car and on to the bike.

Yes they did, but they scavenged them from animals that had died naturally. "Viking" is actually an archaic word for "Vegan".

From the "Zombie Survival Guide". It's an entertaining read.
