That's why the area it popped up in/was discovered in would be under quarantine. It would not be allowed to spread UNLESS it was allowed. This isn't the movies. We have the tech to control something like this.
So, what, they would build an airtight container around the whole place to keep it from spreading through the air? Or what if it happened in multiple places? If it did, we might not be able to be fast enough.
Now you're thinking like the people do in films. Unrealistic. You would be extremely surprised on how fast it would be contained. Unfortunately for some, a Zombie apocalypse is the most unrealistic thing ever.
I know. I'm just saying, hypothetically.
Ok, think about this. It was the cure for cancer thing. So, naturally, tons of people all over the world would get it. It would start turning the people who got it into zombies. Not only that, but the zombie virus is also transported over the air, and a lot of people can get sick just by breathing the air with the virus in it, or coming into contact with the people who have the virus. And remember, also, almost every single person got the thing that stopped cancer (except for those very few to are immune to it) would be turned into zombies. Also, this would start happening without warning. All over the world. Not to mention, the zombie things are stronger and faster.
Do you really think we would be able to contain that fast enough, and efficiently enough, that we could save the few humans who were left, despite know who was immune until everyone else had turned into zombies?
Again, unrealistic. I'm not going to discuss a "what if" scenario as anything could happen in those. If a cure for cancer was found, I doubt they'd let us know. A lot of money is made from treatment right now. Like I said, it would be contained very quickly. Look at the Ebola virus right now, look how quickly they quarantine the people who have it. A deadly virus would be jumped on straight away.
That is the exact scenario in I Am Legend. It wasn't just a what if.
And yes, I know that a deadly virus would be jumped on. But do you honestly think that with everything in my last post happening, not one person outside would get affected? If you think so, I think you have too much faith in our government.
Exactly, it happened in a film which isn't real and is extremely unrealistic. If the same was to happen like it did in I Am Legend, it wouldn't play out the same.
Yes, I do think it would be jumped on and contained very quickly. I have faith in the Government being able to do that. Why wouldn't they?
I think the government would try. But if suddenly, a bunch of really strong zombies started popping up everywhere, I really don't think they would be perfect. I mean, for lack of a better term, the zombies would have the "element of surprise". Also, since it would take a little bit for them to react, how would they know who's been infected? Especially if the reaction isn't immediate.

I would just keep playing minecraft (gotta spend the last moments enjoying life , since there most likely wont be a chance of you surviving if there was no cure and if it was like world war z (with out a cure) than there's no hope in surviving

I would wait on the roof of a building with some water, food, and my Springfield 1911. They will all die out eventually.

I would run to the elementary school that's close to here, make a base in the office, and if it really got bad, I would go to the cafeteria, which is I think the lowest floor of the building, and make weapons and shields out of the food trays there. I would try to find food in there. If I got run out of the cafeteria, then, I would go to any classroom that I know has a computer, and I would use the keyboard and mouse as weapons, along with any sharp scissors I can find, and just go about it from there.
I've always seriously considered what I would do... since I don't have a gun (definitely that would be my first choice IF I had a gun, I'd totally wimp out - as much as I love the idea of a zombie apocalypse I'm pretty sure I wouldn't live long), I would probably barricade myself in my house or a nearby building with high security or advantage points. I have no idea what I'd do about my family. I imagine they'd be dead or unreachable which would drive me literally insane so I'd probably be mentally unstable at any rate. The idea of a zombie apocalypse is compelling but scary as hell!

Let the Natinal Guard massace the zombies. a real zombie apoclypse would not last a day. Even if it did, it would be a few months until Winter or Summer, spelling the end for our decaying 'friends'.

You were a good section.
I will go to NASA in Florida, hijack a space shuttle and launch myself into space and I could go to a better planet just like Earth.
One, I don't think any other planet like earth exists. Second, they aren't sending people into space anymore. Third, do you even know how hard it would be to hijack a shuttle?

There ARE planets like earth out there, but the fact is they're light years away. His plan would still fail miserably though. First he would need to get to NASA, then he would have to hijack a Space Shuttle (Which, as you pointed out, is not an easy feat) then, if he actually managed that, he would realize upon getting into space that he has nowhere near the amount of food, water, or fuel for the journey. Again, an island is probably your best bet in a zombie apocalypse.

If zombies existed then it would be extremely likely that everyone in this thread would become a zombie, so none of this epic zombie fighting stuff would be happening.

Maybe, depends. Actually, what I would do, I would gather as many people as I could, and hide a small building, or maybe one with a lot of supplies. I'd say something like Cabela's or Bass Pro Shop, or a super market like Kroger. We'd just hide in there with as much supplies as we could, practicing with weapons day and night, so eventually, we would become zombies hunters, the world's salvation.
Then again, I could become a zombie. It really depends on how the zombie virus goes around. Would it be through the air, biting, what?

Not enough food, water, fuel, or lifespan.
