The article below from http://news.nationalgeographic.com/ is about the possibility of a combination 'rabies-flu virus' causing a zombie like state in humans. I read an article a few years ago where some scientist were actually working on combining rabies and influenza. I'm certain I posted it in this blog but I can't find it now, neither in my blog nor the original article. I remember questioning why on earth would anyone in their right minds be even entertaining the thought of combining the two!
The answer is a race who sees themselves as superior. There is such a race and it's not German NAZIs. This race considers themselves an entirely different species as the rest of humankind. In fact, they believe they are the only humans and the other races are beast, lower than the animal species, who exist only to serve them.
"Zombie Virus" Possible via Rabies-Flu Hybrid?
Highly improbable genetic tweak could create mutant virus.
In the zombie flicks 28 Days Later and I Am Legend, an unstoppable viral plague sweeps across humanity, transforming people into mindless monsters with cannibalistic tendencies.
Though dead humans can't come back to life, certain viruses can induce such aggressive, zombie-like behavior, scientists say in the new National Geographic Channel documentary The Truth Behind Zombies, premiering Saturday at 10 p.m. ET/PT. (National Geographic News is part of the National Geographic Society, which part-owns the National Geographic Channel.)
For instance, rabies—a viral disease that infects the central nervous system—can drive people to be violently mad, according to Samita Andreansky, a virologist at the University of Miami's Miller School of Medicine in Florida who also appears in the documentary.
Combine rabies with the ability of a flu virus to spread quickly through the air, and you might have the makings of a zombie apocalypse.
