CDC Launches Zombie Apocalypse Survival Guide

Add caption
 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention just published its official Zombie Apocalypse Survival Guide, yet left out crucial information for a zombie target demographic: geeks.
Should America become besieged by undead hordes, United States Federal agency CDC (“Your source for credible health information”) now has us covered. Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse officially has everything we need to know about preparedness in the event of a zombie virus outbreak.
Or does it?
The best part might just be the comments.
Clearly, the CDC has put their official, Federal stamp on a viral disaster survival guide that has enough whimsy to remind us that an official institution is in touch with pop culture, while it delivers a small sermon on making it during a crisis that has only ever existed in fiction and horror films.
My only concern is that when the real zombie outbreak happens, no one will take the CDC seriously when the real zombies come.
That the CDC has created this guide shouldn’t come as a surprise, really. I mean, besides the inevitableness of the zombie virus outbreak, it seems that even the head of FEMA has been working on some kind of plan, as evidenced in a photo candidly showing the Director’s choice of office reading material.
When the Washington Post ran an interview with FEMA’s Craig Fugate about the 5-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina last August, the interview was accompanied by a photo of Fugate in his office, with a caption explaining that Fugate “keeps his FEMA office sparse with Florida Gator mementos.”
