Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't "zombies" dead and then come back to life as a zombie??
All these incidents that are happening in the news, these people are alive, NO?
I don't understand the anatomy of a zombie, but that is my understanding.

Technically yes - Zombies are supposed to be dead, but like many words Zombie has gotten a broader cast. The reality is a Zombie is a mindless killing and eating machine driven by a singular desire.
What is really the scare here is the rampant increase in the reports. Now, if you go with the I am Legned mindset, maybe there is a rabies like sickness going around, who knows. In the end, when it comes it will most likely be by an enemy we cannot see, taste, smell or hear.
or more likely the world is getting crazier by the minute becase there are just too many of us and we are out of balance with Nature, and she will right that imbalance one day.

I call lame on the CDC for ever posting such a thing (the original zombie outbreak poo) in the first place. They are a govt agency operating on our tax dollars and have no business posting 'tongue in cheek' crap on an official website. Their job is to protect us from disease... In a straightforward way. No need to confuse anyone.

So these things happen all the time, with this frequency?
And only now the sensationalist media (and they have been just that since forever) decides to exploit the stories?
If this is so, why did we hear about Jeffrey Dahmer?

Correct. "Zombie" stories are the flavor of the day. Soon the public will get bored and they'll switch back to Kim Kardashian or something. It is the way the media has and will work.
