In their study, published Saturday, the scientists reported their research. To do this, the team asked two questions: “How likely is there a zombie outbreak in the city?” and “what is the probability that a human will survive an encounter with a zombie?”.
To answer these questions, the researchers created a simulation of the spread in Helsinki as well as in rural areas. “The problem is that we are moving forward blindly, because the real data on these questions is extremely limited,” Professor Lauri Viitasaari, head of the model, told Unilad media. “However, the model showed that if an outbreak did start, it would likely spread very quickly, within about seven hours, through an entire city.”
Zombies, myth or reality? In Haiti, they exist and pose a problem to society
Professor Pauliina Ilmonen, head of the study, was surprised at how quickly “we would have to react to save our population”. Humanity would in fact only have seven hours to quarantine the population after the contamination of patient zero.
Although the study started out as a scientific curiosity, the team believes that “it could contribute to the fight against diseases and other problems in the future”. “Because it simulates the actions of individuals, it can also be used to test the impact of misinformation on the spread of an epidemic (for example, by causing some ‘zombie deniers’ to ignore warnings). ”
