Now, this being said you would have to be either insane or just really mentally challenged to do this.. but here is my theory and my question.. of would this be possible to create a Armageddon virus?
It is a common myth and story in most horror movies that a flesh eating monster re-animates after death and then roams to kill more and then transmit the virus to others... these monsters are known as Zombies. While fake in most part - with scientific breakthroughs and such that we have now it brings to life the question of if this could truly happen?
Now to get myself straight I'm not saying creating a new virus from nothing. But I am saying that what if I (in theory) wanted to create a massive pandemic that would spread rapidly but kill the infected rather quickly as to stop an army of these infected people and rather just kill them off slowly while attacking and spreading the virus through bites? The dying quickly would be so that the people who create this virus have the chance of living and not having the world taken over by the infected masses.
Well... myself being somewhat of a scientist would suggest a mixture of Ebola and Rabies. Now we run into the most obvious problem that rabies in the human body is fatal and is Zoonotic (i.e. transmitted by animals). However, with the proper set of scientists working on creating a mutated strain of the virus it COULD be possible to make it transmittable through humans. Not that anyone has ever tried it - WHY WOULD THEY!? But it is possible. That would be the cause for biting and spreading through violence (i.e. zombies). Where the Ebola comes in... is for the dying rather quickly as to not have an army of these infected people. Morphing these two would be a quick and horrific virus that would swarm through the population and would be... a... zombie virus.
Correct me if I'm wrong here... but it IS possible. It's just waiting for the proper team of people to get together and formulate the idea into reality. The swine flu and avian flue were harmless to humans and Zoonotic.. but once mixed together... is now H1N1
Thank you.
