Bird Flu

When is it going to stop? There was a huge outbreak of the bird flu in the Vancouver area just over a month ago. Hundreds of Thousands of chickens were slaughtered. I think even the price of chicken dropped where I live, which is great because chicken is a necessity. And now there's chance that the new strain of bird flu found in the same area is capable of spreading to and killing humans. Here's the thought that came to mind:

Zombies.

Let me explain

In Resident Evil, Umbrella Corporation manufactured a medical mishap they called the 't-virus'. This thing, when ingested or inhaled by living flesh, turned its host into a shambling mass of murder. In George Romeros zombie films it is a virus as well. Sure, flu is a bacteria (isn't it?) but it has the means of spreading from one person to the next. All that needs to be done now is beta test the mushball strain which simply turns people catatonic. Then upgrade the mushball strain with features such as 'consume thy own flesh' and 'hunt anything with two legs and a heart-beat' and we've got the zombie strain.
