A real-life zombie outbreak would leave the world's population in shambles, with less than 300 survivors remaining a mere one hundred days into the apocalypse, according to students from the University of Leicester.

Assuming that a zombie can find one person each day, with a 90 per cent chance of infecting victims with the zombie infection, the students from the University of Leicester Department of Physics and Astronomy suggest that by day one hundred there be just 273 remaining human survivors, outnumbered a million to one by zombies.

  • Ah, the air is so much fresher here...
Unless rabies goes airborne, I think we're safe.

A total financial collapse is a different story though.

"Assuming that a zombie can find one person each day"

That's a mighty big assumption.  Hopefully they accounted for the fact that that rate must decrease over time.
