And if this is how the apocolypse comes then, my dear Luna, the fish may be gone as well. We don't know that the infection doesn't extend to animals. Just one bite (either way? fish on decaying corpse? or corpse on lingering fish. Then we have to worry about blood thirsty Zombie Sharks.)(And don't even get me started on fish mutations cause if anyone starts talking about flying zombie sharks we are F***ed!)

double post.
I keep thinking about it because they are viable source of protein and have a quick turnaround time if you can find them and rear them. I am of course talking bugs.

Fair enough, but if the infection can jump species, then there's no plan that'll help us. Birds and mosquitoes, bees and spiders will get everyone pretty quickly.

And if Finland runs out of fish, then I'm pretty much fucked, since we can't really grow more than one crop a year here, maybe two if we're lucky.

As far as plants and growing things.. I know that potatos can be grown in the dark and just need soil. What I read is that a lot of people use old tires to grow them. There are lots of ways to grow viable food sources, BUTTTT, you'd need someone hella experienced at it or access to the books.
Actually we do know that the infection is human specific. Marcus stated that dogs are immune and it's one of the reasons he kept them as guards..besides being loyal.

even if the bugs only become carriers instead of the infected (i.e. eating infected flesh) then the spread is much farther and deeper than any bunker can handle. *hangs head to weep*
we just can't battle the bugs too... unless they are huge and ravenous, but that is a different story.

edit: thanks for remembering that tidbit Bar. I feel better already. I hear you on the books. still wonder if I should be downloading the internet onto a portable, or at least part of it. Think it is brilliant of KC to keep the survivors away from the Libraries on account of the Smarties. books are forever unless they burn or unless they are guarded by army of deadly undead.

Yet another reason to hate ants and mosquitoes...

@ Corwbar: You can never be too careful :p
