Cool zombie outbreak simulator

Scientists determine the nation’s safest places to ride out a zombie apocalypse In the article there's a link to a simulator with a map you can click on to start a zombie outbreak at any point in the United States, and see how fast it spreads based on detailed census data on population density - http://mattbierbaum.github.io/zombies-usa/

I've been looking for a really good outbreak map forever. And while I do have some issues with the article, mostly in regards to items like an infected person(but not yet turned)couldn't transmit the disease; thus mass transit wasn't a worry in this scenario. I did enjoy the encouragement of imagination within logic, which even folks like Einstein regarded as the hallmark of human achievement.

Doesn't take into account Romero/Walking Dead style "every one who dies comes back" either. It's predicating the spread solely on bite/turn/zombie spreads. I imagine that scenario would look like the map above on steroids.

I imagine that scenario would look like the map above on steroids. True that, but you forgot one major thing - all of us zombie fans. We know how this works. We'd be removing-the-heads-or-destroying-the-brains from jump.
