The police call it bath salts. The girlfriend calls it voodoo. The internet calls it the zombie apocalypse. Media calls is cannibalism. No matter the name one thing is clear, all is not well in the state of Florida.
Now the third case of cannibalism in Florida, not counting the initial outbreak. The media is never `100% clear about these things and the only way we ever know something for sure is by experiencing it for ourselves. But the case of Charles Baker, looks just a little bit too much like a slow transformation to me.
No matter what it's called, bath salts, cocaine induced psychosis, zombie virus. No matter what the reason, synthetic drugs, aggressive mindset combined with heavy drugs, voodoo, re-animation. The fact is, there is a plague in Florida and it's spreading. In just three weeks since Rudy Eugene ate the face of Ronald Poppo, there have been three other incidents of cannibalism in Florida, the latest with Charles Baker eating part of Jeffery Blakes' arm before being tazed and shot with a stun gun multiple times before finally being taken down with physical force. It may not be the T-virus and they may not be the walking dead but whatever is happening down south is definitely not a freak accident and any drug that can turn a person into an extremely violent cannibal immune to pain is a zombie drug.
Those in the Florida area be exceedingly careful. Obviously things are being hidden here and there is a big puzzle piece missing. While it is possible this is all due to drugs or unrelated events, we know the media is not trust worthy when it comes to giving the whole truth.
On something a little closer to home, and a little more old news. Independent film makers in Edmonton are excited over our own possible zombie invasion. Good old DEdmonton is finally putting funds toward indy film in the city. This means more jobs for artists who are trained here, want to live here, but have to go to Vancouver or Toronto to get work. Over the past few years Edmonton has seen the largest EXPORT of educated youth in Canada. Most of these youth have been artists. All across the country the same story, went to Grant MacEwan or U of A but there's no jobs in Edmonton, Alberta doesn't support the arts. Well I won't say this is a cure all but it definitely helps take a step in the right direction. Edmonton has been known for it's heavy horror-cult community and now the city is finally standing proud behind the name DEdmonton instead of trying to shove it under the carpet. So on the off chance any Edmonton artists are reading this but haven't heard about the new funding, now might be the time to watch how things are going and if you're lucky grab a piece of the pie.
Stay vigilant, may the infection never reach you, and those close to you have the resolve to do what is needed should you be so unfortunate,

Confirmed Class 1, Miami, USA
It's all over the news, probably the most public attack of this kind we've seen in a long time. First thing of note here is that reports are all over the place. Some reports say both men were naked, some say multiple officers were on site, no one agrees where the bullets actually hit on the body, different accounts on what the two men were doing prior to one of them eating the other's face. Be here's what we know for sure:
Police in Miami found a naked man crewing on another man's face. Police verbaling warned the man to which he responded with "growling" and continued eating. Police shot the man once, he didn't even seem to notice. Police continued to fire until the man died. Those are the facts.
Now what else is interesting? The wounded man was "eventually taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital" but the videos that have been leaked through the internet show paramedics completely avoiding the wounded man well after the attacker has been killed.
Not too odd that police have taken all recording and surveillance devices in the area but only certain videos of the event are still being allowed to be posted or kept online. Also both men are claimed to be homeless and their identities are not being released. The names of the paramedics and other onsite staff are also being withheld.
Finally, police are trying to say this is a fairly normal case when it obviously is not. Saying the naked man was suffering from "cocaine psychosis" and they face cases like this all the time where LCD is claimed to the cause.
I could find no further evidence of what became of the man who had been attacked.
UPDATE: the man attacked is currently in hospital police say and the community is raising funds to rebuild his face. But more importantly there were no drugs found in the attackers system besides marijuana. Last I checked marijuana doesn't turn normal people into pain-immune cannibals. Something else is definitely going on.
Details Breakdown-
Location: Miami, USA
Time: May 26, 2012
Infected: 2
Response: Local
Media Coverage: High but contained
My suggestion: To me this appears very clearly to be an attack that got public to widely and too quickly so cocaine and LCD are a quick cover-up. If you live in the Miami area be extremely cautious. If this is truly a cover of some sort than similar events have definitely occurred before and may well again.

Unconfirmed Class 1: Unknown, China
I heard of this outbreak through an online forum. I dismissed the case however when I questioned the person about it and he wouldn't supply any more information beyond what he had already said. Which was that his brother is a private security contractor and had stated this town had been quarantined because of a plague which killed four.
When looking for information on this I found many events in small towns in China where unneeded force has been brought in to secure plague areas. In many of these cases people go missing and never return: even after police and mercenaries show up to quarantine the city. Most cases seem to boil down to a very small area, only a few houses in fact but the whole city gets sealed off each time. This happened in 2009 and 2005 officially but rumors and signs of it happening more commonly can be found.
The response seems a little over the top, police, mercenaries and military support, but at the same time with such a large population, any plague in China could quickly get out of hand. Media is kept to a minimal but this is also very standard of China and can be taken either as the Chinese government hiding something more then most suspect or simply as the tight security they say it is. In the case of each town the personal details of the civilians and soldiers killed are missing.

Keep a close eye on the news. | 3 (42%) |
Ignore any suggestions this may not have been zombies. | 1 (14%) |
Check if anyone you know was involved, or knows someone involved.
This is one of the first steps involved in determining what exactly happened and where the infected may have come from or gone too. It will also be important to find out if these people had been attacked during the outbreak.
Go zombie hunting!
A Class 1 outbreak does not mean open season on the undead. For one, a Class 1 does not pose a huge threat if it is kept in check and there will be a limited number of infected. Second and more important, the law does not acknowledge zombie slaying and killing of zombies in a small scale will be observed as murder. Best left to nonlethal means unless absolutely necessary.
Hide in your panic room.
Panic rooms are for emergency situations to protect yourself for a limited time. If the outbreak were to be Class 2 or heaven forbid Class 3 the panic room would be a good idea to hide it out or even to stay safe for the first few days or a Class 4. But would be relatively pointless in a Class 1.
Grab a few extra supplies like bottled water and canned foods.
Never a bad idea. In this case a great idea.
Search out someone directly involved and get the details.
Very similar to the first option. The difference is this involves actively going searching out and contacting someone who was in the outbreak himself.
Gather your friends together to hide in your panic room.
If going to the panic room alone was extreme, this is the icy on the cake.
Inform the people you trust what the situation is.
This can be the hardest thing to do as a survivor but it must be done, the ones really worth the trust will accept what you have to stay and at least humor the possibility of danger.
Keep a close eye on the news.
This is a must. Don't just watch one station or website but look at as many different feeds from the area as you can find. It is important to note much of this information will not be the truth but if sometimes you can find something that isn't completely false or hidden.
Ignore any suggestions this may not have been zombies.
Well... if this is the course of action taken after an outbreak being confirmed the person who does this will not survive very long after the fall.
Once an outbreak is reasonably certain to be a Class 1 it is important to know as much about it as possible. This is still an information gathering phase. The reason being is that unless directly involved there is no way to be 100% of anything, outbreak status, number of infected involved, termination of all infected, etc. There is no call as of yet to begin searching out the infected as local law enforcement or those on hand can likely handle the situation. If they cannot handle it the person gathering information will hopefully see the signs of a bigger Class 2 or even 3 outbreak before it begins. And those signs are the cue to begin taking a little more extensive measures.

Unconfirmed Class 1 Whittier California
I faced a new challenge this week as I was presented with an outbreak to which I could find no further information.
On February 22, 2011 a name hit the forums of zombie enthusists looking for help. He believed he had encountered the walking dead or something like it. As one can tell this may not be the most reliable source, in fact it is a completely unreliable source. But not a lot of people will search out zombie experts claiming to have been part of an outbreak. Trust me, it's just not that common. So I decided to investigate further.
I breifly interviewed the man and his story is that he saw a man hunched over and breathing loudly and visibly as if he had just been running. He called out if the man needed help and the creature turned to face him. It had a bite wound on its arm which was red, swollen and besides bleeding was excreating some sort of green puss. He said the creatures face was contorted into a beastal anger and his nose was also bleeding and oozing green puss. The creature was grunting the witness said. He began to run and was followed by the creature who was discribed as trying to run but just hobbling. However when he lookd back to see how close it was, it was gone.
I looked into this as much as I could. Watching multiple news feeds from Whittier and LA nothing was mentioned. I scoured pictures looking for a corpse or assalant matching the creature's discription. White male in his 20's, black vest, blue jeans, white runners, clean hair cut. Nothing.
What I did find is a number of suicide cases in the last two weeks. I was able to find the details on three, including one double homocide, suicide but from what I was reading it sounded like there had been others. Not very special, especially considering it is suicide prefention week and the amount of people who live in LA. But what struck me as odd is all three suicides I was able to find details on had been done with firearms. Again not very odd considering firearms are quite common in the states and a fairly common choice when a person wants to leave this world. But also the most common choice when dealing with the undead. And an issue some zombie hunters have faced before the fall, is that local law enforcement does not accept zombies as real and as such treats a zombie death as a homocide.

Class 1: Edmonton, CA
My interest in zombies first started when my cousin showed me one of my favorite zombie films, Undead. The next day I began reading and watching, everything I could get my hands on that had anything to do with the undead; which led to a lot of information, not just about zombies. Many works of fiction about vampires and other undead fell into my lap as I searched.
I hadn’t begun documenting my findings yet but I found a lot and I have been blessed with a great memory which kept track of vital information, unfortunately details like dates and names often illude me.
I read doctor’s reports on voodoo zombies and the drugs and physcology used to create these mindless slaves. I watched everything from White Zombie to 28 Days Later. I was enthralled.
Suddenly about four years ago my world was changed when I experienced my first outbreak report. I was in the process of reading the Zombie Survival Guide when I saw it on the news.
Man shot dead by police after killing his wife and attacking his children and police officers. The man was unarmed and had no history of violence. He just “went mad, like an animal.” One police officer was bitten by the man during the incident.
I phoned around and one of my contacts in the police informed me that the police officer bitten had died of mysterious causes, it was strange to get that information from him instead of on the news as most law enforcement related deaths are. This was my first encounter with news being withheld and I realized just how much might not be being told to the public.
The response was fairly standard for domestic violence, local law enforcement. Media footage was normal as well as the details were not hidden to any noticable extent unless further looked into. The more personal details like the deaths of the police officer or the cause of death of any of the people involved are missing.

Class 1: Montreal, CA
Keeping an eye on the news pays off eventually: when I caught a glimse of a police shooting in Montreal I gave the event my full attention. On February 5, 2011 police shot and killed a man in Montreal. A sad but not uncommon occurance. What was strange are the following:
No information about the man shot was released, for instance his history, was he in a gang or has a history of violence? Or was he an ideal citizen suddenly gone wild? Nor were the circumstances of the shooting given. Were there witnesses? Was he armed? -A dead give away to if it is a zombie or a crazed human is if the target tries to use a weapon of some sort.- Did he try to bite or otherwise attack anyone? Who called it into police? All questions left completely unanswered about this event.
The response to this event seems strange for a run of the mill shooting as well. The footage showed a large number of police and medical staff on hand. Also anyone shown near the bag holding the corpse of the man shot was wearing a gas mask. With the exception of one Canadian Armed Forces officer who was caught in one of the clips over seeing the body being put into an ambulance. This is something many people might not catch but instantly raises a red flag. Why would military personal be on site after a police shooting, even one that ended in a death? It would seem to be a local law enforcement issue, not something to involve the military, unless something larger was at stake. Esspecially if a number of similar events have been taking place in Montreal.
The details breakdown-
Location: Montreal, Canada
Time: Febraury 5, 2011
Infected: 1 (estimate)
Response: Police with military suporvison.
Media Coverage: Some footage, no details.
My suggestion: if you live in Montreal, or plan to be visiting soon like I will be, keep a close watch on any events the involve shootings or missing persons. The prolbem is because of all the gang violence in Montreal it may be hard to spot which is which. For instance a shooting which left two dead, two wounded and one man missing in the Famingo in Old Montreal, I would normally pass off as gang violence, even with my suspecious scrutiny but given the other strange shootings even this seemingly obvious gang hit might be something even scarier.
