Re: Would you survive?
While the zombies in Brooks' guide aren't as dangerous as others, they have something most others don't: durability. Most other zombies, sure you have to shoot 'em in the head, but you can be messy about it; or you don't -HAVE- to shoot the head, because a zombie head with no body isn't a threat. If you're messy with Brooks' zombies, the virus will persist, and humanity is fucked. Not to mention that, yeah, the majority of human beings don't see zombies as a real, can-happen threat, so the initial outbreak will be devastating; also that people who don't see it for an outbreak, may not necessarily kill the zombies, merely blow them to bits, but the head will fly somewhere, waiting to bite any passerby.
Sure, I disagree with some of the things; i.e., I think they'll be able to climb, run, jump, etc., but it will take time for the virus to evolve to that level, hopefully enough time that we manage to get people informed as to what to do.
All-in-all, yeah, Brooks' zombies don't seem dangerous, but I'll take the non-viral variety any day.
