FEED spoiler party!

Okay, folks, I've been asked for it, and here it is: the spoiler party for Feed. Anything goes in the comments on this post only. If you haven't read the book, I ask that you not click. If you have, feel free to jump in, ask questions, discuss, or just yell at me. I'm cool either way.

Game on!

Okay, now you've got me wondering how zombies are affected by high-voltage lines. And electromagnets. Which has the potential to be absolutely hilarious. As Shaun has demonstrated, tasers have some effect, but I didn't note the significance of it at the time.


On a more serious note, would it then be possible to establish a field around a person which inhibited viral amplification?
I can imagine really high-end level 10 zones having something in place which would keep recently-dead from rising. Not nearly as handy as, say, a working vaccine, but it does have potential. Side effects might be a bit of an issue, though.

No, it wouldn't be, for reasons that require like, nine pages of my virology notes to explain (and they're not sharable, for a lot of reasons, including I don't want to be busted for bio-terrorism).

Ah well. It was an idea. I really need to get back into studying this stuff. I've been on an archaeology kick for years.
