However long it takes for the guys at the power plant to either become zombies or say "fuck this I'm getting out of here" so probably not very long. I don't know the logistics of how internet works, but hopefully the internet would stay up so we could know whats going on.

There's not going to be a zombie apocalypse, so i'm not too worried about it.

in all form I bet not until the very very end, or maybe never. For most people in the mainstream networks of either probably like a week from first infection? we'll see

i think the gov't would keep it up. do you ever remember a time when one dog got rabies and then that dogs infected all the other dogs. no you don't because everyone is smart enough to stay away from bad looking animals. so in theory everyone should be smart enough to stay away from zombies

but there are a lot more people than there are dogs, and rabies doesnt make dogs hungry for other dogs' flesh.

yeah but doesnt it make dogs go crazy and attack other things randomy .. idk i feel like we would quartine the shit out of a zombie.

i think it depends on the type of zombies. walking dead/ dawn of the dead kind i feel like we could easily avoid. on the other hand a 28 days later zombie and we are all screwed

I would think Canada would do a bit better than the US, since hydroelectric supplies almost 60% of Canada, and hydroelectric could probably keep going without operators for at least a few days. The US is more than 50% supplied by coal, and coal plants need a new supply of crushed coal every few hours. But either way, the rolling blackouts are going to be starting within 24 hours.

The moral of the story is: keep up with the routine maintenance on the solar panel on your survival bunker.
