Zombie Apocalypse Simulator - Don't Stay In The City!

Cornell University researchers have created a Zombie Apocalypse simulator! They basically concluded what everybody thought really - get out of the cities and head to the Northern Rockies.

It is based in the SIR model as people are either:
(S) = Susceptible,
(I) = Infected or
(R) = Immune.

Although it is pretty obvious that nobody is immune to a zombie apocalypse so there are no (R)'s within this model. They state that there are no viruses that would cause the dead to rise or contribute to a zombie apocalypse (debatable?). However, if there were they believe things would get ridiculously bad, ridiculously fast!
