Zombie Economics and Other Undead Ideas

Zombie Economics is a forthcoming book by John Quiggin. In introducing his book and the concept of the undead ideas, he writes:

(from Ads of the World)

On Ads of the World where I found this gem. A "guest" gave this description, "jaded suburban kids totally over the whole zombie thing".

Zombies No Threat to Health

Dr. Oliver Morgan, of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, has looked into the problem of corpse disposal after mass casualty events. He has discovered that that simple precautions, gloves, masks and hand washing, can reduce the risk of handling corpses.
