Na. You're making a bunch of assumptions that may not be true. - Scientists, especially early in an outbreak may not have the procedures down. For example, they will have to study specimens and take samples somehow. Where or how will they get the specimens? How will they put them into quarantine? If they need to be live specimens, this becomes even harder. How do they contain and sedate the specimens? I agree they will better than most movie scientists, but it's hardly a foregone conclusion that everything will safe and fine in perpetuity. - I doubt this is true. There aren't enough armored vehicles for soldiers to be in one at all times. Plus mission parameters won't allow for that. For example, what if they need to secure a building? Also grunts are grunts, not hazmat experts. People will make mistakes. Plus even if you're right about this, this say nothing about spreading through the orders-of-magnitude-large civilian population. - I think you're arbitrarily mixing your zombie mythos. If it's a braaaaains type zombie it's a magical undead creature, and none of your scientific assumptions hold. If it's a virulent disease type zombie, then they can eat more than just human brains. And even if we imagine a scenario where the disease only lets them eat human brains, then it doesn't really matter since the wave of zombie outbreak will hit people regardless of whether the ones closer to ground zero are still alive or not. If they only survive for a couple days after turning, they are still successful if they spread to a new host before that happens. - You're assuming the incubation period is short. If it starts out like a flu outbreak or something, people who are sick but don't know it yet can land on Australia. Fight me!
