(I'd assume more frequent feeding and that humans might just flat out die and not resurrect as a vampire), but that would shorten the projects of humanity wipe out, not lengthen.

No it wouldn't - turning someone every time is how you get the exponential increases in number of vamps that creates catstrophic failure of the ecosystem.

I do recall seeing a similar theory about whether or not you should be afraid of zombies. Zombies I think we can presume either kill or turn with every contact. Therefore, if zombies were fast and hence dangerous, they would have wiped out humanity in short order. So clearly zombies are either a) not real or b) not something you need to worry about.

How do they spread across oceans?

Slowly?

Well, you'd have to assume either they get isolated to the land mass they started out on and die out (if they really need sustenance and infect quickly), they can walk underwater, or they do a pileup thing and don't actually get all that far. Or...if it's a slow infection, maybe they can get people who travel before they know they're a carrier. Or stow away, by mistake (we're assuming no intelligence, right? I hated what 28 Weeks Later did to the original, which is part of my zombie trinity).

Ah, wacka wacka. You're going cross-species with this shit? Can they infect everything? Because zombie birds might be simpler.

That's such an interesting point. It really depends how fast it "takes," right? Can you safely get on a plane and go abroad, or does that open up "abroad" to the zombie plague?

we are really having this discussion? they use sporks in their left hand and never wear seatbelts.

In World War Z it did.

See, if you're in The Walking Dead, you're gonna lose. I'm not sure what they'd fight for. Everyone who dies comes back as a zombie. Who wants extra time to live that sucky life? Yoinks.

I'm a slow zombie person, myself, because it gives you a chance, and something maybe to live for. Fast zombies are just..nuke yourself from orbit.
