Unlike traditional horror films where the good guys pull together at the last minute and blow up/burn or otherwise deal with the zombies attacking them, there’s not going to be a happy ending to this one. For a number of reasons various strategies to deal with this problem haven’t or won’t work. This is obvious if you look at the stats: the number of infected machines keeps rising steadily, and the researchers keep coming up with new discoveries that have little to no affect on the problem. Much like the film Dr. Strangelove, we’re at the point of no return; we may as well yell and twirl our hats around for all the good it’ll do us.
