Like I said, he has fallen pretty far. The first few episodes before Rick came back he was doing well leading the group. He is pretty pathetic at the moment.

Considering he didn't know if the zombie disease was a virus, bacteria, or fungus, I wonder how he could test for it?

how the heck can they not know if its viral, fungal, or bacterial. just doing a blood test and checking wbc count should be a pretty big clue. cdc is not that incompetent.

I didn't get to watch the season finale but from the Wildfire episode and how he was experimenting with the TS-19 sample leads me to think he knew what it was. Or at least how to identify it.

Yeah, you would think. That's why I thought his statement about not even knowing what it was was idiotic. Plus then he gave the impression that the French were close to a solution.... Wouldn't they have shared what they were doing if they were in communication?

Anyway, I am normally pretty good about suspending disbelief but this whole episode in the CDC was a bit stupid.

So unrealistic that the military that destroyed the Nazis and Japs is overwhelmed by zombies. Stoopid show

Might not have been zombies per se. Figure there was probably plenty of rioting and mobs of non-zombies converging on the cities and probably on the CDC. Things get out of hand, people get shot and suddenly you have mobs of humans + zombies all at once. Military morale was probably low and desertion was probably high.

Really? You guys **** on the show for every single "unrealistic" thing and that's your best answer as to why the military didn't come to grips with the infestation by quarantining the area? I guess it'd be helpful to know what caused the infestation but wow.

Actually, I'd say it's very sound speculation on the military's failure. If the military had seen it coming, they may have been able to stem the downfall, but it sounds like it was extremely sudden, hence the complete inability to mobilize effectively, let alone prepare.

When did I "**** on the show for every single "unrealistic" thing"?

Plus, if there's one thing slower than a zombie, it's tactical chain of command/bureaucracy. "do I shoot these things?" "hold position while we come up with a cover our own ass strategy to explain why the U.S. military is shooting what appear to be unarmed civilians"
