  Haha ah great. I think the 28 days later-type, where they’re fast sounds the most interesting.
  
  However I don’t think that sort of brain hungry human illness would happen, there might be something like rabies which would make us more violent though. Also there’s a crazy disease that we can get from cats that can make us take more risks called toxoplasmosis, but it’s nowhere near as full on as what a zombie virus would do!
