Flies and zombies?

If we entered a time of Civil Unrest/Armageddon/Zombie Attacking, what would we do?

But isn't one of the premises of the series, is that everyone already has the virus, but it only starts working when you die..??

Wether they have the virus before they zombify or not doesnt explain the lack of flies.
Even just a few now and then would offer a bit more realism.
Film makers of African tribe people have nailed it with their footage, flies all over them and they are'nt even dead. teanews

Another thing I've said all along is if this zombie stuff was hypothetically real then surely anything that runs, crawls or flies and feeds on dead flesh would very quickly reduce the walking dead to a pile of bones!!!???.

often wondered why mozzies dont sread HIV or is that what we are told .......

I would have thought that if they spread malaria (blood disease) then they would transfer all blood diseases.

I found this.......

"There are some important factors which have proven that AIDS is not transmitted by mosquito bite. These factors are: (1) AIDS virus can not replicate inside the mosquito, bed bug, flea, or other blood sucking insect and the lack of replication of HIV in arthropod cells due to lack of T4 antigen on cell surface, and (2) it is unlikely that HIV is transmitted by insects, given the low infectivity of HIV and the short survival of the virus in the mosquito. HIV appears to be much less easily transmitted probably due to lower titers of virus in body fluids. So, on the basis of experimental evidence and probability estimates, it has been concluded that the likelihood of mechanical or biological transmission of HIV by insects is virtually nonexistent."

My main problem with it is the long stretches of episodes where nothing happens then suddenly its all,

bang bang
chop
bang
sadism
really questionable moment

bang bang

then 3 more episodes off dull.

Sad to say i need a plot with development and pace
