CDC's Zombie Apocalypse Survial Guide

Yes, it's true the CDC has a plan in place for the enviable day our deceased relatives rise up from the ground to feast on our brains. Don't believe me? You can read the Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse guide right on the CDC's website.Here's a nice quote to show just how serious they really are:
"If zombies did start roaming the streets, CDC would conduct an investigation much like any other disease outbreak. CDC would provide technical assistance to cities, states, or international partners dealing with a zombie infestation."

CDC's actual Zombie preparedness badge.

It goes on to talk about how they'll use quarantines to maintain an an 'infection control area'. Which interestingly enough, is exactly what happens to Nate and Misty in my upcoming novel, Super Zombie Juice Mega Bomb--they get stuck on the wrong side of the 'infection control area' (hey agents, it's still available, but I've got 2 fulls and a partial out, so you better act quick).
Now, since this is a government guide, they enviably end up giving some bad advice; like when they advise that families, "Pick one place right outside your home" for a meeting place, they suggest the mailbox.
Okay, are Zombies somehow reluctant to attack people gathered around mailboxes?
Honestly, the guide is a little tongue in cheek. But they really seem to acknowledge the possibility of a zombie invasion of one sort or another.

Hmmm, I wonder if this would help or hurt the sales of zombie fiction?
