From a neat site on zombies.
Quote:
One thing is for certain: If zombies don’t take a considerably longer time to rot than their deceased human counterparts, we may be in much less trouble when the undead rise than originally thought. Especially if it spreads very quickly.
Assuming that fresh stage decay takes two weeks to complete, it’s likely that by five weeks after outbreak there would be virtually no more Zombies anywhere. All you’d need to do is hide out in a safe place with enough food and water for a month, and you could emerge the leader of a new world.
