Zombie Travel Bug Dispersion Tracker

It’s been awhile. There’ve been 62553 sightings in 36 countries since we last reported a little over a year ago. In the U. S. there have been 15222 sightings in 47 of the 50 states and the District of Columbia since that same report. Standouts: France at 1864, Germany at 1516 and The Netherlands at 543. In the U. S. Florida had 2370, Virginia had 2301, Connecticut had 2167, Maryland 1733, Massachusetts 1462 New York dropping off with only 977 and Washington (the state) on the rise with 766. South Africa had only 20 hits.

158 of 359 known ZTBs moved in 47 states and 29 countries since the last update. There were 18353 sightings in the United Sates, and 5173 sightings elsewhere on the planet. Texas, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York all had over 1000 sightings. Germany had over 2500 sightings, Belgium over 600 and the UKL over 300.

Due to technical issues, the graphics for this update (in this post) only include sightings between 11 DEC 2020 and 13 JAN 2021. Overall, all numbers and graphics on the site include all sitings since our last post and the update in August of 2020. Don’t have a body count for you this time around, it is just too exhausting and depressing. The primary active areas since we ran the gear in December showed the U.S.A. and Germany to be the most active areas, followed by Norway. In the U. S. A. New England and California topped the charts. The graphics below will give you some idea. Wash your hands. Seal your face or seal your fate. With multiple viruses running around, and all of us hosting them, well, you know the drill by now.

138 of the 359 known cases were sighted during this reporting period. There were 9127 sightings in 41 countries not counting the U.S. 12057 sightings in the U.S, but none in Montana and North Dakota. The eastern seaboard of the U.S continues to be problematic. Overall, North America and Europe were the hotspots, and there were 148 sightings in Australia. In Europe, Germany, France and Norway continue to suffer the most, with areas in eastern Europe, primarily centered on the Czech republic, following closely.

Here’s some imagery for you:

Wear a mask. Wash your hands. Don’t come back as a living dead cacher. They don’t smell so good.

161 0f the known 359 ZTBs were sighted since the last update. All states and the District of Columbia except Alaska had sightings. In total for the U.S. there were 25286 individual sightings, with Oklahoma and Texas leading the pack, all up over 3000, Oklahoma pushing five thousand sightings. Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Virginia, Maryland and New York were the follow on high frequency states, all up over a thousand.

Elsewhere in the world, Germany, South Africa and France were the high activity areas. Here’s a snapshot of Europe:

And here’s a snapshot of Africa:

Be careful out there, particularly if you are in the northern hemisphere; sightings tend to pick up in the summer…

Zekester is now semi-coherent (this differs from his previous iteration how?), we’re on the 3rd clone attempt. His latest complete phrase is” I’m not the clone I used to be.”

21K+ hits in North America, almost 6K in Europe. The numbers are down in the hundreds from there, With Australia, Asia, the Middle East and South America reporting from 300+ to 3, in descending order. Number of new locations this go around, many in more isolated spots, which is concerning. Here they art in alpha-order: Albania, Bermuda, Chile, Cayman Islands, Kosovo, Laos, Macedonia, Myanmar, Namibia, Nepal, Panama, San Merino Thailand and Vietnam. No hug outbreak reported yet as a result of the World Cup in Russia.

Locally, thousands of hits in many of the east coast states, and numerous states up over a hundred our two. Or three. Or five. Alaska, and North Dakota were the only two with no reports, and Arkansas continues to have minimal activity.

Be safe, watch each others backs, and don’t get bit!

A lot has happened since February. You may recall we had successfully repelled 3 onslaughts at the time of the last posting, well, we were not so successful on the fourth. Overrun AGAIN.

Zekester got bit. We’d frozen his stem cells, as well as some bone marrow and a portion of his mustache. His cloning is going well, although the mind-swap upload from hardware to wetware has been a bit glitchy. Personally, I’m not sure anyone will notice the difference.

Anyway, rather than pound you with numbers, here’s a graphic:

Hits in all of the states and DC. Europe gone to shit. Summertime in northern Europe no picnic. Increased activity in South America, South Africa and Australia neck and neck. Not the sort of competition that appeals, really. Malyasia up and coming, poor bastards. Well, you’ve got the picture. Keep your head down, and if you are in the states, go to Arkansas, they only had one hit this period. If you can get there.

Cheers,

Three weeks since last update. Maryland, Virginia, Connecticut and Florida have most activity this go-round, they are pounding on our doors right dow, but defenses seem to be holding. Germany, Finland and France were hit hard this time overseas, and Botswana had its first case. Unconfirmed reports of six new ZTBs just coming in. Stay safe out there!

Those of you living in the states may want to consider paying close attention to some of the conclusions reached in the scientific paper linked below:

Zombie Epidemiology

While the scientists involved did not use any of the data we have gathered thus far, it is interesting to note how their conclusions eerily mirror the results we have seen.

Many thanks to the Mercury Team for reporting in our absence, and for the dozens of folks (many of whom we sadly lost in the battle) who helped reclaim our original compound. We apologize for the intermittent reporting that has plagued our efforts, and are working with renewed vigor to bring you the latest and most accurate data we can on the spread the ZTB plague.

We’ve burned our dead, revamped the servers and are moving onward.

Since the Mercury Team reported on 30 OCT there have been 9 known ZTBs marked missing. There have been no reports on new ZTBs. we had 17376 sightings in 45 of the United States. Nevada, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Virginia Maryland and Florida all had over 225 hits. Texas, New Hampshire, Ohio and New York all had better than 100 hits. The maps below may tell the story better.

There were 1566 sitings in 39 other countries around the world during the same reporting period. Here, Germany continues to be worst hit, followed by France, Finland, Belgium and Kenya. The upsurge f activity in Africa is most worrisome. Below are snapshots of activity of this reporting period in Europe and worldwide:

Stay safe out there folks. No telling what is in store for 2107….
