"The patient had no focal neurologic findings and no hyperreflexia or increased muscle tone. His overall score on the Glasgow Coma Scale was 13 (scores range from 3 to 15, with 15 being normal); his scores for eye response and for verbal response were 4, and his score for motor response was 5. He had intermittent periods of “zombielike” groaning and slow mechanical movements of the arms and legs."

Sounds like a real life X-files episode. Maybe we were right to ignore climate change, given that we're all doomed anyway.

I'm relieved that he isn't a fast zombie. whew

Also a relief that it's not a pathogen so he can't infect others.

But with enough drugs in the system, conceivably the zombie phenotype could be transferable with a bite.
