Zombie Travel Bug Dispersion Tracker

Suffered a concussion while combatting another incursion to the bunker, so I’ll be brief as my head is pounding. We had 976 reports in the last week, from 16 states and 10 countries. 833 sightings in the states, 143 overseas, reports on 94 ZTBs all told. Maryland and Massachusetts are getting pounded, and Virginia is starting to boil. Stay way from the mid-Atlantic states and New England if you can. Portugal has picked up again, as well as Germany, and things are getting worse in northern Norway. If you are coming our way, we could use fuel and ammo, as well as any kind of produce. We lost two of the container farms. Good luck.

1301 hits in the last 8 days, so activity has slowed a little. We had reports on 39% of known active ZTBs, in 29 countries and 26 states in the U. S. Maryland, Massachusetts and New York were worst of, and activity in Virginia is ramping up. Portugal has picked back up considerably, and Norway as well. Germany continues to have a lot of activity too. We had odd spurious reports from a number of outlying places, like the Northern Mariana Islands, and Antarctica. If this has spread to places that remote, hope is dwindling. Grim news. Be safe out there.

We had reports on 99 ZTBs in the last nine days, in 18 states and 13 countries. The outbreak in eastern Europe continues to expand, with major activity in Croatia (326) hits. Portugal had an uptick as well, but we think the real story is in Asia. While the numbers were not exceptionally high, we have seen steady reports over the last few months from this region, and the new outbreak in South Korea, as well as continued reports from Japan, and 40 new reports from China are grim news. While this may seem like small potatoes to those of us who have faced major outbreaks, we all must remember that it started small. We’re anxious to see what happens in this region over time. Hopefully it is not a repeat of what is happening here.

We had the usual high activity here in Maryland, but that is expected at this point. Disturbingly, the spread into Virginia continues, and Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island continue to see very high activity. All that being said, New Jersey seems to be the new hotspot, with 478 reports in the last nine days, higher than anywhere else on the planet.We can only hope it does not get worse.

Numbers here were generated on 21MAR2016, but we lost power and had another breach, so we’ve been in a bit of a struggle to get back online. In the ten days since the report on the 11th, we received reports on 89 ZTBs, with a total of 1594 hits, 334 overseas and 1260 here in the states. Maryland (no surprise) was the major hot-spot here, as we continue to see the effects of the Second-Wave. We had 462 reports here, 125 in Virginia and 122 in West Virginia, as well as 31 in Pennsylvania and 26 in Delaware. Our bunker is basically under siege.

There was an uptick in activity in California and Colorado, and New England continues to suffer horribly, Massachusetts and Connecticut getting the brunt of it. Germany and Hungary were the major hotspots overseas, but we also saw an uptick in Japan, where we have not previously seen a lot of activity. Given that we have recently had reports from Hong Kong and Macau recently as well, we are starting to get concerned about Asia. Portugal was curiously quiet after a lot of activity in the previous months. Hard to suss out what is really going on overall, but we are working on some diagnostic tools.

We have had spotty and intermittent reports of a new outbreak in New Jersey, but have not yet seen any real change in the numbers there. A scouting team was sent north to check it out, but we lost all but one of them, they got no further north than Philadelphia. Stay safe out there!

In the last 23 days, we had reports on 105 ZTBs, including 4 missing (Patient # 24 – Diego, Patient # 43 – Beverly, Patient # 186 – Mason and Patient # 192 – Rudiger). 2650 reports in the US, in 36 states, 551 reports in 20 other countries. Heavy activity in the Balearic Islands (in the Med, south of Spain) as well as the Languedoc area of France. New areas include Leira, and the Madeira Islands (Portugal); Okinawa, Japan; Lazlo, Italy; Hainaut, Belgium, and Costa Rica. Heaviest concentrations of infection overseas this time around were Spain at 125, France at 85, Germany at 72, and Portugal at 53. Slovakia, Hungary, Canada and Costa Rica all had over 30 hits each. In the states, heaviest concentrations of infection were as follows: Maryland 686, West Virginia 372, Connecticut 282, Virginia 111, Pennsylvania 101, New Jersey at 75, Utah 69, California 65 Hawaii at 57 and Massachusetts at 56. We suspect the upticks in activity in Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia were the results of the recent “second wave.” There have also been reports of a new outbreak in northern Utah. Stay safe out there. as things warm up in the northern hemisphere, it is only bound to get worse.

It has been eleven days since our report on the second wave outbreak, and there is little let up in ZTB activity. In spite of a two foot snowfall, we saw an additional 248 reports on ZTBs here in Maryland. Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Jersey continue to be very hot. Rhode Island and New York are not far behind. There seems to have been an major outbreak in the Huntsville, Alabama area as well, with 96 reports in the northern portion of that state.

Overseas, Germany continues to be one of the harder hit areas, with 614 reports this cycle. Most seem to be concentrated on the German/French border near the Saar and Aquitaine. The recent outbreak in Hungary has expanded rapidly with 348 hits this reporting period. Other eastern European countries had numerous reports too, including Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Reports coining to trickle in from Asia as well, we heard again from Taiwan, Australia and Japan.

We had 1678 reports on 65 ZTBs in 20 states and 12 countries this reporting cycle.

Hunkered down in the bunker, surrounded by what would normally be that grey thawed band refrozen snow, our is a dull rust color. We bet you know why. Be careful out there!

Our apologies, maintaining these updates anything better than a month or so periodicity has proven an incredible struggle. There has been a major second wave outbreak here in Maryland, where containment was breached at one of the core research centers in the center of the state. Patient # 1 – Judy, who carries one of the most virulent strains we know of, escaped and infected numerous researchers and others in and around Frederick, Maryland, a huge setback. The results of this cannot be underestimated; we had as many new ZTBs spawned in minutes as we did in the first few weeks of the initial infection. Th east coast of the United States is under siege, with over 1560 reports in Maryland alone since we last reported, and high counts up and down the coast including 432 reports in Massachusetts and 610 reports in Florida. Even the heavily fortified District of Columbia had 54 hits. States as far away as Hawaii suffered an uptick (there were 48 reports there). Things are looking grim in North America.

While normally we see something of a reduction of activity in the northern hemisphere during Winter, thus far that has not been the case. We are seeing an increase in activity in Europe, with 675 reports in hard-hit Germany, and 152 reports from Austria, and 298 reports from France. The UK, Hungary, Greece, Portugal all had greater than thirty new reports. The spread continues in Australia as well, where there were 94 new sightings. We are still seeing an upward trend everywhere. Be safe out there.

We had no reports of infection in Hungary before. There were additional reports in Taiwan as well. Countries with more than 25 reports this period include Hungary, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Canada and of course, Germany. We had reports from 14 different countries and 27 states here in America, on 91 different ZTBs. Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York continue to report numerous sightings, and Maine and New Jersey were not far behind this time around. We also had significant activity reported in Florida and in California. Maryland, where it all started, continues to be a hotbed of activity. The warmth on the east coast in recent weeks has not helped us, and we fear there is more grim news ahead. Stay safe.

There have been 16 new ZTBs reported on since our last report 2 weeks ago. In that report, we had 11 new ZTBs. That is an increase of 27 in the last month, a most frightening development. During this reporting period we had hits on 75 different ZTBs from 11 countries around the globe and 22 of the fifty states here in the U.S.A. There were a total of 1365 reports, hot spots in the sates were Maryland and Massachusetts, both in the 400-450 range. Overseas, Australia, Germany and Malta were the heavy hitters. We also had our first report from Taiwan. Stay safe out there!

I the last 12 days we have had 1592 reports on 52 different ZYBs in 29 different states of the U.S.A. and in 13 different countries. Germany was the hot spot overseas, with 59 reports; Georgia and Texas had over 70 reports each, California, Maryland, New York and West Virginia all had over 100 reports, and Connecticut and Florida had over 200 reports each. While the northern hemisphere is cooling down, the ZTB activity does not seem to be. It should also be noted that we had reports on 11 new ZTBs since our last update. Stay safe out there.
