If the Z-outbreak happens in a hospital which room do you think will have the most zombies?

The waiting room. There would be so many infected that most will turn right in the waiting room before they ever see a doctor. Even those that die while seeing a doctor will turn a few seconds after so they'll never make it to the morgue.

You know...now that you've wonderfully explained it....i guess the morgue really isn't the place for a crapton of zeds

Initially, the emergency room or the waiting rooms depending on how long the infection has run without any raised suspicions. Awareness and viligiance is truly your greatest weapon during an outbreak.

most would think the morgue, but that is not so. if it is a pathogene as most think it will be. the immune systems of a teen to middle aged adult would be fine for the most part, but the maternity ward, the pediactrics and the elderly care wards will be over run with the walking meat piles we so effectionatly dub the walking dead. could you handle seeing your grandma walking with milky eyes. could you handle the row after row of screaming newborn zombies in their intebators and beds. i didnt think so you pansy, now burn that hospital down and get a vehicle. time to get the fuck out of here

Im sorry, but the Morgue is not really where the most zed will be. Most of the bodies in the morgue will have been gutted, samples taken, bodily fluids removed. I'm going with the theory that zombies don't really die and that their heart pumps only to their upper half and that they take really slow breaths, so they can survive for a few days without oxygen and a few hours without blood flow. So all zed in the morgue will have either reanimated during the autopsy or had their organs removed and killed. The waiting room, where the people with minor ingeries, will be more occupied. A bite from an "insane" human will be treated as a low level wound, so they will be penned into the waiting room.

I agree, the ER will eventually hit the limit and with the number of those affected with the bite will be in the waiting room until another location can be found to house all these patients.

It depends on how long it takes someone to reanimate after death; I'm guessing this will depend on body mass, the strength of the immune system before death, the location of the bite and amount of pathogen released into the bloodstream before death, the amount of damage to the body, and probably several other factors. If it takes long enough, then the morgue is probably a good answer, because there will be time to get the bodies down there before they start to reanimate, so you could potentially have a bad situation on your hands. If it happens faster than that, then the emergency room and its waiting area are probably the most likely sites, given that bite victims are likely to go to the ER for treatment; it's likely to be especially bad since anyone in the ER or ER waiting room who either turns without dying first or who dies and reanimates quickly, does so in a place full of living people to infect. The Labor and Delivery ward is a chilling thought (even more disturbing scenario for you, King of Goblins: infected mothers delivering and promptly trying to eat their babies), but I think L&D is less likely to be an initial outbreak site, because most pregnant women who got infected would be at the ER first. Geriatrics is a sad thought, but I see it as less likely mostly because the population there is less likely to be bitten during the initial phases of an outbreak anyway. So, ER it is, unless it's a slow reanimation process.

You know, that's the first thing that really struck me as odd about The Walking Dead (the comic). Why did all the zombies in the hospital end up barricaded in the cafeteria, for heaven's sake? Unless, as my husband just pointed out from over my left shoulder, maybe some hopeful survivors gathered there and then at least one of them turned, so someone else just shut them all in?

I'd wager that the hospital was so over run with scared, wounded people during the early hours (maybe even days) of the outbreak that the hospital had to move many of the new patients to a secondary location for treatment. The cafeteria wouldn't be too far of a stretch, since they could house a fair number of people in there, both the wounded and the displaced survivors. It's very similar to the way gymnasiums are used after large scale disasters like hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes. All it would take was one or two infected in a crowded room to start the chaos. The door could have been barred by the few who escaped or, more likely, any survivors were sealed in shortly after the infection started spreading.

I'll never know. I'll be miles away from any Hospital.
