the CDC plans for the inevitable zombie invasion

Bahahaha! I officially love the CDC for putting out a Zombie Preparedness page and comic book. [source] I have put a lot of thought into my zombie plan for the the hospital is inevitably taken over. I work in the basement near the morgue which puts me at an immediate disadvantage, BUT my area is its own fire zone with strong fire door, I'm below the MRI machines which means my walls are super reinforced, and the cafeteria is also on this floor. I figure the zombies will start coming out of the ER or OR before they start popping up in the morgue, so I'll have a little warning. I fully intend on turning the backpack I use to carry my work-out clothes into an emergency kit that I can take with me anywhere. So, all I'd have to do is hole up for a few days to a week. The hospitals will be the first places they hit...and then the first places they leave. 

Once the coast is marginally clear I can make a melee weapon out of any number of heavy things in my office and resupply in the cafeteria as needed. Then, once I'm able to block of the morgue and secure most of the basement I'll start filling one of the ambulances out back up with non-perishables from the cafeteria and drugs from the pharmacy, including sterile needles, equipment, and microscopes. Once I've got a decent stock going I'll drive home and grab Beau. I think it's safe to assume that cell phones and internet coverage won't be obliterated immediately, so we'll have probably stayed in contact. I'll retrieve him and our roommates from the basement of our house where they'll probably have been blockaded in and then we'll all head to the prison. 

The Walla Walla penitentiary has high walls with barbed wire, its own source of energy from the windmills, I assume its own water supply, guns, ammo, food, etc. By the time we make it there it will definitely be a place the military are taking citizens for the safe zone. They'll welcome us with open arms because our supplies will not only add to their own but make it easier to screen people's blood. I imagine we'll have to vote on what to do with the prisoners in order to make room for citizens, but that decision hopefully will be able to be postponed a little while, if made at all. This town is full of farmers...farmers with shotguns. I'm sure we'll have the city more or less under control at first.

Then it's just a waiting game for the CDC to come out with a cure. Despite what The Walking Dead thinks will happen to the CDC, I have faith in them.

Now I just have to learn how to operate a HAM radio and some basic survival stuff like good knots!
