It would be horrible in real life but I thought a funny intro to a post apocalyptic movie would be a person giving a tour of a bio lab to college interns and...

"through our studies we have learned to increase the transmission rate and the death rate of the small pox virus. The downside is we had to mix it with rabies so the infected tend to get aggressive and lose there ability to rationalize their thoughts.
