That's why we have arms - to hold the prey.
In case a virus reanimates us..
Let's say such a virus exist. The better targets would be living humans since their body would be in better shape. As for the brain, the main problem would be memory at least for basic things like body movement. In this case, a living human would be the best. The other thing is that even if a human is affected by a virus that drastically affect the way he behave, the body itself would still need to eat and function as a living human does unless magic is there to help. Muscles need energy, not much any other way around, so eating is a must. In the end, virus affected zombies would be pretty much a human that would act differently than other humans. Apart from this, they would be pretty similar. Maybe the virus could improve/lessen some aspects, but it could not change it THAT much unless the virus manages to change the human body into a totally new species.
The most dangerous aspect of these zombies would be the fact that they are contagious. If you take a virus like Ebola for example, make it less dangerous for the human body (or let's say that it would take months to start being dangerous for the body) BUT that it would start being contagious very fast, this would be crazy. Even crazier if it changed the way humans behave in order to spread faster, but in fact, probably that it would be even more dangerous if the virus shown no sign until a very long time. Just less zombie like.

Ok.. but then we're blurring just how bad it would be to 'be' a zombie..
I suppose what you're after is PERFECT realism zombies..
if that's the case.. than it's probably someone with a cold, and also drank too much the night before..Show Image(http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/embarrassed2-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862502)

Nah, we are talking about zombies, so a little creativity won't hurt. The virus would definitely make a human to go in some sort of frenzy/urge for blood or brain or whatever as long as it want's to kill. It could also be deadly in itself after some time, but it's not mandatory. It would also not give this urge to kill other zombies ideally so they last longer.
So the idea is this one:
- New virus that turn a human into a zombie after 1-2 month but the infected human is contagious as soon as he gets infected and shows little to no sign of being infected until he turns into a zombie UNLESS he is bitten by a zombie (fast infection that skips stages).
- For a while, no one knows that such a virus exist and it propagates very fast around the World.
- Then someone finds out about the virus and starts analyzing it. Authorities start to get into alter mode.
- But it's TOO LATE. The first zombies starts popping everywhere and BOOM super zombie apocalypse.
- Now the earth is ruled by animals again since these zombies finally died a few years after killing every human on the planet.
The virus could not skip stages through a bite, I don't think that makes sense assuming we are going with the realism theme here. (If not, fine)
You would have to go through recovering from a bite like that and then suddenly...zombie rage virus action.
Best way would be to spread with little no symptoms, then it would start shattering countries left and right.
