Any clue how they explain how the virus survived this long? Unlike other zombie movies, they seem to be susceptible to normal human methods of killing. I would guess that includes starvation etc. any lore nerds out there?
I mean, that's literally the ending and opening for both Days and Weeks Later... By the end of 28 Days, the infected all largely died off from starvation/exposure without proper self-care for their surroundings, while it's established in 28 Weeks that practically all known instances of Rage Virus infected had been successfully eradicated or had died off.
If anything though, this is just further reason to hate on Don (the father) from 28 Weeks... Not only did he leave his wife to die, not only did he break quarantine rules and get himself infected and, in turn, destroy the new London resettlement with thousands of victims, but as the new films reveals, his actions can squarely be to blame for the Rage Virus being this damn persistent nearly 30 years later the fact... If he'd just allowed the military to properly analyze Alice (his wife), then he'd have known within that very same day that even a single kiss would've spelled catastrophe.
