How does a comma patient survive unattended for 28 days?
>not covered in piss and shit
>drinks a Pepsi and walks it off
It was 28 days from the first reported zombie to the complete breakdown of society, not 28 days in a coma
It makes no sense. Don't question it.
Also, do people that are nourished intravenously shit? They aren't consuming any solids so what the fuck comes out their ass?
>>70818003
maybe that's what buttplugs were originally intended for
>>70817860
How do monkeys watching violent news footage become infected with a fictional virus that can be transmitted through blood/saliva?
>>70818003
you mostly piss into a pipe, and shit maybe 1x/month
was in a coma for 2 months
>not using SOS
dumb cunts
>>70818095
Are you retarded
They were injected with the virus and the violence on TVs was meant to make them even angrier, so they can study the effects
They literally explain this
>>70818132
How long does the IV drip last for? I'd say the main character would be dead within a week if left alone
>>70818003
Food tubes and intermittent laxative administration might occur depending on the nature of the coma.
But yes it's ridiculous either way
>>70818143
All it ever says is that they're infected with rage. Re-watch.
>>70818140
>not being polite
>>70818140
SOS declares live endangering duress, which would mean at the end of the movie our main characters are still in danger. Hello tells the pilot (and the viewers at home) that our main characters are safe and sound without needing any added scenes such as them being rescued.

>>70818250
they wanted to be rescued you knob and they had to use 3 times as much effort to spell out 'hello' whereas SOS is internationally understood and unambiguous
>>70818215
mine took 18 hours until it was emty, but it depends how fast you let it drop in. maybe you could set it up for 2-3 days, then 5 days without anything (you dont need much water/energy if you dont move)
so yeah you could maybe survive a week in a coma without any help
how can a virus that can only spread at human running speed infest whole Britain in 20 days?
>>70818140
>28 weeks ruins this ending to pull some lost world bullshit to force a sequel
>>70818132
Christ anon what was that like?
>>70818480
epidemiologists have calculated that a zombie virus would get out of control in as little as 5 days
>>70818530
I find it very hard to believe
zombie virus from 28 has no way of spreading unnoticed, and the infectees are basically dumb animals and very easy to kill
>>70818381
Med student here. This is total bullshit.
Saying that a coma patient can survive for a week unattended is major bullshit. They'll be able to survive for 3 days at most, with SEVERE issues.
Also, saying that your IV bag can sustain you if you set it to last 2-3 days is as retarded as saying you can survive a month eating only a single cookie if you only take an extremely small bite every day.
>>70818530
Again: Bullshit (same medfag as above)
Biting is literally one of the most unneffective ways to spread diseases.
And a real zombie outbreak would be finished in 3 days
>>70818590
that's IF it is contained. if it's not contained then in 5 days there would be more infected than not infected, which is the point of no return
>>70818573
well the IV bag I had contained 2 liters and 1600 kcal. pretty sure you can live a few days off that
>>70818573
those were rough estimates. you can't call someone retarded just because they don't go to med school
either way, the premise of this film has a major flaw
>>70818632
>maybe if I just keep saying things without making any effort to back them up, eventually people will believe me
The situation pans out the same 'contained' or not, there's a reason zombie movies always gloss over everything between the initial outbreak and the apocalypse apparently comes after, it just wouldn't happen
>>70818632
No, shut up, you dont get it, your precious zombie outbreak would be SHIT in real life.
Zombies are slow as fuck, they're literally corpses which are also frail as fuck, they'd break into pieces trying to walk. As soon as the body stops consuming oxygen it goes extremely limp, movement would suck, now keep that in mind when considering that they have to BITE to infect, they wouldn't be able to reach anyone. And in 2 or 3 days, they would completely rot away or starve.
Now even if it were a rabies-type infection (not actual undead), most of the problems would remain
Biting is unneffective and the infected would eventually starve in a few days.
>>70818670
A sedentary humanbeing consumes more calories than that per day. And you're obviously not getting 1600 cals per day with that thing, you'd be getting like 300 and on top of that you would be burning them before getting more, so they wouldn't "stack", you'd be dead before the bag even runs out
Hello?
>>70818573
>student
Don't you ever dare reply again until you finish your degree and are qualified to give an opinion. You kids are the worst.
>>70818670
Setting an IV bag to last that long would be literally useless and would probably kill the patient faster because the patient will be burning calories faster than he is receiving them.
>>70818785
Good thing it's not real life then medcuck
Friendly reminder that Don did nothing wrong and everyone ITT would've done the exact same thing in his position
>>70818003
>what the fuck comes out their ass?
4chan posts
>>70818785
>>70818826
but you dont die if you dont eat for a few days. your body has fat for a reason. water and dehydration is the problem, not the calories
>>70818762
>>70818785
guys calm down, I was quoting an article written by real epidemiologists for fun. i'm not sure what you're trying to prove here
you don't have to act like menstruating drama queens
>>70818866
Agreed, there was nothing he could have done anyway

Thanks for educating us with facts from your Real Zombie Medical Book.
>>70818895
Healthy people dont go into coma anon
>>70818785
>A sedentary humanbeing consumes more calories than that per day
Ur mum is a perfect example.
>>70818962
A medical textbook on ineffectual real world diseases would work just the same
>>70818974
Yes they do
>>70818955
No, I don't look like an idiot and I wasn't wrong. We were discussing a zombie outbreak and you are going all alpha over it and making personal attacks. Get a life fag
>>70818143
>we always knew monkey see, monkey do; how could we have known monkey see, monkey rage?
Exact quote from movie. You are the retard.
>>70818962
Simple logic would dictate this, we have never been behind the sun but we know theres no planet there because we know about physics.
Its the same shit here.
>Bodies are fragile
>in 1 or 2 days they became even more fragile because of exposure to the elements
>by 3rd day they would completely fall apart
>and before that they would be slow as all shit and would most likely drop a limp or 2 along the way
>everything that moves consumes energy
>living beings too
>they're called calories
>we get them from things such as eating
>if they dont, their already fragile bodies wont take it and simply shut down.
This isnt the fucking TWD where zombies can survive without eating for several years. Thats beyond retarded and defies the laws of physics.

Jesus christ, you have to be over 18 to browse 4chan.

So the people who made pic related were "wrong" and should not have made it. Perhaps you can have them arrested?
>>70817860
Hey, here's some more things to consider whenever you rewatch 28 Days Later;
>why are there no bodies on the streets of london?
>why does it take 2 days for the characters to drive from London to Manchester? That's just a 3 hour drive.
The answer is in the commentary track... Because the movie turned out better that way. That's it. The writer and director don't have any logical explanations for these things, they simply set out to make a suspenseful film.

Each kg of fat contains around 7,000cals you dipshit, don't tell me the protagonist had shredded 8%bf. With 20% and 80kg on average he'd have 5-6kg he could easily expend and that is way before dying territory.
Basal metabolic rate for an average male is at ~1.6k kcals, which is being generous for a comatose patient.
Retarded undergrad faggot who doesn't know shit never act like you know anything again
>>70817860
>comma patient
Easy there comma chameleon.

Who are you quoting anon

>>70818590
That depends on a lot of factors, you idiots. If you were a "medfag" you'd realize this.
How long is the incubation period? This is a very important factor. If it's mere seconds as in 28 Days Later, then while it would spread fast, it would also be easily contained because it could never reach another city with mere carriers.
If the incubation period was days, the virus could be halfway across the world before the first zombie was detected - by which point it could be to late.
>>70819193
kill yourself
>>70819193
>by which point it could be to late.
Only if the virus was airborne, or waterborne.
If it were by biting, it would be like that anon said: Shit, virus which require physical contact to be transmitted have the lowest contagion rates. Look at ebola. I also dont remember mankind ever being threatened by an outbreak of rabies.
>>70818923
my fucking sides.
Watch Contagion if you want a more realistic treatment of virus outbreaks.
>>70819037
>we always knew monkey see, monkey do; how could we have known monkey see, monkey rage?
Literally no one says that.
Prove to me anyone says that. Boyle himself confirmed the virus is based on Ebola.
>>70817860
>How does a comma patient survive unattended for 28 days
that's the big question mark hanging over the movie.
