*** There's another possibility: Considering that this isn't a government facility doing the testing (due to the fact that if this was, it probably would have had better security in place and the events of the film wouldn't have occurred), it could be plausible that this actually a lab for a pharmaceutical company trying to treat anger. Remember what the [=PhD=] said about the monkeys? "In order to cure, you must first understand." It could very well be plausible that a pharmaceutical company may be trying to develop a treatment for people with anger issues in the same way that they've developed medications and treatments for various mood disorders.

** He's completely naked, and the hospital bed he's on has a plastic cover. One would think he'd have a hell of a rash from lying in urine for at least several days, but that would have required applying SFX makeup in some very awkward areas.

* ''{{Film/Twenty Eight Weeks Later}}'s'' plot hinges on the existence of at least one asymptomatic infectee (well, that, and [[IdiotPlot remarkably poor decision-making]]). There's no guarantee that there was ''only'' one, or that others might not have successfully escaped into the countryside or out of the country.

* At the beginning of the film, Jim learns of the infected and falls under mortal peril because he kept yelling “''''HELLO!''''". But at the end, he and the girls are again using the word HELLO as an SOS message for pilots. This symmetry underlines the fact that, despite all the despair and trauma the story inflicts on him, his human spirit and hope endures.

*** That's a pretty optimistic reading of the situation, but the idea of any nation having the ability to [[GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul placate any large group of dissenters]] doesn't seem like a very good thing. What if a government uses it on individuals fighting against oppression, or they happen to use it on a group of people that are systematically discriminated against? And even if Britain could use the chemical responsibly (which is hard to do, since nearly every situation using that chemical would practically be the equivalent of non-consensual drugging), whose to say other nations would do the same, and not use it for higher scale conflicts like war and terrorism?

* After the attack in Jim’s parent’s house Selena hacks her companion to death because she could “see it in his eyes” that he was infected, even though far more than 20 seconds had elapsed since the attack and his arm was badly cut, so any transformation should already have occurred. What she saw was his eyes flush with burst vessels just like the immune in the sequel. He was infected, and infectious, just immune to Rage himself.
