** The key slid under the door may imply some lovely brave person was working late. Realised Jim wasn't far off waking up (meaning they knew about his state) and did a good deed by leaving the key - and the door locked because hell has already broken out.

Realised Jim wasn't far off waking up (meaning they knew about his state) state, and by extension maybe changed his drip and kept looking after him) and did a good deed by leaving the key - and the door locked because hell has already broken out.

*** Exactly. The soldiers aren't overseas fighting another country until the wars over and they can come home; they're in the middle of an apocalyptic pandemic, they've probably seen their buddies killed or infected along with their family and any girlfriends or wives they might of had and in their mind the world as they've known it is over. And the officer probably believes the same thing. His family and friends are dead and the only people he's got left are his soldiers. We heard that he had found one of his soldiers with a gun in his mouth because the world was "futureless" so in a desperate attempt to keep his men together and keep morale up, he "promised them women." He was probably already cynical (his people killing people speech at dinner) before the infection, so seeing people he knew or loved turned into diseased beasts probably traumatised him to point of insanity. Plus, except for the {{Only Sane Man}}, most of the soldiers were young kids who probably had their whole lives ahead of them before, and are now (in their mind) "futureless". Certain people do crazy things after passing their {{Despair Event Horizon}}.
