Headscratchers / One Chance

• Why the heck did they issue the cancer cure to everyone all at once on the exact same day? Even some of the most important vaccines in human history, like the COVID-19 vaccine, went through testing periods and were progressively rolled out. If it was kept to a few people and then progressively issued to a wider net, the tragedy of it killing all cell life in the individual could've likely been limited to a few people, as opposed to all of humanity.
  • Arrogance maybe? The idea of "Curing Cancer" is often glorified as this one super heroic, righteous, good deed that can't be outdone by anyone, and the thought may also exist in this universe. The company that had it made could have wanted the glory and money of making the cure, so they spread it out to seem like a grand, heroic act.
• Why wasn't the biologist team responsible for the drug's creation the first ones to die? They were the first ones exposed to it.
• How come the infestion spread so quickly? There's this thing called incubation period. It varies with each organism but always takes at least a week for a single infected individual. It cannot be shortened, because the pathogen's duplication is directly dependent on its host body's vegetative mechanisms, like blood stream and so. On top of that, the pathogen is hinted to be a virus, which are higly specific about what kind of cell they are compatible with. A virus capable of infecting any cell is plain nonsense.
