Also he was far enough away that he could only see them through his scope. I think he was probably the person who tipped off the force that went after them.For kids who were motivated and determined to get to their house to recover some mementoes of their dead mother. Sure. They weren't doing this just for a lark. The son was tormented by the fact that he was forgetting what the mother looked like, remember.They didn't have the time to tell the husband. First not everyone knew what she had or what her condition was. IIRC, the doctor figured out that she should probably be infected, ran tests to determine if she was, found out that she did have it, told the head Military guy and he decided on the spot that she should be killed. From what I could tell, while this was going on the husband got told about her and went there directly as far as I could tell. So there wasn't a chance for anyone else to fill him in or warn him.I assume that it would be standard proceedure to quarentine anyone in a situation like this. Aside from the threat of the rage virus, there are plenty of other nasty diseases people living in unsanitary conditions can pick up. Presumably he would know this if he was as important as it was implied he was. People are basically daytime creatures. There are generally much fewer people about during the night, especially late at night. It is entirely reasonable for there to be far fewer people around the quarentine area late at night, especially if there was only one person in there. Perhaps the one guard on duty had to go to the bathroom and the person monitoring on the camera was perusing playboy instead of watching the monitor. Like I said, it is not one of the stronger points of the movie that there was nobody around.They were there for a very short time IIRC. It seemed like they got there, were trying to catch their breath, talked to the guy in the chopper and then the infected showed up. The blood on the kid did bother me a bit, but I guess they figured (like with the wife) if he was infected he'd have gone berzerk already and they'd spent more than enough time around him for him to have been going berzerk if he was going to.Well, they had specifically mentioned a couple of times in the movie that they were going to try and cross the channel in the chopper. The white cliffs I got the impression were part of the "Hey Look! We got to film a bunch of landmarks in London/England. Isn't this cool!" that seemed to drive chunks of the plot. Haven't you heard the phrase "There's something rotten in the state of Denmark."Oh, I agree. I think that's probably where they'll go for "28 Months Later" or possibly "28 Years Later", even though I don't think that's the logical result of how the virus seems to function. Also there's the question of how they managed to isolate the virus to England in the initial outbreak when presumably there was far more traffic in and out, with far fewer precautions, but couldn't stop it this time.</blockquote>
