[QUOTE="WayneLigon, post: 3544045, member: 3649"] He's never bitten; he gets it when the blood spatters on him - probably a microdrop in his eye or on his lip tissue. He's a carrier just like his Mom was; he'll never get sick from it but anyone whose eyes, mouth or nose comes in contact with his blood, sweat, tears, spit, etc will. All it takes is drinking after him, probably. The pilot doesn't know about the possibility of carriers, yet. Honestly, I can't remember at this point if the doctor ever [I]specifically [/I] tells the sister or brother about carriers. I'm sure there might be some people back in the States that know once the doctor filed her reports, but she may well never have gotten around to it before everything hit the fan. But anyway, helicopter guy doesn't know such things exist. Remember that if someone is bitten or otherwise infected they go insane within [I]seconds [/I] of contact. If someone is not frothing at the mouth trying to kill you, then they're obviously OK to someone who doesn't know about the possibility of carriers. His sister [I]does [/I] know or at least suspects, given her reaction in the sewers. We don't know, but I can speculate she [I]does [/I] tell authorities in France. I doubt she's going to mention it to the scary military stranger because the first thing he's likely to do is shoot her little brother the second he hears the word 'infected'. They probably put him in a medical facility to try and create a cure. All it takes, though, is one unguarded instant or accident or someone not paying attention to security measures around him or any liquid he produces and the whole thing starts all over again. Such accidents, in fact, are virtually unavoidable. [/QUOTE]
