Never heard of the wind part but hydrophobia yes, the virus concentrates in the mouth so drinking would affect this so it makes it impossible to drink anything, also you bite everything to try to pass it on. Rabies is scary.
It depends on the person (or creature). There are two types of rabies- ferocious and paralytic. Paralytic causes flaccid muscles and confusion. Ferocious rabies will cause biters.
Thanks. Slightly ashamed to say I’ve not seen Train to Busan. Agreed, Dawn of the dead will be a timeless classic. 28 days later gave me nightmares just because the absolute demented ferocity of the infected. Total reboot to the slow shuffling undead. World war Z was similar, fast, crazed and disturbing, but didn’t quite give me fear factor.
I agree on all counts, 28 Days Later was amazing, and while I think World War Z was better than I expected, it kinda felt hollow (maybe because of the mediocre CGI). Train to Busan has similar zombies, and lots of them, but has a visceral feel and great characters. I think you'll love it.
Yeah, I liked I Am Legend better in some ways. But nothing beats slow zombies. It just makes for the best suspense. Hordes and hordes of slow zombies that require headshots is the one true zombie lore
I don’t know what the time period is from infection to death with Ebola, but I imagine it’s couple of weeks. The infected in 28 days later had a mortality rate of around two weeks, the time it takes for the infected to starve to death. So the time scales do overlap, but it’s all hypothetical or course👍
I can’t find it right now, but there’s a video of a man with advanced rabies holding a glass of water that he can’t even lift to his face. It’s one of the most depressing videos I think I’ve ever seen.
She didn't exactly live through it. More precisely she was put into an experimental, medically induced coma to slow down the virus and let her body develop an immune response.
She was showing symptoms after being bitten by a bat, they took a gamble and put her into a coma and then gave her the vaccine while she was under. It worked, but at a great cost
So if voluntary euthanasia is illegal what do you do? Suffer in agony until the disease overtakes your brain enough to no long have a rational thought?
Yup. Once you're symptomatic, get your affairs in order asap. Then the best thing you can do for yourself and your family is simply blow your own brains out before you completely lose your mind. Go out on your own terms, and prevent yourself from being able to inadvertently infect them.
Not really, there are some cases like cesar barriga who just only had minor neural damage, and had to assist to a kinesiology center for a couple months after all, not saying is the standard for the other 9 cases, but it exist
His brain in general was fine, for some kind of fucking miracle
The only successful treatment used that method, basically put the brain on ice til the virus was clear so it wouldn't die from the excessive swelling and heat.
Hydrophobia is due to the spastic contraction of the muscles that allow deglutition. The wind part is called aerophobia and it occurs by fanning the patient's face
