[@joes6527]

Actually it's to a movie called, Outbreak with Dustin Hoffman, Rene Russo, Morgan Freeman, Donald Sutherland, Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Kevin Spacey. It came out in 1995. That's a whole 7 years before 28 days later, and probably more realistic. The monkey was the carrier (Host 0) of a version of Ebola, called Motaba. It's a hemorrhagic fever. Your organs start to liquify and your basically bleed out of everywhere. Good movie. Check it out.

I'm also a little glad they didn't introduce spores into this. Spores, in real life, don't stay in one place. They move around, go wherever the wind takes them. If spores are what causes infection, then only those wearing gas masks 24/7 would survive.
