[@AirQuotes]

Exactly and his next line is "when can I talk to my wife" it hasn't sunk in she's dead. Also the model was in a hotel not her home. I really like his videos but he's often in a rush to get through the plot that he often misses super obvious plot stuff like this.

[@Profile__1]

I think you're right about the shock, especially since his son dies within the same hour essentially. When he finds the old camera with photos of his wife on it, he can finally relax and finally breaks down in tears.

[@asandax6]

He's in a rush because he is mainly focusing on biology rather than psychology (unless the biology messes with the psychology like in zombie movies) and he overlooks simple information. I used to do this during tests. Get all the hard questions correct and miss all the simple ones because my brain was more interested in solving the harder problems.

I remember when I was 14 we were working at the local rodeo, the first night I was wasted and falling and rolling all over the grass. I then passed out in my tent. at some point while outside I came in contact with "something" the next morning I awoke to feeling absolutely aweful, I had a terrible migraine and felt very cold. by noon the next day I had full on flu symptoms, extreme nausea, cold chills, fever and sweats, body aches etc. around 2pm the constant, repetitive vomiting began, everyone was joking because they assumed I was "hungover" and my being sick was the result of alcohol poisoning, but by 7pm, 5 hours of laying wrapped in my sleeping bag, shivering and just puking out my tent I finally had my mom pick me up. I would spend the next 2 weeks essentially catatonic and lethargic, with severe vomiting, halucinations, delusions, body aches and stomach issues for the first couple days, then long term flu like symptoms lasting for about a week and a half before I slowly felt better. that was the sickest I've ever been I honestly thought I was going to die, my mom was very "oldschool" and had that 90s mom mentality of never going to the doctor for "common sicknesses" so she never took me to the hospital, but I was severely dehydrated, probably lost a ton of weight because I didn't eat for like 5 days. I would love to know what I had way back then, I know it wasn't just the flu this was something way more intense, maybe H1N1 ? or bird flu? it was at a farm, at a rodeo, so it was definetly some sort of virus transferred from animals to humans and I must've picked it up off the grass or something.

I was always told I had an "overreacting" immune system. However it works in reverse. Simple diseases and illnesses I'll have terrible symptoms but worse illnesses (like covid) I go nearly asymptomatic. I remember I had a stomach infection once and went to the hospital (cause work) and they did some blood tests and then in a panic hurried me into more tests and even a CT scan. They did this because my white blood cell presence was excessively elevated. If my memory serves I was told that a 8-10 (forget the units) was normal and a normal immune response is around 14-18. Mine however sat at 25.9 which they said is usually only seen in things like appendicitis or cancer (why they were panicked) They said however given my reaction my body's symptoms were quite mild and easy to control but that it was drying me out so they had to monitor me overnight with a saline drip. I even had to have follow ups with my doctor because they were concerned of my white blood count and had to make sure it reduced to normal levels and didn't stay elevated. Ultimately it reduced to normal levels within a few days. My doctor described it in layman's terms that basically due to my immune systems reactions that explains why historically I don't get sick often but when I do I get rough symptoms that subside much faster than most others. An example of this was a nasty flu my whole family had back in 2013 where I was the last one to show symptoms but the first one whos symptoms subsided. Its also neat that numerous diseases I haven't been vaccinated against because I'm deemed naturally immune. Polio and mumps are two that came up as immune when I took blood tests for the military despite my shot record not reflecting any vaccines or boosters. Just my immune system story

[@wormwoodbecomedelphinus4131]

Similar here. Crohns disease due to an overly strong immune system, didn't get sick for at least a few years - although my sinuses usually feel like shit. Got sick recently, felt like total shit and it was probably the singularly worst fever I've ever had - and then it went away in two days.

Because he wasn't really listening to what the doctor was saying. Then when he slowly starts realizing he is dead he gets furious and starts screaming "what happened to her!?" I can relate to this, especially since last year. When you have family with terminal illnesses you eventually just start nodding at the doctor until they go away and you can just go and sit with your family. That's what I saw in that scene anyway.

I was going to joke about how life and art (especially movies) might parallel each other because a small group of people plays a pivotal role in manipulating the events of both. However, with how many close parallels there are and who they chose to make the bad guys, I'm honestly actually a little concerned.

This makes so much sense for me. I've always had really subdued reactions to sicknesses, in a couple cases my body straight up just gave it the finger, assimilated it, and made me a carrier with no symptoms. My body even fought off yellow fever when I was under a year old. I've always wondered why that is, after a DNA test showing I have embarrassing amounts of caveman DNA, and watching this video I think I get it now.

This movie slaps, though. It's fantastic!!

As a side note, my ex-MIL caught the cold sore virus, and it scrambled her brain. Truth be told, I think she was doomed before she caught it. She was later diagnosed with bone cancer and died of that. My guess is that she was already cancerous and her immune system was shot. She apparently caught it from someone who worked at a supermarket. Nobody else in that country town came down with it. Luckily for her, I doubt that she knew that she was dying of cancer. One day she'd wake up in 1970, another in the 60s....

The difference in how people's bodies react is fascinating. I'd heard how differently covid was affecting people, but it didn't really hit me until I observed it myself. My boss and her kids were hit very hard by it the first autumn of the pandemic. All of them were basically out of commission for a few weeks with fevers lasting 10 days, loss of taste (one kid bit into a freaking lemon to test her taste and tasted nothing it was wild), and a few other more minor symptoms. I managed to keep from getting it until last August when my area tested out lifting the mask mandates for a couple weeks and then putting them back in place when cases spiked. For me it just felt like a bad allergy flare-up or a cold coming on. When benadryl and then niquil didn't keep it at bay I realized it was more than just a cold. Second day I had a fever (which, since I normally run low at a mid-97, was just a high 98) for the day and had slept a good 15 hours from the 1st to 2nd day. Also on the 2nd day I felt weirdly completely unbalanced, like a wobbly baby deer. I had been forcing myself to nibble on food and hydrate throughout all this so it wasn't due to that. The wobbling lasted most of the day,, needing to brace myself against a wall just to get from my bedroom to the kitchen or bathroom. I got tested the third day and by then the symptoms were just minor sniffles. Rapid test was negative and the PCR was positive so I quarantined for two weeks after, but if it weren't for the balance issues on the 2nd day, I easily could have just chalked it up to being a minor cold and never thought anything of it if I hadn't been hyper aware of every change in my health due to the pandemic. I was also fully vaccinated by the time I caught it, so I'm not sure if it would have been worse if I'd caught the virus prior to getting vaccinated.
