    Today, Austin is righting the wrongs of his past by recalculating the spread of the Resident Evil virus. Heck Resident Evil 3 just got a remake, so Austin thought now would be the perfect time for a Science of Resident Evil Remake. Not to mention it's relation to our own global outbreak!

      What annoys me is that it’s all based around foot travel. People can carry and pass on an infection while asymptomatic, especially if they drink something. Doesn’t even have to be a public fountain. Let’s just say there’s a reason why biohazardous waste is disposed of differently

      But. This all ignores plane travel and, well, cargo ships. It’d snowball a lot faster if you factor in those infected but asymptomatic + travel of these people. (Which would make the numbers even more of a headache, but, also why covid quickly became a nightmare in months)

    You all need to remember this was a generalized THEORY of an outbreak. He made it clear near the beginning that a lot of things would be generalized and you shouldn't get upset with him for "missing" parts of random human activity. He didn't miss it, he probably thought about it often in his research, but he already spent so much time on handdone math that he couldn't add in those extras without basically killing himself. Use the information he gave us to calculate human behaviors yourself, if you want.

    • @DracoMagnius
      @DracoMagnius 4 년 전 +14

      How are zombies going to fly a plane? I mean you could guess maybe a zombie or infected individual gets on a plane, but at some point they block travel to other countries, if the symptoms of infection are known and a sick looking person wants to get on a plane even if they don't have the T-Virus they probably aren't getting allowed on a plane. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure airport security would notice a zombie shambling up if the virus has been talked about in the media and/or notice a person displaying symptoms of infection prior to zombification.
      Edit: Just realized forgot the virus can be dormant for a couple days as well as hours. My appolgies, however it's possible a test could be devised to find out if someone is infected though whether or not that test is able to be carried out on multiple people boarding a plane is unknown and probably not likely.

    Hey MatPat, Diego from Brazil here. Have you ever thought how Rebecca Chambers does fit for the second traitor inside STARS? Think with me:
    - She is the only survivor of Bravo Team (even though more skilled and experienced men were in Bravo Team, she not only managed to survive, but does it with perfect health)
    - She was accepted to STARS in a very young age, meaning that someone made her way into it (maybe Wesker?)
    - She is very skilled with medicines although she is very young (think about it: She managed to treat Richard’s wounds and knows that he needs serum and even where the serum can be found; she treats Chris’s poisouness; she can handle chemicals, as the game says; she makes the V-Jolt; then she produces medicines using Umbrella’s compounds and heals Chris; she knows about Umbrella while Chris barely heard of it - maybe the farmaceutical was not so known back then...)
    - This knowledge in medicine is very high among Umbrella’s top employees (such as Wesker himself, William and Annett Birkin)
    - Chief Irons was hired by Umbrella, meaning the company had more influence inside RPD
    - Wesker shoots Rebecca when confronted with his links with Umbrella (maybe that’s because he knew she was a traitor too? Maybe he was trying to prevent her to use her knowledge to, I don’t know, blow the whole lab away? See ahead...)
    - Rebecca decides to explode the mansion, getting rid of all the evidence
    - Rebecca says that the mansion contains files about the Tyrant and thus needs to be destroyed, but, seriously? You need to destroy an entire mansion because of some files? Couldn’t you just destroy or aprehend these files, or something else?
    - As Rebecca decides to destroy the mansion, she fulfills Umbrella’s plans as another file says that the company did plan to destroy everything after the test with the STARS members.
    - Wesker has a picture of Rebecca in his desk (was she an affair? A possible recruit? Or something else?)
    Well... that’s for now, but I’m sure there’s more if you look into it. Sorry for my bad english. I’m not only brazilian, but my autocorrect also translates everything to Portuguese, so I have to struggle with it to write, kkkkkkk
