He should have been barely able to walk for days.
Let alone run or fight.
And to recover he needed serious food and rest.
Geezluizpapacheese, suspend belief much?
shareHe wasn't paralyzed. He was unconscious. Also Selena noted several times that he looked like he might collapse. Survival instinct kicked in.
shareHe was not able to move=paralized.
I guess the situation forced him to overcome it, but it's quite irrealistic anyhow, when you are weak you are weak no matter your motivation.
There's a difference between paralysis and temporary immobility. Jim was laid up in a hospital for a couple weeks while recovering from his injury. He hadn't moved around in a while, but he was never actually paralyzed.
shareNo shit.
Changes nothing towards what the op implies.
Also, he should have some horrific bedsores, since he has not been moved by the nurses for weeks.
shareYep, totally.
He was not in a good shape, and I understand the movie would be worse if he was too weak or sick.
But he should have had a better recovery system than soda cans.
Maybe some strong reconstituent and decent meds or IV, just a few shots to show us how he's able to walk around London and run a few scenes later.
I wasn't responding to the original post, just correcting your error in stating "not able to move=paralized".
shareNot to mention the bathroom.
shareWhat about it?
shareHe should be covered in shit n piss.
shareEven in a coma?
He had a catheter on his dick, so the piss was going somewhere.
But he was not eating nor digesting, only taking fluids so I think there was no shit at all.
Or am I wrong?
Catheters need to be checked and changes regularly.
shareOk but it still works, at worst he had some uti but the piss was flowing away, no?
I'd assume UTI and a backed up urine bag which would have caused issues potentially.
Plus his bowels would not have been empty and movements are involuntary.
Why his bowels would not have been empty?
If they feed you through an IV, your bowels cannot have any shit inside. Can they?
You're saying he had a colonoscopy before hospital?
shareNo, I'm saying he went into a coma NOT the exact day the contagion started.
He had an accident, he went into a coma, he was taken to a hospital, he was given a catheter, IV etc, he was there for a week or month or I don't know.
So he expelled all his previously stored shit.
THEN the virus got out.
So he had plenty of time to empty his bowels in a clean way.
Or am I wrong on the timeline?
Maybe someone can clarify the timeline?
share"...was paralyzed" ... and "for weeks".
State your claim.
28 divided by 7 equals 4. 4 weeks
shareHe may not have been alone for the whole 4 weeks. For all we know the staff may have evacuated or been overwhelmed only a few days or hours earlier. It would explain why he wasn't covered in bedsores. Maybe it was them not taking care of him that could have caused him discomfort and possibly precipitated his emergence from the coma.
shareA quick google says Jim awoke "28 days into the outbreak". But it would have spread slowish at first them grown exponentially.
Nurses were likely one of the last to abandon their posts, rather than simply let the patients die and fend for themselves. And "in to the outbreak" doesnt give us enough info. London could have been semi secure as the last remnants of organized military and police tried to stop the spread. London could have collapses 1 week in to the outbreak or 3 weeks meaning Jim was only in bed for 1 week. with some sort of final hydration iv drip lasting him til he awakes. Humans can go quite awhile without food. and I think I do remember his lips being severely chapped although I could be wrong and the SD recording it was shot on wasnt the best quality.
What the hell does the pandemic have to do with his coma?
