I also enjoy not knowing much about a movie before seeing it. About the actor playing David.. I think it doesn't spoil to have him credited that way, because that is what David looks like, and from Sawyer's point of view that is who she sees. So, even if David is not really in the hospital and it is all in her imagination, the person portrayed by that actor is David. So it is not necessarily spoiling by revealing whether David is reality or in Sawyer's mind. At first, when she sees him, we as the viewer see a flashing transformation of the nurse Dennis (played by Zach Cherry, if you look at the credits) into David; and we are not sure if it is in her mind or not. I think the rest of the film is left to us to decide, if David is real.

Yes, that fear of the relapse and the distrust of the 'cured' (or, ex-cons for example) is the issue here. Another theme I found very interesting is the radicalization of the ostracized. I think this could have been explored more, like having a cured character who is eager to rejoin society with a positive outlook, who is then pushed to becoming a 'terrorist' of sorts, like the group led by Conor in the film. To some extend Conor was a character like this, but I felt he was kind of hostile from the beginning.

I watched this today, and recommend you watch the rest of it if you stopped at 10 minutes. I think what you are not taking into account is the irrationality and emotional reaction of people to the events while the cured were violent. I think this is a very interesting take on "zombie" outbreak, with an angle which brings to mind current global issues like acceptance of "other" groups (for example refugees). The dad who rejected his son for killing the mother while infected, that reaction is very easy to understand. Even though we (the viewer) know the son didn't have that intention.
