It's scary without common sense

I haven't read the original version, I just discuss the plot.

The biggest problem in the film is that these young people don’t know how to deal with the problem of infectious diseases. Whether they are facing people calling for help at the beginning, fighting with friends later, or even contracting diseases themselves, they are all in chaos. , None of them got it right.

You might say that God’s vision certainly knows that there is a problem with water, but as long as you know a little bit about the way the plague spreads, you can’t make such a mistake.

From the farthest away from itself, spread by birds (H5N1 avian flu and the like), to mosquito bites (dengue fever), rodent transmission (black death), to contact with body fluids (HIV HIV), and then to water transmission ( Cholera), to the most severe airborne transmission (SARS).

Basically, these are the ways of transmission. Of course, there are also rabies, but this can be said to be nonsense. If an obviously diseased animal bites you, the chance of being infected is 100%. I don't have this consciousness, I think it's sane.

Back to the topic, as far as the infection route mentioned above is concerned, it is not so easy to detect except for mosquito bites, except for the final airborne transmission. For the other types, it is impossible for a normal person to not know if those things have happened to them.

Starting from poultry, have you ever touched the dead bodies of poultry (including handling food materials, such as chickens), it is impossible to not know?
Rodents spread. Have you ever been bitten by rats, or come into contact with their feces, corpses, etc. It’s impossible not to know this, right?
You don’t know if you are spreading body fluids, whether you have kissed with other people, in the bridal chamber, or contacted the blood of the patient when you have a wound on your body, do you?

Since the above situation is not in the movie, there are only mosquitoes, air and water. At this time, it is back to the so-called question of whether there is a brain.

If you say you don't know that there is such a highly contagious disease in that place, and you did not prevent it, it is normal. Now that you know it, even if you don't know the exact route of transmission, you can't let yourself take risks at this time and drink the water that may be contaminated, right?

Why do you say this? First of all, if it is airborne, it is basically a problem for everyone. To some extent, there is not much that can be done at this time. It only depends on luck. At most, it is to put on a mask or something, but that is not 100% blocking the virus.

However, when everything is unclear, since it is not compromised on airborne transmission, just don't put too much effort on this aspect. Because it's useless to toss, so only mosquitoes and water are left.

Now there are these two options. If mosquito bites were a trivial matter before, in such a serious situation, no matter what, you can still find the traces of the bite. Check it out. Then the rest is the water source, and so on, do you still think that the local water can be drunk casually?

Of course, we Chinese are accustomed to drinking boiled water, which is a good habit, but if there are such conditions, under such circumstances, it is safest to choose uncontaminated canned water.

Finally, I would like to remind you that in the real world, you should not think that water pollution is such a simple matter, not just the lakes and rivers you can see. There are also creatures that live in water, fish and shrimp will be contaminated. If people eat those fish and shrimp and they are not fully cooked, they will also get cholera.

Then, if in the movie world, animals that have also drunk those water, such as cows and sheep, are probably also infected, so the best way is to not eat any animals that have survived in those.
