So I found myself curious about how exactly a sequel was possible given that the upbeat (and, as it turned out, canon) ending of the first film demonstrated that Spoiler: the Infected starved to death after a month. So I read the entry on Wikipedia and apparently Spoiler: there is a character who was bitten during the initial outbreak but did not become Infected for seven months -- just long enough for the re-population of London to begin. When she does turn Infected, those Infected by her do not demonstrate this long incubation, but instead resume the immediate change that made the first film so fast-paced and brutal.

Does anyone else think this is a lazy way to generate a sequel? I would rather have just seen a prequel about the original infection.
