I've been thinking that maybe the whole world did get infected, but not as bad as everyone (in the movie) thinks. The quarantine thing that the guy talks about in the holding area with Jim is just paranoia I think, because then why would the newspaper that Jim finds at the beginning say "Blair orders EVACUATION?" All the posts I've read here and at IMDB don't mention that newspaper. Also, when the plane is flying overhead at the end, we see some of the infected dying off, probably of starvation. I interpreted that scene as hinting that there was probably a military force somewhere that had the same idea as Major West, but they didn't die before that would happen like his men did. He had the right idea, but the problem was his men had already lost touch with their rationalism. 28 Days probably did seem like a long time for them, I can understand why they were already desparate for women to rebuild with.. Another reason I think England wasn't just quarantined was that the plane was from the Royal Air Force, not some savior US Jet Fighter. Remember, animals spread the virus too (as the pendeja eco-warrior at the beginning found out muhohaha). Just some opinions from me, post if you agree or disagree.
