You start infected. Starts slow, then as you get hit more, it gets faster. Would make sense if the gauge started the first time you got hit, but it starts from day one. Any ideas? Courtesy of Clarie.
I think the 8 characters drank water from J's Bar. If it was airborne, Jill wouldve gotten it and already be dead.

Wait, that wouldn't make sense. Alot of them were drinking alcohol. So it couldn't be the water.

Wrong. Nobody was drinking bottled alcohol. In Bars, the bartender waters down the drinks, thus they drink water.

Canada sucks. I know for a fact that the bars here don't do that. So apparently Canada and wherever the hell Raccoon City is. Either way, if it's like that, then everyone who lived in 1998 Raccoon had gotten infected on that side of town, which is the downtown district. This includes Jill then, I'm sure she at one point, had drank water.

Check the first cutscene again, it shows a bunch of rats witnessing the birkin/umbrella fight and getting exposed to the dropped sample jars. Then at the start of the J's bar chapter a rat runs across the floor and startles a few peeps.
Bleedin plague carriers just like a lot of outbreaks. Interesting that they can carry the virus but don't turn. Best call in those weird docs in the bird mask and black robes
*ding ding* "Bring out your dead!"

I remember reading a small percent of the world population are immune to the T-Virus. I use it to support a theory a couple of Resident Evil characters (i.e. Jill) are immune to the virus.
There's also the case that Nemesis infected Jill, and then Carlos suppressed the infection with what he found in the hospital. That would have locked away any hint of Tyrant which Jill ingested.

Or its just a game mechanic with nothing meant by it other than to slightly nudge the player to move forward and find more anti viral pills.

Thats what I told Clarie, but than started thinking about it more... And yeah, I agree about Jill ect being immune. Kinda makes sense.

Probably passed on by rats; getting into the air, without being airborne. Much along how the cold virus spreads. A rat can sneeze, cough or spit and microscopic drops of saliva are pushed into the air.
That rat at the beginning of Outbreak's intro cutscene could have easily spread it, just like plague rats did with the bubonic plague in the middle ages.
As for the crack about watered down drinks - NO. I'm a bartender and the alcohol is never watered down (unless the bartender is trying to steal money).
That being said: pop served in bars and restaurants is NOT the same as pop bought in a store. It comes in a syrup bag and is machine mixed with water and carbonized with a co2 canister. Order a rum and coke and you can get contaminated water, not because it's watered down; but because the pop is 'made' on site.

Ja be stealin my answer Redfield! Though on the syrup bag of soft drinks, once had to assist removal a guy out of a cinema I worked at when he started getting adamant that he wanted a drink cup filled with that stuff pure.
Another odd consideration is Jim's fake death ability speeding up the counter, is there an airborne form of the virus? denser than air so that it just hangs around at floor level?
Or is he just face down in stuff that's been dropping off the zombies?
and Bob from J's bar, if that is the initial contamination point for the cast, why did he drop so fast? Would he be the complete opposite to the theorised super resistant characters? Elijah Price to their David Dunn?
"Now that we know who you are... I know who I am. I'm not a mistake! It all makes sense, in the comic you know how you can tell who the arch villain is going to be? He's the exact opposite of the hero! And most times they're friends, like you and me. I should've known way back when. You know why Mark? Because of the kids! They called me Mr. Zombie."

Yeah, I wasnt trying to start an argument about watering down alcohol in bars, dude. I know they dont always, but some do. Raccoon City being a possibility. That was all. But yeah, the whole Jill being immune makes more sense anyways.
And with Jims fake death thing, the blood would start to flow quicker since his laying down, and speed the process of distributing Tvirus around faster. Lmfao, im guessing, its pretty silly anyways. Why hide from a zombie when you can just kill or go around it? The 5 seconds spent on the ground avoiding a zombies cuts your time down by like fifteen whole minutes. Unless you take a herb, or pill thing.
But yeah, Jills immunity. Bahaha.

Jilmunity.
Or Jillunity. That sounds more like Jill's gone insane, though.

*Hands up in peace* I'm not one to argue - only contributing what I know. I'm sorry if it came of any other way. Some days sleep deprivation removes my ability to convey humour and sarcasm. xD
