This movie version of rabies turns people in a short period of time,but irl it depends on the site of the infection.

You know that rabies is a done deal once you start showing symptoms.

"There are seven kinds of coronavirus and four of those are variations of the common cold."....There is evidence that people with frequent contact with the common cold have better resistance to ncov.

Usually the rabies incubation period is long enough to take counter measures,but in a scenario like this people would be fucked.

Classic rabies is spread by any bodily fluid too,before even showing symptoms.Someone spits in your face,fucked.have sex? Fucked,literally.Bites are only the fastest route.

You can be bitten or scratched and be unaware of contracting it.... Consider mass hysteria,consider people that cannot outrun and do not posess guns.yeah.

Also try self isolation when the sick people are trying to bust in your house night of the living dead style.

Everything is always so simple,and everyone likes to think they would know how to beat the "villiain" ,but the truth is,it depends on many many variables..
