28 Days Later...

28 Days Ago... animal activists broke into a Cambridge laboratory and released chimpanzees infected with the "Rage Virus". This led to the rapid spread of the virus, and by the time the protagonist wakes up 28 days after the initial outbreak, the UK is in a state of collapse. The timeline from Day 1 to 20 shows a progression of the epidemic from exposure and infection to mass evacuation and the fall of major cities. Timeline from Day 1 to 20 Day 1: Exposure - Activists break into a Cambridge lab and release infected chimpanzees, leading to the initial exposure to the Rage Virus. Day 3: Infection - The virus begins to spread rapidly among the population. Day 8: Epidemic - The epidemic is in full swing, with widespread reports of the virus. Day 15: Evacuation - Mass evacuations are underway as society begins to break down. Day 20: Devastation - London falls to the infected, with millions infected and a state of complete devastation. Day 20 (continued): The final survivors are seen in the Scottish Highlands watching TV when the infected arrive, and Jimmy Crystal's family is attacked.
