Good book, but I think that one worked itself out at the end. Can't remember the ending well.
"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him, the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable an ignorable war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." - Albert Einstein Web - Blog - RSS - Math - LinkedIn - BM
I read your Einstein quote and it didn't quite make sense to me so I checked. Where you have "an ignorable war" it should be "an ignoble war". cheers

Good catch.

I saw it recently, They discovered that the pathogen was very susceptible to small changes in pH. The baby crying and the drunks digestive system made both their blood acidic, making them be the only survivors of the initial outbreak and eventually leading to the connection. Great film

Actually one was acid and the other alkali which initially confised the investigators until they worked out it could only survive in a narrow range of values.
