People turning in 3 seconds is ridiculous and impossible.

You don't know the half of weaponized virii, & bacteria powers. At places like Plum Island, there is a KILL order for any animal that lands on the island, because the diseases ARE that potent!
Learn something, read something, don't just make up crap to support your TV view of the world. There is no known virus, weaponized or not, that can infect you and alter your brain's functions that drastically within a few seconds. Chemicals, yes. Viral agents, no. There are indeed horrible viral agents out there that do incredibly awful things, and some that do them rather quickly. None of them, though, work
that
fast regardless of what scientists have been tinkering around with it. The end results can be horrific yes. But you can't go from being infected to 15 seconds later being under the full effects of it. And if you're bringing up "kill orders" they'd be due to the probable infection percentage, and the effects, not due to the movie-like speed the virus worked. If a virus worked as fast as it does in this movie, it would be eliminated by it's own process.

There ARE virii, & bacteria that can kill you in under a minute. Bury your head in the sand some more Mr. Ostrich, that will protect you from all of the bad things out in the World LOL:)

Only in movies. If you honestly believe this, and aren't trolling for effect, then seriously - you have absolutely no idea about what you're saying. There are no known viral agents, and no known bacteria, that can kill you in under a minute from being exposed to it. They simply don't work like that. Do some reading before you try and talk about something that your only knowledge of comes from horror movies. I get the impression you're mixing up chemical agents and viral agents in your mind.

If you knew the names of those sorts of virii, or bacteria in our secret government, & corporate labs you'd have to be eliminated! SERIOUSLY

Just take a stroll into one of our bio-research weapons labs, & you'll become the example. And leave your respirator at home, so you can enjoy the full effects of weaponized virii, or bacteria you dismiss as being fake because you can't comprehend them

Sorry, but no.
I'm in med school and I can tell you for a fact that viruses cannot "turn" a person (i.e. show signs and symptoms) that fast.
Why?
Because a virus works by using our own mechanisms against us. It doesn't magically start dividing and multiplying instantaneously. It enters a cell and then seizes control, ending up with lysis (destruction) after it has exhausted the machinery of the cell. This bursting of the cell releases newly formed viruses, which then go on to infect other cells.
Most of the viruses that we know which do affect a person's mental status take a long time to do so. First of all, our body has something called a "blood brain barrier" - where the blood that flows through our body does not make direct contact with our brain and our spinal cord (the central nervous system). So, it is difficult for a virus to actually enter the central nervous system. Secondly, if a virus is able to do so, if it is not contained, it causes DEATH. Rabies, one of the most commonly known viruses to affect the brain, leads to death if it isn't contained. If a person starts showing signs of rabies, he dies from it in as short as 2 days to as much as a week.
Viruses aren't some sort of poison or chemical compound that are instantly harmful to us upon touch. They are made up of the exact same things we're made up of: some have lipid (fat) envelopes, they have a carbohydrate (sugar) coat, they have proteins like we do which function in the same manner, and most importantly, they have nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) like we do.
If viruses worked in the way that you think they do, none of us would have a nascent period and we'd show signs and symptoms instantaneously. People would die after instantly getting rabies or get liver cancer right after being infected by hepatitis B or C viruses. -

Wow, you're really thick.
What you're saying is like saying we have a weapon that can change the chemical composition of our beings.
Some things are restricted by the laws of physics. The reason viruses act in a particular manner and take a longer time to disseminate throughout our body is simply because it is physically IMPOSSIBLE for them to take over instantly. Even when we inhale gas, like halothane (an anesthetic), it takes more than 3 seconds for it to take effect and this is gas we're talking about. The smallest virus is thousands of times larger than the largest gas particle.
And I'm pretty sure most of my last post went straight over your head, even though it took me more time to dumb it down than type it up. -
