...if the police man hadn't gone around knocking on everyone's door and asked them to come downstairs? I know at that point no one fully understood the gravity of the situation, but in hindsight it sure would have been wiser to just tell everyone to barricade themselves in the apartments (like the alcoholic lawyer guy said he would).

It would have saved more of the apartment residents from running around and getting infected.

You're right. The drunk lawyer said the same thing, but did anybody listen? Noooooo.

Don't eva let nobody tell you you ain't strong enough

Actually, I doubt it would have mattered. Nobody knows exactly how the virus was spreading and seeing as a number of tenants had already been infected with seemingly no previous contact. If animals were spreading the disease then they would have been susceptible. Remember when the rat tried to attack the camera man?

Regardless, they probably wouldn't have had such gruesome and scary deaths!

well the rat and two dogs were running around the building spreading the rabies, so i doubt locking yourself in would matter. rats can fit into small holes and if you are asleep when they bite ya, your screwed still.

Sorry to keep bringing up the original, but REC gives the impression that the most vulnerable are children, the elderly and pets... So if you stayed indoors with any of them, you were bound to be infected anyway.
