chipperTHERE WILL BE SPOILERS.
Seriously. If anyone comments here at all, THERE WILL BE SPOILERS. So please don't read and then yell at me because you encountered spoilers. You were warned.
You can also start a book discussion at my website forums, with less need to be concerned that I will see everything you say! In case you wanted, you know, discussion free of authorial influence. I will probably answer a great many comments. I may not answer all of them.
Have fun!

1. Every non-ampliphied lifeform in the world has K-A inside it's body.
2. Persons and things like Georgia and Joe the Mastiff, which have the K-A resovoirs, can potentially survive amplification since the resovoirs are a form of antibody.
3. So the CDC killed those with K-A resovoir conditions to prevent the potential for anti-viral immunity. To make sure the immunities didn't occur in non-resovoir patients new strains were continually and artifically inflicted on the population.
If that happens would the resovoirs be retained or absorbed and dispersed throughout the body? (This is possibly unrelated or unimportant but I'm just curious.)
Shaun somehow never went through the amplification process for what it's worth do we know if the zombie strain from his attacker originated from the Cuban strain or the latent US strains?
If it's the US strain that speaks to so many fun unknowns concerning the bodies capability to adapt if it's the Cuban strain it is also interesting but I have no theory.
In the end none of this could matter in the slightest but it keeps poking around the inside of my head. A year is such a long time to wait, I can't wait for the audiobook so I can absorb Newsflesh while on the job.
