I wouldn't call it a minor retcon. That's how the outbreak in the original film resolved, and how 28 Weeks Later started. You could argue it caused a mutation this time, but that only requires even further suspension of disbelief if the rules don't stay consistent.

    Is it particularly unbelievable that a virus that affected most of the UK population would have regional mutations though ?

    Infecting new hosts is literally how viruses evolve. It's quite logical that a strain that keeps it's host alive while continuing to effect others would becoming the dominant strain.

    But this is 2025. We already know explaining that to a certain subset of the population is beyond futile.

    Yeah i feel you. What amazes me is that in 2025 you can't just enjoy shit anymore, you have to look for plot holes and inconsistencies like you're a TVTropes moderator in a bad mood. Mfs would read a dozen papers on benzene buildup rather than enjoy the kaboom-boom for a minute.

    What a joyless way to live your life.
