Did their singing/chanting attract the Corona-afflicteds?

Why not stop singing.

Read the book.

Bad advice.

Because the book is excellent.   If anyone watches the movie without having read the book, they would think the movie was decent.  If you have read Max Brooks work, then you know the movie is so-so.

TBH, there is no way they could have adapted that book into a standard movie.  I remember back when they were discussing making a movie out of it and one idea was to do a trilogy type movie, like Lord of The Rings.  #1 would be select stories woven into an Infection theme movie,  #2 would be stories woven into a Survival theme movie and the last movie #3 would have been about how the world was reclaimed.  But Hollywood being Hollywood fucked it all up and gave us two hours of Brad Pitt running around with some lesbian string bean.

I've never read the book, but I thought the movie was just Hollywood trash...

The book is usually superior to any film adaptation.  I may have to read it.  Of course, it will take me a while, LOL!

So then, in the book does the virus leave handicapable folk alone too?  ;D

Read the book.

Book was 100x better.

The format wouldn't translate to a movie, so I get it.  But the movie only shared the name.  Everything else was so different.
