Wait could be the common cold/flu? Just evolve version? Look at the people that haven't been affect, soldiers, criminals and doctors, they would all have a their yearly shot, right?

Could be a lot of factors to consider. Diet, drugs or chemicals ingested by certain individuals, medications, antibodies, genetics? Could be it doesn't affect people with green eyes or a chemical from hair dye, makeup... it could be any combination of them as well. Though it is possible there is no 'immunity', simply some are able to fight off the infection longer than others? Tanya did say that some take longer to turn than others. This could be explained away by the method the infection/virus was transmitted. Really hard to say.

I remember listening to that part of the episode and thinking KC must not know measurements... a dollar is only 26.5 mm wide, not 6 inches. I then paused the episode and laughed at myself for forgetting that the USA uses dollar bills. oops.

I hit the wall and caught up with the current episodes two weeks ago. I thought I would not like the pace of one episode per week, but so far I am enjoying every moment WA.

Keep up the great work.

A stronger immune response and the factors you listed really make me think about different possibilities. Logic would state that there has to be a commonality between them.

One thing to remember about immunity is that to get it your body needs to have been 'exposed' to whatever it is at some point to get the antibodies. Natural immunity comes from anitbodies that you get from your Mum/Mom.
Not saying this to stop any theories, but just to keep in mind when we discuss this.

(Very basically :) )

Yep yep yep.. makes me wonder if its like I think it was Os that said it constant exposure to low doses of what ever the "haze" is.. (if it wasn't Osiris and someone else I beg your forgiveness)

But the dollar is 6.14 inches long. It makes sense if you consider that Saul isn't going to spit out the mouthful "It's about as wide as a dollar is long".

Exact reason i think we should post a photo of dollar and a hand. We have so many listeners out of the US.

Or if anyone can find that large of a crack...

You all thought I was in my tin foil hat when I said it was Tree hugging bio terrorist hippies didn't you? hmmm :)

Well they need to hug the trees more gently...they kinda killed em..:D

I wouldn't write ANY theory off just yet...right now all we have is some cracks and a haze to go on...judging from the various opinions here...this could go any of a half dozen ways...including aliens (not likely, but just roll with it)...

I'll remind haters that as unlikely as it seemed at first...kalani was the rat..and it made for a hell of a story...whos to say the outlandish wouldn't do the same here?
