“They have not died and are available again to life. They’re residing individuals who’ve received sick and been contaminated with a rage virus. That dictates some stuff,” mentioned Garfield.
“They must drink, they should eat. If they’ve survived 28 years contaminated with this illness, what would they seem like? Are they much like something within the animal kingdom? What would they be much like?”
