Continuity mistake: When looking at Hattie's file, the picture changes in the file. It's only a slight change but look to the top right corner, in the first shot of the picture where it's being lifted up there are 2 or 3 green lines in that corner. In the close ups those lines have gone. (00:14:55)
Continuity mistake: When reading Hattie's file, her picture keeps appearing and disappearing from the file. It's not removed at this point. (00:15:00)

Continuity mistake: When the extraction process starts, Hattie is holding the device on her arm. Camera changes and she is no longer holding the device. When the camera changes again, she's back to holding the device. (01:35:40)
Revealing mistake: Shaw asks Hattie what she did and she exclaims "the big brother talk? Really?" we then hear the car accelerate, however if you watch the digital speedo, the speed is decreasing not increasing. (00:35:20)
Continuity mistake: We see the grenade spinning without its lever. We then get a close up of the grenade complete with lever attached. (00:25:55)
Continuity mistake: We see the grenade spinning and is a reasonable distance from the pin. When we see a close up of the two just before Shaw returns the pin, they're a lot closer together. (00:25:55)

Continuity mistake: When entering the airport as Mike Oxmal Hobbs has a moustache. When entering the plane it is gone.
Other mistake: The virus should get out of Hattie's body in 30 minutes, but when it reaches Dawn the machine is still counting, meaning that the 30 minutes aren't over.
Continuity mistake: During the morning scene, it shows Hobbs on the right side of the bed when he turns off his alarm and wakes up, but in the next shot, he's on the left side of the bed.
Factual error: When the Eteon bike is riding over the cars in the alley, the registration plates are completely the wrong format for the UK. Most cars use either the "A 123 BCD" or the "AB 12 CDE" format. Some personalized plates can be different such as "38 G." However none use the format shown in the film "D51M R9S" (00:36:20)
Answer: Many viruses are specific to certain types of species and do not cross over and infect others. The Snowflake virus was a programmable super virus that apparently was genetically engineered for a particular target.
