Corrected entry: When the crew is getting in the fire truck near the start, the camera man gets in after the presenter. Next thing, they've switched sides. There was no room for them to switch sides.

Correction: There is enough room for them to switch sides and plenty of time for them to do so in between shots.

Corrected entry: The people who get bitten early on in the film take several hours to develop any symptoms. Then once they start biting people everyone develops symptoms within minutes. The doctor says that the incubation time varies with blood type, but it's beyond willing suspension of disbelief that the first victims all share the same blood type that is resistant while the later victims all share the same blood type that is barely resistant at all.

Correction: The doctor only said that some blood types are resistant and some aren't, he never said which types. It's possible that only 1-2 blood types is highly resistant while all others offer very little. They all took different times to turn (the doctor took a few minutes,the original policeman took approx 20 for example), so it's possible the first woman just had very resistant blood.

Mistakes

Plot hole: In the scene where they go to the intern's apartment to find the key to go out the through the basement there is a moment where they can't remember which apartment belongs to the intern. When they ask the cop who did roll call he can't remember. Angela says that in order to figure it out they should go check the mailboxes in the lobby and match up the name. This would lead them back past all the infected people and undoubtedly make the movie more interesting but it would have been safer and quicker to rewind the tape in the video camera and see which apartment the intern claimed when his name was called.

Suggested correction: It definitely would not have been the safer option. Where would Pablo, Angela and Manu have stood while rewinding and starting the tape to get to the required footage? The apartments that are open all contain infectees (Ms Izquierdo, Jennifer, the young cop, Cesar, health Inspector), and the other infectees are roaming the hallways and staircases looking for survivors. It would have been far more dangerous to stand still out while rewinding footage, than to check the mailboxes.
