I had a thought...
A story idea popped into my head: Andy hasn't had the flu for thousands of years! Andy gets the flu!! :DD Nile to the rescue with chicken soup, etc!!! PROFIT.
But hold up. The crew was drugged at the lab, and it seemed to take hold as it would with anyone else. Plus Booker is shown to be filthy drunk at the end of the movie. This contrasts with how they can be shot multiple times, and keep going. It doesn't seem to take a death for the process to kick in.
Now. How many times have they all died from various flues and plagues? Do they even catch them? If they caught it once, does their body now have antibodies? Or is all of that reversed alongside the healing process once death kicks in?
Not even gonna think about all those samples left behind in the lab with the morally bankrupt doctor Kozak. Because that's how you get zombies, or ten fun old plagues having a comeback.
(100% handwaving how their hair grows back, but only to their current haircut, and how Quynh had air bubbles whenever she re-awoke in the coffin. ~movie logic~)
