The T-virus acts faster if the host is already dead. If they're still alive, it is much, much slower. Then there's individual immune systems, method of infection and so on.
The Nemesis doesn't have a new virus in his body, however the cells of the Nemesis parasite do "invade" and spread throughout the body by catalysing the T-virus cells so effectively what is produced is a "new" T-virus, but still the same.

Didn't the Researchers at spencer mansion take like days or weeks to fully turn? And it was only like 12~24 hrs before Jill was given the anti-virus. So unlikely she'd come near to turning.
The virus would still have to kill Jill before it could regenerate her into a zombie. It could just be that the human immune system can at some level battle the T-Virus but it eventually wins as its like a cancer. Normally a virus kills a host cell to produce more viral cells but the T-Virus revitalises cellular function, so it kills a cell, takes over the dead cell turning it into a viral factory. But it could be the white blood cells can for some part subdue the T-Virus cells but ultimately, like cancer, the white blood cells do not kill the infected cell producing the viral cells so ultimately the immune system looses.
Shame Capcom never tried to wrap this up and they'll probably never will.

So NE-T is not referring to the virus inside of nemesis? Would that mean that Brad was infected with just the ordinary strain of the t-virus?

There is no actual mention of a virus. The liquid medicine is used for culture fluid. "NE-T type" is actually abbreviation for "Nemesis T-Type". In this case, it is referring to the culture fluid used to contain the Nemesis.Tags: None
