It would have to be I would guess at least a couple weeks for everything to go completely to crap, but I think it would actually have to be longer. I figure the nurses and family were probably keeping him shaved and taken care of but then stopped when the dead came back, so the beard is more an indicator of the time between complete chaos and his waking, not the coma as a whole.Depending on how fast his facial hair grows, that's a good months worth, maybe two. That's a long time to be on an IV drip with no one replacing it. I'd opt more in favor of the "the more chaotic it became the less time they had for patients, and even visitors, and only focused on the priorities." It's still odd that he woke before he starved to death.

As for the 28 Days later comparison I guess both are references to an old horror movie. Some movie about the world going blind and plants attacking people, that apparently is now getting a remake. Go figure.

You could be talking about a different couple mainly because I did't retain a single name from the show. (I'm terrible with names)
