What I don't understand is...

Spoiler: 

How did Robert Carlyle's character survive the carpet bombing? How did he manage to get access to the quarantine areas which contained a VERY contagious and dangerous virus? I know he was a 'caretaker' type but there's no way he'd get such access in a military are.

I reckon

Spoiler: 

He found another under Thames walk way which the American's didn't notice, just like the unprotected/unbarricaded one that the main charactors managed to get out of.
The incompetence of the Americans was demonstrated by them putting everyone into a dark underground carpark and forgetting to lock the back doors.
Getting everyone out onto a rooftop where the only access (stairs) can be protected would have been much more sensible.
