Assuming that the Healers are the important part of the plot to find a crab bite solution, this leaves one big question. What's up with Clover? Or most likely, the Clovers? Clover is a big monster that likes to stomp stuff and they KNOW how to stop him anyway. If the parasite crabs are the problem, then what the heck is the deal with Clover?
Well, we all know that the crabs came from Clover as parasites, so perhaps they simply thought that the best way to make sure the city kept being "infected" with crabs as they get eliminated from the killings was by inserting Clovers. However, we all know that one of the three didn't have any crabs. Why insert one that's not "infected"?
Also, a question a lot of people have been asking, myself including is, what do the crabs eat? There's no animals, and they do not seem to eat humans. What if the Clovers are only there as a food source? They are parasites after all, they would feed back on Clover, keeping them alive and capable of reproduction.
So what about the smaller Clover with no crabs? It's very possible that it's too young to be bitten, or it was just inserted and didn't have time to get enough crabs on him.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, as proof that I need my diploma fast before my brain melts of microbiology, I present to you: my most far-fetched idea yet.
What if the infection comes from Clover?
Animal reservoir. Think of it like the West Nile Virus, birds are the primary reservoirs, but we get infected with it via mosquito bite. Basically, what if the crabs aren't the only ones making us sick? What if they are only the vectors, not the reservoirs? Considering they are parasite, and their favorite site is Clover, what if Clover is the actual viral reservoir? This could explain why Clovers are needed inside Manhattan as they cannot directly infect people.
Also, keep in mind that we now have two monsters, one that wasn't swarmed in crabs too. And soon after, the latest batch of kidnappers got bitten and, for some reason, the symptoms came in sooner. Could the newest Clover have a different strain? Has it been made stronger by whoever is holding us captive? Is it a freak mutation?
Or you know, maybe just to dissuade people from trying to take over...
I think I'll stop for now before I go insane from weird theories and get myself rolls of tinfoil.
