I was a little interested in the alternate timeline wherre Kurumi had died (or Miki, any of those quick time events they failed). But this is dumb.
I expected it to end with them getting nuked. That would've been funny.

The nuking part would actually be on-line with the storyline, as the nuking would only be aborted after their radio transmission convinced aborting the bombing... The area being quarantined would actually be near impossible given how late in the story these sequence of events would have occured in, not to mention the aerial transmission of the infection. If we are to assume that the helicopters arriving were to be true in that situation, it is highly likely that the organization had already found the cure for the infection which is near the school's water supply(?)... Or that they were already being tracked by a large part of the organization. The troops assigned in tracking were already close by to the point where contact occured in the original story, which means the only likely way Kurumi would be lost is if Miki was shot by the troops after being bitten herself, but at that point the school's rooftop would already be occupied by the soldiers... In the original story, the soldiers were not particularly having the kill on sight mentality as they had the assumption that these girls had the solution for the pandemic... (Probably friendly fire on their behalf... It's not uncommon for aerial gunning gone wrong, but that wouldn't have happened if you already have men on the ground)
I have no confidence if I remembered the sequence of events correctly, but I think in the timeline the girls would most likely die by both gunfire or infection rather than killing each other... (Not to mention the drug not actually being the cure)
Only possibility for this sequence of events to occur is if the organization wanted five more minutes before going out of bed?

... I mean this is one of the what-ifs for the story so I may have been a bit too harsh, just wanted to do some in depth analysis out of boredom

After rereading, I have come to the conclusion that the entire plot is different from the original storyline...
I feel like an idiot now XD

Yeah, I think all this happens relatively early in the story. I respect the "in depth analysis out of boredom" though.

Kurumi was bedridden twice from the infection in the story; I mixed up the one early in the story with the later one where I thought the plot this "what-if" story was in... The handcuffs should've been a dead giveaway for it to have occured in the first infection attack (atleast that's what I think? I don't remember the handcuffs being there in the later one atleast)
That said, I was solely basing my info on the manga and haven't really watched the anime so my analysis earlier wasn't able to consider the differences of the manga and anime to give a possibility for this situation to occur...
I highly doubt that Miki will do retribution tho since she was also the one to attempt in removing the psychosis in the first place with a clear emphasis on codependency... In the first few chapters..
For the part about the quarantine, maybe in the anime the airborne infection wasn't mentioned? I put that assumption together as I've never seen any clips of the anime showing the college which was the area where the airborne possibility was laid bare, tho the radio site would also be needed to be missing in the anime if that were the case (which luckily, no contradictions yet?)...
Gakkou Gurashi (the manga for what I know atleast) is written in a way where foreshadowing was spread throughout even in the early stages for the buildup of the late part of the story... If anything there was too much detail that just pointed the story's directions to what it is, so it would seem to be quite hard for anyone to just deviate from the original storyline without giving compromise to the original plot...
Since the quick time events were pointed out, I think those would be the best timings to branch off from the original timeline to create a what-if scenario while staying true to the original... I kinda also wanted to see how the girls would tackle that problem but also kinda scared that it would just break my heart... The girls had already went through tragedy and were already developing into greater people... To throw out that progress would probably leave a bad taste... I kinda appreciate the author of the original that they didn't give it such a tragic ending... At the same time, seeing a possibility unfold of how much they could have messed up also just makes me value the story as how it is now.
