I think Carol is going to ask Us to research how to get rid of Us. Since they'll do things that have destructive potential towards themselves if it makes Carol (or other uninfected) happy then they shouldn't have a problem researching how to cure the infection even if it leads to their ultimate destruction.
But wouldn't allowing someone to leave the collective cause that individual stress? They use the example of a person drowning in a river and throwing them a life preserver. So they can't just throw someone into the river.
But then we also have the example of releasing all the zoo animals. Clearly "they" knew that some of them would die when they released the animals. But also some of those zoo animals probably wouldn't survive without assistance. So are they also helping them the same way they help Carol?
But also they sped up their infection/activation plan after the military found out about "them". So they have a sense of preservation.
It just doesn't quite add up.
