In the film they arrived by boat. If memory serves, they were on a short term refugee ship that was sent out when the airborne outbreak first occurred. Their short term refuge turned into a couple of years when a cure had not been discovered and over 90% of the world’s population died. Out of I don't know how many hundred people on the ship, there were 8 people that turned out to be immune to the disease. When they attempted to dock to re-supply, 6 of the 8 were killed by the "Dark seekers" as she called them and she and the little boy were the only two left (it wasn't clear if the kid was her son or not thought). Anyway, they picked up the radio transmission he had been sending out or a rotating frequency daily and made their way to New York to meet him.
