Major plot hole - how Claire ended up in hospital in no time and it took 6 month fo Barry to get there?

And why he acts like he know nothing of what to expect? Did Claire spent 6 month in coma and didnt say a word? Also how come no antivirus was mentioned ? She is still lnfected and nobody bothered? Who and who saved her from island if nobody knew her location? How she ended in american hospital? how much of time passed between leap of faith and hospital?
This scene almost ruined game, such a lazy writing!

...Claire drifted away from the island and it took some time for Barry to find it? It's a big ocean.

Can u freaking imagine her drifting to american hospital same day? This scene should have some justification at least as conversation that mention something like "she was found drifting by crew of some russian ship that just docked here. She spent few months there during their journey here, and she seems to be infected by unknown virus, we need to look for antivirus that probably should exist at place she came from, but it will take some time time to find the place, Claire not in good state to talk"
Just one line like thjs could justify scene, but there is nothing like this in game and its not justified at all.

SPOILERS, DONT READ IF YOU DIDNT FINISH STORY.

I imagine the timeline is like this:

1. Terra Save function ambushed, Claire + Moira and others are kidnapped and brought to island.

2. BSAA hears about this and investigates immediately. They don't have the exact location of the island but a ballpark idea. Maybe even Neil leaves a breadcrumb trail on purpose as a fallback plan in case She-Wesker backstabs him, he'd have the BSAA to "rescue" him.

3. Claire episodes happen until the fall and Moira is left to fend for herself. Her Struggle DLC starts.

4. Claire is spotted and rescued. She is in a coma and Barry gets no useful information from her.

5. Moira the Struggle DLC takes a sharp turn when the Afflicted turn to Rotten, and the Revenants come out in full force. Eventually she parts ways with the old man.

6. At the 6 month mark from the point where Moira sends the initial SOS, the BSAA finally have a location on the island and more intel---that's why Barry has "briefs" and "reports" in his playthrough.

This is also where your assumption is wrong I think, it's not 6 months since Claire was found, it's 6 months since the initial SOS. The time that Claire is in the hospital is probably much shorter than 3 months.

7. Barry starts his chapters and lands on the island. His final moment coincides with Moira having learned suvival tactics from the old man and a new attitude. She bumps into him and Natalia at the climatic moment.

8. Claire, having recovered some time during Barry's playthrough, wants to go back to the island. This takes time though, she probably has to be cleared by the BSAA and what's left of Terra Save, as well as all the other red tape these organizations have. When she gets the greenlight, she goes with a helicopter and a rocket launcher.

^Generally correct presenatation of the timeline.

If this would be the only plot hole in the game (or in RE in general)… :)
You'll get used to these in Resident Evils. It is not even the first time Claire is involved in a similar plot hole, Code: Veronica has an almost exact same one with its timeline.

[LANKO]

Natalia wasn't alone, she was taken by Neil (?) and delivered to She Wesker at the end of Claire 2. That's when the whole transfer plot went down, and she was released but it didn't work out the way Wesker thought it would---Natalia meets Barry.

Or am I forgetting something?

[Dfactor]

No, you're right. Natalia slept through that time, wakes up DLC starts, ends and she meets Barry. I don't see what's wrong here.
