There is a horse carriage without any people on it walking towards violence. It would be implied that the horse dies given the situation.

Beth and Rob were not in a committed relationship so she started seeing another man. Rob reacts with jealousy but most other characters tell him he has no right to be angry as she was not dating him.

Somewhat. Not technically a hospital, but there's basically a scene in a medical tent/emergency medical station set up in a department store. There's people on stretchers, a body with their guts spilled out of their abdomen passes the camera briefly.

The movie was shot found-footage style so it looks like you're watching from a first person point of view, a lot of scenes were shot in tight, gloomy, or dark places.

No full nudity, however the movie starts with two characters in bed that are implied to be naked, but everything important is covered by a blanket or underwear. Bare shoulders are shown and the characters joke about filming the woman's chest.

Characters homes are implied, stated, or shown to be destroyed, and one character's destroyed house is later visited. The state of being homeless isn't focused on by the characters.

Multiple instances of blood and gore. At one point, a character is found to be impaled, and the other characters audibly pull them off of being impaled though the camera is pointed away. Another character bleeds out of their eyes before vomiting blood, and their abdomen explodes behind a sheet so you see silhouette and the splatter. Just before that, the characters are in an emergency medical station and a corpse with its guts ruptured is in center frame for a moment.

Though not shown extensively, a nuclear explosion did occur in the movie at the end.
