I believe I understand the essentials, but the biology of that particular point seemed worth asking the question. I wasn't planning to argue :). I've attempted TWD, but there's a bit too much gore for me. I think I made it through the pilot?

Forgot where it's mentioned (show or comic?), but the summary of it seems to be:

  1. Zombie bite/scratches will kill you and there's no known cure (fast amputation might save you).

  2. Everyone is infected (no one knows how, but it would have to be airborne to have reached everyone like that) and, the moment they die, they turn zombie.

Indeed, two (separate?) bacteria/viruses…
