For those who watch The Walking Dead

I have been catching up on this series and there is one thing I just dont get. Alright so they find out that they are all infected anyways so even if they die of natural causes they will still come back as a zombie...
So why the fuck does them getting "bit" by a zombie kill them and make them turn? It doesnt make sense that a bite will kill them when they are already infected anyways. Once they are "infected" shouldnt they just keel over and die anyways?
Maybe I am missing something but to me it seems like there is a flaw in the way this shit was written

Interesting point. I guess that there could be two different strains of the infection--one that is airborne and one that is fluid-borne. What I don't get is how there isn't anyone alive who is able to find out a single goddamn thing about the infection. I'd be able to tell you whether it's viral, bacterial, or fungal in a few hours tops. Derp.
Whatever. It's all going to be and by MXE i mean Aliens in the end and we all know this.

I suppose one way of saying it is, the airborne virus that everybody has lies dormant and activates undead animation upon death, whereas the virus entering the bloodstream through a bite or scratch causes the reanimation process to begin immediately.

I thought exactly the same thing. Looks like synthe may have cracked it though.

I would say its just chilling in there blood stream in till something activates the cause for them to die. Like a bite lol. Once they get bit i guess thats when the fever starts

OR the fluid-borne disease only kills them, the Airborne disease only resurrects them.

Do people actually become zombies from minor bites in the show? I thought there were examples where they didn't but I might be remembering wrong.

the disease was supposedly airborne so everyone has the virus dormant in their system while the bites act as a catalyst killing them with a high fever and shutting down their internal organs before reviving them as zombies, it's explained in the show.
Fun fact: In the comics nobody has any idea that they're already infected

Has anyone else been pretty damn disappointing with the current season? Not having anything to do with the OP's post but just in general?

I think maybe with the bites it's not so much a reanimation of some dead tissue...it's more like a lateral move. Or it's just super fast acting when it hits the bloodstream. I dunno. I know they call it walking dead and the people "die" before they reanimate. But for them to be animate, they technically can't be dead, they're just functioning in a state that is unknown to science...supposedly. The guy at the CDC had knowledge that the general population didn't have, maybe there's more to it.
Edit: whoa holy shit, I'm too drunk to keep up with the pace of the pub tonight

It's a polypeptide chain written out in their zombie DNA that comes out as an enzyme that converts all human's normal cells into zombie stuff.

it's zombies man, it's just how it is. there isn't some actual scientific fact behind it because zombies don't exist! 
and no, this season has been great.
