The other theme is that people don’t run out of ammo until the writers want to kill them off. I can’t stand how many shots people get off and never reload.
The final thing that gets me is that people are not far more concerned about scratches getting walker blood/material into them, or just basic hygenic fear and making sure they tend wounds, keep clean and if they’ve touched walkers and gotten blood/brain/flesh on them to like decontaminate quickly. Because if you are bit you will turn. They can’t just have it that a non-lethal bite can turn you but getting zombie virus in your scratches or cuts can’t. A virus doesn’t care how it gets inside you. It will work either way. A non-killing bite has to work the same way as zombie material getting into cuts/scratches/getting covered in their blood when killing a zombie and not washing it off right away.
Don’t know. You don’t see any zombies’ gaping skin cuts healing up. If anything you’d think when your immune system gets weaker from overuse/can’t recharge under constantly fighting off an infection it can’t kill off, then you stress the body further with a bad injury, it should allow the virus to potentially take over - just like a bad chest cold or flu can allow pneumonia to set in as a secondary infection.
