I cant believe I just thought of this and it applies to not just walking dead but most zombie story's
if we all are infected already ,why does a non-lethal bite from the undead have any effect other than an infection from exposer to rotted flesh and the bacteria it contains? that might kill you without medical attention but it will take a while.

I think the rationale is that the pathogen in a zombie's saliva/blood is a lot more concentrated, or is more active, than whatever is passively running around in a living person.

that is why I cant believe I just thought of it now and not years ago.
I don't know if I like this zombies going mainstream , you used to talk about zombies with your friends while anyone who heard you thought you were disturbed or a "nerd" or something now you end up talking dead with an old lady at the supermarket. lol
when I get time I want to see what you guys came up with but for now it's back to my bunker for the winter.
That's what I said. I would have my kid at arms reach at any moment. It could be that since they were relatively safe where they were (in their apt.) that they don't appreciate the danger. Either that or stupid writing.
The sad thing is I wouldn't be shocked that someone like her would exist in a situation like this. People are dumb. Maybe they wanted to show that people take danger for granted.

Did you miss the part where the Gov. was beating Hershel's head in with the handle of the sword?

No, because that didn't happen. He was chopping the head off with multiple slashes.

Actually, upon second viewing, it does sort of look like he's hacking his head off. Color me wrong.
Just going by pure context, Herschel was cut maybe 40% thru his neck, shallow enough to worm away for a bit. Then after the Gov swinging a bit his head was completely severed. Pretty safe to say he finished the cut (maybe sloppy as an unskilled user) versus beating a decapitation with the handle of a sword

Saw those pictures and thought: If that chewed looking neck area is from zombies, then the Governor must not taste very good. Once a zombie or two grabs hold, I expect it to be a non-stop buffet.

Thinking about the zombie baby scenario and have a couple questions
Would a zombie baby's body continue to grow to adulthood? If the body ages, I assume they would not learn to walk so would they just be crawling around? Also, in the chaos that was the first few days of the zombie outbreak, I'd imagine that some hospital was over run before the maternity ward was cleared. If so, could there be a room somewhere full of 3-4 year old zombie kids(again assuming the bodies matured) laying in beds or incubators?

She made the mistake of listening to the Governor. He said they were safe there because zombies can't cross water and she still thought he was the super zombie survivor. Who would have expected a zombie to be buried in a mud slide? That being said, at this point I would be paranoid for myself, let alone anyone in my group. Especially after that zombie got washed away and not idea if it would wash up on her side of the river. Actually, how did they get the RV there in the first place? Over a bridge or did they drive it through the water? This is why you should not over think shows.
No. That type of growth would depend on a functional metabolic system. An infant that died, would "turn", & just basically lay there (or slightly move to the extent an infant might be able to move), until their body deteriorated/decomposed to the point where it was not viable in any fashion...
IMO.
