This is straight from the comic,

Since I think the whole, bite kills you conversation probably just got misunderstood I think this sums it up pretty well. We were all getting to the same point I think just had slightly different thoughts on it. The good part will be when or if we find out how it happened, if it can be stopped, and at what point does it start to become more about eradicating and less about surviving.

The amputation of oldmanWinter's leg was not to "stop the bleeding" (still astounds me how you could possibly even remotely come to that conclusion). It was to stop the infection before it spread and killed him.

I dont see how this is hard to understand. Its been pointed out several times in the show already. They are taking the proper precautions in the group to make sure the ones bitten who have treatment are restrained until recovery has happened. |

Gotcha, I knew he went but probably just forgot they had said it was already raided. Its a good show, probably the only series I watch so dedicated.

The only way to stop the infection is to act quick and lop the bitten area of, that is if you are so lucky to have been bitten on an extremity or limb. The big black dude and T-Dog were gone, no matter the measures taken. |

Though its all hypothetical, any bite could and should be viewed as any other like injury. Obviously no amount of medical procedures would have saved Dale. T-Dog was not only bitten once, but covered in zombies and eaten. Had he only been bit and the wound treated like any other normal non life threatening wound than he could have been aided and recovered. Had they had the proper medical supplied Jim could have been saved as well.
Carl when shot if he hadnt been treated would have died and turned, Merle if he had bled out would have died and turned. All serious injuries, yet treated and recovered. Bites are no different than any other injury. If they are life threatening or not. If it can be medically treated regardless of the injury as if it happened by a zombie or by playing basketball in the prison yard it can be treated with measures, as they showed by treating Herschel. If a zombie bites your jugular and they cant get to you in time than yes you die due to being bitten... or you are bit and left you die. Bit and be treated if medically possible has been portrayed as possible and will continue to be.

this has been buried on this site. but the quick view of WD. all is infected with the virus. when you die, you "turn" shortly thereafter. if you are bitten by a walker, you are infected (doubly?) and turn feverish, and will die soon as well. when hershel was bitten, the crew (as it's assumed, off season) knew that there was only 1 chance to possibly save hershel, and that was by amputation. if tyreese (tyrese, whatever) is the comic version, it's badass time!!!

AttentionWhore, I assume you have read all the comics? Im only through #14 and like the show better so far. That could be because Ive never read a comic or graphic novel in my life and they are so much more "turn and burn" so to speak. What did you think?
