Once you know that anyone who dies; turns, it makes the idea of a safe zone that much harder to believe. No matter where you go, such as the army base where those soldiers came from, someone is going to die. Heart attack, trip down the stairs, choking to death on a rubber duck, (It could happen) someone is going to die. Then you've got to kill them before they can spread it. And if that person attacks family that doesn't want to shoot mommy or daddy or their own kid, (Like what we're told happened with Duanne, poor kid) it'll spread even more.
Add in the fact that it seems like many don't understand that simple death can result in a new walker, that spells trouble.
I've only been watching the show since the beginning of this season, and this bit still confuses me.
I thought, at first, you had to be bitten to be infected but now that is not the case?
Am I completely wrong, and it's always been this way, or has something changed recently that makes it that way?

Sorry for such a noob question.
And put me in the camp with the folks that would stay put at the prison. The governor aside (hopefully soon!!) it would be hard to beat its "natural" defenses, although I'd be shoring up the parts where the deaders still seem able to wander in.
I haven't read all of the posts to see if this has been mentioned or not...
I saw scenes for the next episode and this is what I think. To me, it looks as if Rick's group has left the prison. When the Governor's people show up, they are looking around and don't seem to see anybody. Also, I don't think I saw any zombies near the fence. There is a scene where one of the Gov's guys is sliding open a door and we don't see what is behind it. My family thinks Rick's group stashed a bunch of zombies behind this door to greet the enemy.
I don't know where exactly Rick's group will go, but I think they have left.
Thanks for the answer rhymegirl and kaitie, and I agree, I would think eventually what’s left of society would find a way to deal with most deaths, probably with immediate incinerations.
Heh, imagine Soylent Green but with fire trucks instead of garbage trucks … oh, sorry.
But you’d still get walkers shuffling in. Not everyone dies around other folks, so …

Well, he was dying. Whatever agency is causing the walker/biter problem, it sits in the brain (and, I'd presume, other tissues) and magically reanimates the body if a person dies for any reason.Remember Jim from season 1? He got a bit on his gut. He was clearly turning.
