Going by what was said on the after-show, The Talking Dead , and the general consensus on the official site from AMC, we are indeed being presented with a plot device that sees everyone being infected with the 'zombie' virus, which is then activated upon death. Yes, you can be turned from a bite or bad scratch or at least the turn is accelerated , but now that just dying has been thrown into the mix, it appears that head shots are the way to go for everyone :.
Yes, they turned because they are already infected. Everyone is infected, regardless of being bitten or having an open wound. The belief is that the virus went airborne, meaning it's transmitted via respiratory infection vectors.
They breathed in the virus through lung tissue. Why they turned so quick seems to be due to individual biology, maybe immune system responses.
In the CDC, the scoobies see a MRI of a person, alive, but dying due to meningitis like infection of the brain by the Zombie virus this contradicts the whole zombie virus doesn't kill you thing, but meh. The patient dies. Then the Zombie virus kickstarts the brainstem.
The corpse is shot through the brain. Notice the time code! Other walkers are seen to turn just as quick. Shane reanimates in what seems like a minute. That's more Plot convenience than a realistic attempt at science, but given 4 minutes is shown to be a canon, scientifically proven timing, its believable as a standard deviation.
Before Dr. Jenner commuted suicide at the CDC, he told Rick that everyone is infected. I think that sometime during the apocolypse, the virus became airborne, maybe due to the growth of dead walkers piling up, or something else. The virus became part of the air, and as the survivors inhaled, the virus, along with oxygen and carbon dioxide, traveled through their bloodstream, spreading throughout their bodies.
But, in order for the virus to take over the bodies of the survivors, they have to either die naturally, die in the hands of someone else, or get bitten or scratched by a walker. In the TV show The Talking Dead , they explain it as the zombie virus also known as the walker virus being airborne. This simply means that if a person ever gets an open wound such as a cut on the face or hand or anywhere else on the body, you already have the zombie virus in you. So when Carl was shot, that means that zombie virus got in him through the gunshot wound but he wasn't turned over to a walker because he never died from the wound.
On the other hand, both Rick and Shane had wounds on their hands from the previous episode when they cut open their hands to attract the zombie to the gate and to the opening in that bus door which means that the walker virus was put into both of them.
Shane was changed over because if you noticed he had no wounds directly to the brain, only the heart which would allow him to "rise up" as a zombie. In the episode where the group that is lead by Rick goes to CDC, in the video it shows that the zombie virus only effects the brain stem making it reanimate leaving the rest of the body cold and dead. So if the virus only effects the brain then that means the only way you can actually be killed is if you are shot, stabbed, slashed, or have anything slam through the skull puncturing the brain.
So the only way you can actually be killed and remain as a dead corpse is if you are shot through the head or if you have any sort trauma to the brain that causes it to be punctured. Everyone already has the virus. If they are bitten by a zombie then it kills them and makes them a zombie. If they die naturally and do not receive a bullet or blow to the head, they will "rise" as a zombie.
If bitten, they will turn to a zombie unless the sustain a head blow; then they will become a corpse. Shane, just like everyone else, has the virus in him. When he gets stabbed by Rick, he rises as a zombie because no trauma was dealt to his head. If a survivor wants to be a walker,you just have to kill him but don't kill him in the head,you should just do it in any part of his body but not the head.
You understand? In simpler terms, if there is no head trauma inflicted upon a person when they die, they will rise as a walker a short time later.
Then again, it could take a very long time say, six hours at most to "re-animate". If you overdose on drugs and die, you become a walker. If you stub your toe and get an infection AND die, you become a walker. If you get your neck snapped and, well, yunno, die, you come back as a walker. If you are shot, stabbed, or badly bludgeoned in the head, however, you stay dead and do not come back as a walker.

Thank you. He is a member of the Living. During a shootout, he is taken hostage by Rick Grimes ' group. He served as the secondary antagonist of the episode " Triggerfinger ". In contrast to the other members of his dangerous group, Randall did not outwardly appear to be a completely bad person, however he did display antagonistic traits such as attempting to shoot Rick , Glenn , and Hershel in order to avenge Dave and Tony 's deaths and also encouraging Rick to leave Shane behind while he was trapped in a bus.
Randall did however seem to have good relationships with his fellow group members as he showed concern for Dave and Tony and also Sean. Randall however admitted to witnessing the cruelty of his group, though it is unknown if he himself partook in the same acts of cruelty. He firmly stated he did not participate, though there is a possibility he lied and he did hint a few times that he enjoyed the group he was a part of, and did not seem to be disgusted at his group's actions.
Even after being left to die by his group he still seemed to show some admiration for them as implied by comments to Shane and appeared to want to re-join his allies. Randall was also shown to be a sly and cunning person as shown by his attempt to convince Rick's son Carl to release him from his chains, claiming he was innocent and the members of his group are good people, showing that he could be untrustworthy and a liar.
He was shown to have a strong desire to live as he begs Rick numerous times to not kill him or allow Shane to kill him. He also seems not to be very good at hiding his emotions, crying numerous times during his captivity. Although it was never revealed of Randall's true nature, good or bad, Shane took no chances and violently murdered him to ensure he would cause no harm to the group.
Not much is known about Randall's life prior to or as the outbreak began, except that he was born in , attended school with Maggie Greene , and was on the varsity baseball team. He also lived with his mother and brother, whom he lost in the outbreak. He talks about having a normal life as "just some guy". He also enjoyed watching football and "screwing around on the internet". At some point following the outbreak, Randall's entire family was killed and for a period of time he was all alone.
He eventually encountered a group of about 30 survivors known only as " The Living " and became a member in which he assisted in scouting missions and protecting the group.
Randall himself claimed that he witnessed the atrocities of his group. One incident in particular in which his group gang raped two teenaged girls while they forced their father to watch, but kept them alive. Randall claimed he did not partake in the group's violence though he may have lied. He claimed the only reason he joined the group was to survive. Nate , in their truck, told Randall to jump down, but when he attempted to jump, he slid down the nearby roof and into an alley.
He screamed for the rest of his group to help him, but they took off, abandoning him. Thinking that he was consumed by walkers, Rick, Glenn, and Hershel ran over to their vehicle and found that he had fallen onto a railing-pike, impaling his leg. They negotiated on whether to save him or not, but they agreed to help. They were unable to get the leg out, so the suggestion was made that they cut off Randall's leg. Randall begged them not to amputate his leg, and Rick used his strength to rip him out of the spiked-fence as he screamed in agony.
The three then proceeded to put him in the car and blindfolded him so he couldn't know where the farm is. Randall still unable to walk, Hershel insisted that he should perform surgery on his leg.
Shane was visibly angered at Rick and Hershel's decision to operate on Randall, and both Andrea and Shane claimed that once freed he will lead his group back to the farm, causing a war and possible slaughter. Rick and Shane Walsh brought Randall bound and gagged with them to collect supplies and to leave him behind. However, Rick and Shane were shocked when Randall revealed that he went to school with Maggie Greene and knew who Hershel was. He also most likely knew where the farm is. Shane attempts to shoot him, but Rick intervened, causing the pair to fight and leaving Randall lying on the ground tied up.
Shane accidentally caused a horde of walkers to be released, which attacked the survivors. Randall was able to cut the ropes with a knife and was about to escape when he is stopped by Rick. Randall told him to leave Shane behind and promised Rick he wasn't going to say anything to his group, but Rick just told him to shut up. Reluctantly, they decided to leave Shane behind as he is trapped inside a school bus. However, at the last minute they changed their minds and drove past the horde in Shane's car, killing many walkers and rescuing Shane.
Even though Randall helped save Shane's life, he is once again bound and gagged and thrown in the back of the car. Rick said they will leave him in the barn overnight upon return to the farm, and that he would most likely be killed. Randall was brutally interrogated by Daryl Dixon to find out where his group was. At first, Randall refused to tell Daryl anything.
However, after Daryl stabbed him in the leg with a knife, he revealed that he joined a large group of 30 survivors hoping to ensure his survival. He also alluded to this group carrying out violent raids and gang rapes, prompting a repulsed Daryl to beat him even more furiously.
The rest of the group decided that releasing Randall would be dangerous and decided to execute him. They left him in the barn, saying they will kill him at night. Rick's son Carl finds a way into the barn, and Randall talked to him, asking him to set him free. Carl approached Randall slowly, not talking, but Shane entered the barn and saw Carl there. Shane took Carl out of the barn. Despite Dale Horvath 's attempts to convince the group otherwise, Rick decided to take Randall to the other barn to be shot.
However, when he was about to shoot Randall, he saw that Carl was watching. Carl encouraged him to shoot Randall, horrifying Rick, who subsequently changed his mind. Daryl takes Randall back to the first barn and ties him up, and then leaves Randall alone in the barn after hearing Dale's screams. The decision of what to do with Randall was still left on hold for Rick and the group, mostly due to mourning over Dale.
Shane was very persistent with Rick to "handle" the problem with Randall, but Rick was still reluctant. Later on, Rick decided to soon handle it, but with news of Carl's confession, Shane urged him to talk to Carl first.
Though Rick reminded him that Shane, himself, told him to deal with Randall, he claimed to do it "later". While everyone was distracted, Shane snuck into the barn and makes several attempts to kill Randall or at least frighten him into submission.
Shane then decided to take Randall out into the woods and claimed he wanted to join his "group". However, it was only a distraction as Shane proceeds to murder Randall by snapping his neck, and then slammed his own head into the tree to appear as if he was assaulted by Randall.
He then went running back to the farm, claiming Randall attacked him and ran off. Later, it was shown that this was obviously a trap to kill Rick, while the group was distracted, trying to capture Randall. Daryl and Glenn would later run into Randall, reanimated as a zombie.
The two had a fight with him but eventually kill him. They examined that there were no bite marks on his body and questioned why he became a walker without getting bit. After Shane sets Randall free, the two wander off into the woods, talking about the possibility of Shane joining Randall's group.
Once Shane felt that they've reached a far enough point away from the farm, Shane snaps Randall's neck, instantly killing him. Later, Daryl and Glenn find a zombified Randall in the woods. Daryl fires a bolt at him but misses, so he pins him to the ground, where Glenn slashes him in the head, putting him down.
Randall and Maggie were never seen together on screen, but they both went to high school together. Maggie didn't know Randall very well. In a deleted scene in Season 2, Maggie looks over her yearbook and saw that Randall went to the same high school as her along with his brother.
Maggie comments that Randall was a sophomore while she was a senior and that "I guess I just never noticed him.
