When was it established that zombie bites are deadly?

When Carl is bitten season 8, it seems like everyone knows he's going to die?

Good question! I don't remember when it's established but according to this site
https://screenrant.com/walking-dead-zombie-infection-rules-changes-confusing-explained/

it's as follows:

Known as the father of the zombie movie genre, George A. Romero set out the initial logic for a zombie virus, and this time-honored tradition is mostly followed by The Walking Dead. Zombies are slow and shuffling, only stopping their hunger for flesh when the head is destroyed. Being bitten or scratched by the undead will turn a living person into a zombie over time, but any member of the recently deceased is destined to rise again with a hankering for human meat. Where The Walking Dead adds a little extra spice of its own is in the dormant nature of the virus inside everyone. Rick Grimes and his fellow survivors discover that everybody is already infected with the zombie virus, but the pathogen only comes into play upon death, reanimating the person as the emotionless, rotting creatures horror fans know and love.

There's no way back for someone after being bitten in The Walking Dead, that is unless the wound is on a body part that can be promptly cut off, and the time between being attacked and coming back varies hugely from person to person. Naturally, Robert Kirkman has been asked about the mechanics of his zombie virus on numerous occasions, and The Walking Dead's creator has consistently stressed that it is not the virus that kills. When a character is bitten, what leads to death is the generic (albeit severe) infection and fever that comes from being wounded by the mouth of a corpse. The injury kills a person in the way that any grievously infested wound can, but only after death has already occurred does the latent virus come into play and resurrect the victim as a mindless flesh-eater.

Hope this helps, Russell!

You're welcome!

I've been here since early this year. Not exactly IMDB but it's okay I guess.

It's nice too meet a friendly face here!

p.s. Whats the deal with that "Margo"? He/she seems to follow you on every thread you make?

Re: When was it established that zombie bites are deadly?

Nice to meet you, Lina! 😀 And vice versa!

PS. I've no idea who that is - apart from a person with far too much time on their hands, obviously!

It's Donna.

My heart bleeds for him, as a child. Someone took a kid and manufactured a monster. At the same time, as an adult, he's irredeemable.

Re: When was it established that zombie bites are deadly?

Who? Never heard of her!

If you get bit by a Democrat you turn transgender and Communist.
