All I know is that actual epidemiologists have modeled Romero zombies and determined they wouldn't be a very big threat outside of wherever the outbreak started

not sure you mean Romero zombies, they're the case where ANYONE who dies, regardless of situation, comes back as the walking dead, there wouldn't be a "patient zero" in that patient zero would be global

Er, ok. The "if you get bit you become one after a short incubation period then eat brains" type

The brain eaters are Russo zombies (from the trashy Return of the Living Dead knockoff series), created by a chemical rather than contagion

iZombie zombies are ironically pretty close to Russo zombies (and I guess turn into Romero zombies in their "failed state" of not getting brains for too long)

Romero zombies killed you if they bit you but you still turned if you died any other way The creator of The Walking Dead, who follows Romero rules closely, said he always headcanoned that zombie bites were nothing special and they kill you through "normal" sepsis and germs

Like, obviously, people who die *now* don't become zombies, generally. In most zombie media, pre-existing corpses aren't shown to become zombies [skeletons?]. The question is then whether anyone post-incident can die without becoming a zombie, and what circumstances cause this.

The big thing that happens at the end of Day of the Dead is someone dies and then doesn't turn And the leader says they have to watch and see if he does turn, and if they keep watching long enough until he rots into dust and nothing happens then maybe it's finally over
