I really hate this plot twist. I've just finished season 1 & 2 but what is the point of the whole show if they're already infected? I mean, why didn't Rick just let them die and die peacefully? I really hate this, was Jenner perhaps lying?
Welcome to the forums.
We've already seen people turn who have died but haven't been bitten so it is an established fact that eveyone is indeed infected.

I don't really care about spoilers so don't worry and I am on the first episode of season 3. I'm a newbie, if you will.
At a guess the virus is airborne. It went into the air and everyone is infected with it. However the virus is in two parts...
Virus 1: Everyone is infected with a virus. No matter how you dioe you become a walker. (Unless you die by head trauma)
Virus 2: You are infected by being bit / scratched, this virus kill you. After you die virus 1 brings you back as a walker.

Ah. I got confused because I thought that they would all just randomly turn. What's the point of breeding then? There is no way out
No, they wont randomly turn If people could randomly turn then you would be safer living on your own.
Everyone is already infected but are babys infected? And even if you are infected you can still live a good life. Just make sure someone has a gun ready when you die.

That is true but if the disease is airborne then surely babies will get it to, either that or the mother will pass it on to the baby. I know but there is no way out, the disease is always going to be there unless they find a cure but the scientists fled and now Herschel is bitten so they don't have a doctor. So eventually everyone will be one. I mean they have to get overrun at some point...
And this is the part where you watch the rest of the season and I dont give you spoilers

It's confusing.
So, everyone is a carrier of this virus. Every living, breathing human being has this disease. So... Why when you get bitten/scratched by a walker do you suddenly become one? Don't you already have the virus? That's like having the flu, and while you have the flu, someone else who has the same strain flu as you sneezes on you. Um, so what? I already have it. Can't get it twice.
Or if you have AIDS, you can't be infected twice, cos guess what? After the first time, I already had it.
Just makes NO sense to me whatsoever.
I think they'd have done better to make it so the survivors were somehow immune to it. I know that would ruin a lot of the drama of the show, but hey, zombies are pretty dangerous w/o the whole becoming a zombie thing. Just being eaten alive is pretty wicked bad. That's enough to make me wanna run fast and carry a big gun!
anyways, it's silly to debate the science of a make-believe virus. But honestly, I feel like even for make-believe, that's a pretty weak plot, making it so everyone is infected and will become a walker once they die. Really weak.

The person above...
This should explain.

The other theory is that bites don't give you the zombie virus, it just leads to a bad infection (from the rotting flesh and maggots in a walkers mouth which kills you, then you turn after you die. But that leaves the question as to why fresh zombies, like a person who had literally just turned, could bite someone and they'd still get the fever.

My wife and I recently discovered the show and watched seasons 1 and 2 in a span of a week. Wow - what a show! This topic has been bothering me since I scrolled through this forum, but it occurs to me that the doors is still open for the writers to build in a future cure that would cure carriers (ie all of humanity, which is apparently carrying the disease and will turn after death) even if it wouldn't protect against the dangers of a bite or bring back existing zombies to living humanity. In this scenario, theoretically humanity could survive by killing off all existing zombies. Thoughts?
I think the trip that Rick and Co. made to the CDC was to tell the audience that we aren't going to get answers (and I'm ok with that), but I could be wrong.

I'm OK with that too. My main point is that I disagree with the OP regarding "what's the point of the whole show..." because in theory, the door is still open for there to be a cure for the carriers.I think the trip that Rick and Co. made to the CDC was to tell the audience that we aren't going to get answers (and I'm ok with that), but I could be wrong.

I disagree with the OP, but for different reasons. I think it's about survival in an extremely bleak world. The door may still be open for a cure, like you said, but I hope not.
