So is the consensus that it's airborne and pretty much everyone is affected but it doesn't actually turn you until you die? Unless of course you die from a head shot or brain damage or something.
Seems like the only thing it could be and if they try to sell me on something else I'm not sure I could buy it.

The only other thing that I'm thinking is it could be passed through blood. Shane has obviously had zombie blood on him and was stabbed with a knife that had been used to kill zombies. Daryl had shoved a knife into Randalls leg and who knows what knife they were using when he first hurt it.

This might explain why the two guys at the bar that were shot didn't come back as zombies while they were having the shoot out since Shane regenerated really quickly and so did Randall.
