I had forgotten that Rick dropped that bombshell on the group.
As I read what you wrote it sparked a thought. If I remember correctly in the original Night Of The Living Dead, when the survivors were holed up in the farm house listening to the news, it was mentioned that the bodies of the recently deceased were reanimating. As I recall the scene, it never specified a manner of death for them to reanimate, which would fit the narrative of this show.
Also I don't recall NOTLD ever specifying what created the zombies. If your a director or writer for a show like this, even if you follow the Romero model for zombies there is room to explore your own path as it relates to the creation of the zombies.
Little things I didn't think about last night before I posted that.

I haven't read the comics, but if it's in them then it stands to reason to include here. Hey if nothing else it's more blood and gore, which was sorely lacking last season. And it's one of those grey areas that I don't believe George Romero covered in his movies. Maybe in Dawn or Day it was, but I don't recall it.
