If the sickness is triggered at death, then at this point it'd be.. saliva-borne? Food borne? The previews for future episodes look like the jail goes into full scale walker takeover mode, so I'm assuming some of the people in jail turn.

And what was up with Rick burying his gun?

On 2nd thought now maybe the deer Daryl killed was infected? They seem to be setting it up so that animals are now carriers. I'm sure we'll find out.

Yes i think that's a good point. Remember there was the sick boar in the woods that died right before Rick met the irish-sounding lady that had whatever it was in the bag "eddy"...

But i'm pretty sure in the comics animals 100% cannot get infected so maybe this is the show's take on things...

Couldn't it be just a regular kind of disease is spreading? Like swine flu? Everyone is already infected with the zombie virus so once they die the turn anyways.

Yeah, that was sort of my guess. The world of TWD seems extra dirty and all the seemingly "normal" diseases that are are otherwise easily remedied are going unchecked.
