What triggered the explosion of zombie virus?
I just feel confused,no matter TV shows or Games,both of them haven't gave a clear explanation about the origin of this virus. I list some possible causes,if you have new reasonable accounts, I'll add them in.:)
1. It's hard to explain,just like SARS or H5N1,they appeared suddenly without clear reason
2. Some bad guy are experimenting a new type of bio-weapon,but unexpected as well as uncontrollable changes happened during the process
3. These things are intentionally triggered by some anti-society powers

Hell, severed heads stay alive with no organs supporting them and people that hang themselves still return and grasp at survivors even though supposedly the neck is severed and there's no way nerve impulses can travel uninterrupted down the spine.
The causes and circumstances of zombie outbreaks aren't really something that stands up under scrutiny, just take it for what it is and be glad you have stuff to shoot.
Can't it be like this: infected by virus--series changes happened in body--mutation--zombie
Now,zombie is a totally different specie that never exists on earth before,as you said,their brain can function all alone when they are departed from their body.
We are talking about the dead coming back to life after all.
It gets very detailed and this is not a universal way I look at zombies but just a possible approach to their existence in fiction.
As for TWD since everyone is already infected, my thoughts are that we have some dormant virus in our bodies we are born with, since we do have ancient viruses coded in our DNA, that have been "switched on". Basically the virus won't go into effect until the brain just about shuts down is does and then the virus goes to work powering only the most limited functions - mobility and hunger. The question still remains, how or why did the virus awaken? Perhaps this is evolution, giving humans a second stage in life?
Just my two cents.
they don't stay strong. Some of them found are very decayed, and cannot even move. (in TWD comic)
The way I see it, and according to the survival guide, a zombie is only as strong as the person it was before. The reason they seem stronger is because since zombies are not able to think like we do and because of the fact they are driven on sheer impulse to feed there is no part of their brain that tells them how much energy to exert. Basically they grab and pull using all of their strength at full capacity because their brain doesn't tell them it's unnecessary. If that makes any sense.
