what I hate is that Lee CAN survive a zombie bite by amputating his arm, but it's too late for that now. Sucks, that he will probably die like that when he could've lived, but it's still pretty dramatic.

Eventually they lose consciousness and "die," for all intents and purposes - and are then reanimated as walking corpses, vis-a-vis the disease that all humans apparently have now.

Comics I believe have stated that you can't die from scratches.
