Is Lizzy pregnant or infected?

[Bulldog711]

The most interesting thing is that there were no details from Tanya regarding this slow turner.........What if slow turners are capable of retaining their cognitive abilities? A super powered SAUL is just what the team needs.....he could infiltrate the Zombies and also kick some serious ass w/ the mallers......Honestly I was excited when someone noticed the alternate desription of Lizzy's eye colour but alas it was a simple error.....Like they say, the simplist answer is normally the right one, and Lizzy being scared to the point of vomit is most likely

Actually no it hasn't been long enough. Tanya said that they had someone who took several weeks to turn. It can happen and saul is a very slow turner.

They have been gone over a month.. Saul had been sick before that. He would have turned by now. I don't really see kc having someone that takes longer then a month to turn.

besides... how would Saul have gotten infected since he hasn't had any exposed wounds? Burt missed the creature he was aiming at. I can see if it was a through and through then hit Saul when it exited the body. It didn't though.

That and an exiting round is hot enough to melt plastic and blister fingers.Had Saul been hit with Tommy's blood Pretty sure any virus on it would have been effectively neutralized.

Now that is something they don't teach in Self Aide Buddy Care or Emergency Combat Life Saving. Thanks Yarri!

DARN IT! thanks for the clarification.

Saul's infection was most likely due to the barbaric nature of the surgery they preformed on him to remove the bullet. I still STILL cringe when I listen to that part.. argh! Kc's use of descriptive terminology makes me shudder. Its a section of the whole story that as a nurse scares me. I learned the hard way about the rounds exiting the gun. When you are told not to pick up spent shell casings and you do and it leaves blisters.. Imagine what the round exiting the casing is like. I verified it as well.

I'm going with Yarri's analysis and agree the bullet wouldn't carry the virus. The only way I think the virus would make it into Saul would have been the spray from Tommy's exit wound.

But that's not necessarily what happened because we have no confirmation Tommy was ever hit by Burt. No gunshot wound, no blood spray, much harder to claim Saul is infected.

That size bullet would have gone straight through Saul unless it went through something first. It went through Tommy first. Tommy's blood splattered all over Saul and into the wound. So there's that covered.

I don't remember hearing them saying that they cleaned the blood of him so Tommy's blood could have been on Saul and eventually entered him. Saul was knocked out for a long time. I think you need to be concious to start turning. Now that Saul is concious again I think he will start turning. Quite slowly of cause

Unless the bullet is faulty. It sometimes happens that there's a fault in the bullet and that causes it to behave in ways that you wouldn't expect.
