It's a flu. The doctor said as much, the new doctor. That the hemorrhaging was from a virus...the flu. Hershel confirmed as much when Rick told him about the sick pig about how lots of flus can be passed from swine and fowl to humans.
Hershel didn't grow his leg back, they found a prosthetic limb while out scavenging and fashioned a boot to it for him. You can see it leaning up against the table in the first episode.
They had people out culling walkers at the fence in the first episode. Tyrese came out whining about how he couldn't stomach it. Carole mentioned how there seemed to be more than usual. Not to mention they just keep coming and they don't get tired. Then you add in feeding them...and you can't keep up.
