It isn't about the virus.

Exactly. The whole reason the story starts with Rick getting shot and then waking up from a coma in the middle of the zombie outbreak is because Kirkman didn't want to deal with any of that part of the story.
All that's important to know is if you get bitten by a zombie, you will die within some undetermined period of time unless you can amputate the affected area shortly after the bite. If you die (whether by zombie bite or any other means) and your brain isn't damaged in some manner, you will turn into a zombie.
