No one knows. It's basically Chekhov's Gun for the series. Some people think that the doctor tells Rick that the zombie virus is airborne though.
that would be my guess too.
spoilers if you havent read the comics.>>
Or at least that you dont have to be bit to be turned
For right now, I'm sort of separating the comics universe and TV show universe. Because, remember that when they were on the highway, they saw lots of dead people in their cars, who hadn't been bit or turned. They were just dead from car accidents. IIRC, the director of the TV show said something about they died in car crashes and that's why they didn't turn to walkers. So we really don't know if whatever makes you a walker is airborne or has to be transmitted some other way.
This.
Also, if the doctor told Rick it's airborne then you would get infected through injuries faster. Why would he cut his hand open if he knew that? Especially his hand because he would have to use it a lot when defending himself.
Well, if it's airborne, then Rick knows he's already infected, so it doesn't matter if he cuts his hand. We just don't know.
Besides, if you watch closely, he puts a bandaid on after he cuts his finger at the fence.
