Infected are people that have been bitten by zombies but haven't died yet. Mentally, they behave like zombies and are extremely hostile towards uninfected humans. As a side effect of the virus, their mind degrades significantly, and they have trouble speaking coherently or using tools or weapons unless they have a lot of muscle memory with them. Physically, they are still alive, and although they carry the virus it's possible to cure them. They are as fast as uninfected humans, and almost as fragile, if a bit stronger and tougher. Beware, infected rise as walkers after they are killed if they are not disposed of properly.
