It's always been a problem with the show and the comics that they rarely focus on planning or small day-to-day stuff. And characters never seemed to have a talk in one big group on what stuff to do to reduce the chances of getting bit. Like covering exposed skin, wearing more leather stuff, always moving in groups, always shooting with silencers etc. They only seem to care about ammo and food. At least the Kangdom people had armor and stuff.
Most of the plot is about killing/not killing the living and/or the main villain, debating on who's supposed to lead and "this isn't you", "this is the way things are right now", "we have to move forward, before is before" etc.
