Zombies are people/creatures that have
come back from the dead.
Afflicted, or the infected are people
who have some kind of disease/illness.

EX2: Timmy's pet
hamster rose from the deadIt's against nature, physics, and science in general for someone to get shot in the heart, stand back up, and start eating people.
If you're dead, you'll stay dead.(Unless someone somehow revives you some way.)
Case closed.
Max Brookes writes entertaining, but fake books.
Dictionary defines zombie as the animated body of a dead person. If the 'zombies' you are talking about are just people that have a disease which causes them to act irrationally and desire certain things like human flesh, I MIGHT believe it, but if this disease brings people back to life in a mindless fashion...no.
According to the book, the "only" way to kill the "zombies" is to shoot them in the head.
They also grow gills.
