Also, I'm going to assume Stoic had more sense than to allow for the progenitor to come out and have himself turned human by receiving a fatal wound, and then just telling the humans who the first infected was. There is a delay for turning zombies to humans again perhaps?

note: coming out with any information about the converting process reveals you as a scientist and is a less-than-good idea.
