TWD Season 6

[Ravenshire]

I get that not all the walkers were created at the same time. But, it's still been (at least) a year, story time and  Most of the turned came in the first weeks, as shown in "Fear the Walking Dead" and implied in "The Walking Dead." But, there are walkers by the thousands everywhere they turn. The walker population should be dwindling as decomposition wipes them out, but there seems to be as many as there were in the first season, less the odd few killed by survivors.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the show, but the walkers resilience doesn't make sense.

You're right.  At some point it would have to mean that there are a lot more survivors than what's implied, in order to explain hordes of the walking dead traipsing through town with regularity. But would the show be nearly as good?

The sad part is, they could have addressed it in the episode where they visit the CDC. They could have used the doc there who was studying the walkers (spoiler
