It has been established that all survivors carry the zombie virus, it only becomes active once you die.  People aren't really turning into zombies due to being bitten (so eating "tainted" meat is kind of a misnomer), they die from infection (due to parasites/germs that one would find on a rotting corpse) or lose of blood.  That's why you can chop off an appendage (like Herschell's leg) and escape turning.  I really think that if they had enough antibiotics that Bob could have been saved (again they had a surplus when Herschell was amputated), he didn't lose that much blood and the bitr really wasn't that bad.
True but the people from Terminus didn't know that. There would have been a lot of psychological things going on here and perhaps the members would have gotten paranoid and turned on each other. The writers should have played that option for at least an episode or two.

My reply was specific to you asking if they would have turned (into zombies or something different), not how it would have affected them believing so on a psychological level.
