12/29 Another question, with so many people dead, how do they identify
them if they don't carry any form of identification? How many
of the 80000 is identified?
\_ They don't. A huge number of bodies are being buried in
mass graves, in many cases being shoved in by a
catterpillar truck, because they pose a serious disease
threat. This is happening by the thousands.
\_ May they rest in peace....
\_ Part of the plea for help is for forensic experts and large
refigeration units for jury-rigged morgues.
\-i think dealing with the dead bodies is for human/psych/relig
reasons, not as a source of disease. --psb
\_ it's for all of those reasons. with tens of thousands
of dead bodies, infections are bound to be abundant.
\-this is not the primary source of infection. it is
fecal matter in water supply. this is not a case
of getting rid of the bodies of people who died of
an infectious disease [like in the black death or
ebola etc].
\_ It's also just common sense. If there's 500 dead
dead bodies where you live, are you going to let them
sit in the equatorial sun for a week while you dig
individual graves? No, you say a prayer and dump them
in a mass grave before the smell gets too horrid.
\_ So in other words, it's impossible to tell
who had actually died, because just counting
the bodies is even sometimes impossible. So I
guess if someone is missing, they will be
presumed dead unless they are found later? Sad...
\_ Note to self: Wait until tsunami hits to carry
out murders of people I don't like. Spelling
