    I thought it was "It goes in the field then you plants the corn"?

    Hope this isn't information we will need to know soon.

    I hope we never need to use this manual as well.

    Death will never go out of style. We'll all have to deal with it. What if you can't call 911 and have the coroner come take the body away? It's good to know how to deal with this.

    What happens when the numbers fade? Does their inventory system go any deeper? Could be a new use for the old timber scribe.

    book mainy just covers a death in a sickroom type situation >>> totally different set of procedures if you have to handle walking dead corpses that hit your defense perimeter - unknown disease contaminations - cootie infestations - might have to even make a decision on a humane termination ...

    best to not even touch the corpse - loop a rope or use a catch pole set-up to drag the body for final disposal - spray down the body before moving with a bacteria disinfectant and also a bug killer - hit the entire area for a thorough job >>> make sure to document everything - especially if you need to do a coup de grace finish ...

    there's possible problems with body disposal for most areas - if there's a mass kill off like from an 80% kill ratio pandemic - the volume of bodies would be overwhelming just to clean up a small area to revive some civilization - in the frozen north there's no winter burial without power equipment - for body burning it would take almost an entire home to fire up ....

    Septic tank doesn't work either. Bodies take decades to decompose in that environment. (Don't ask.) Might be an option if you were leaving the area, but would feel like the movie Poltergeist if you stayed. It's one way to keep the old folks at home. Ethical as well as ground water concerns, although everything becomes an option when you are out of alternatives.

    Interesting. This is an area that doesn't get a lot of actual consideration. It surely does gives some good advice. Thanks
