City plans to use catacombs for swine flu victims
Bring Out Yer Dead!

[link to www.breitbart.com]

"A city council said Saturday it was considering using underground burial chambers, currently a tourist attraction, to store the corpses of swine flu victims if the pandemic worsens.
Exeter City Council said the empty 19th-century catacombs could become an emergency mortuary.

A council spokesman said the plan could be put into operation if the cemeteries and the crematorium could not keep up with funeral demands. "

Oh Boy.

Re: City plans to use catacombs for swine flu victims
No one thinks that this type of contingency planning indicates that the authorities are expecting large numbers of casualties?

Ok-hope you are right.

Re: City plans to use catacombs for swine flu victims
The UK has plenty of experience in dealing with masses of dead carcases, there will be no problem here.

Think: Foot and Mouth, Swine Vesicular Fever, etc., etc.

All good practice runs for when IT happens. There will be no dignity in death, only a desperate attempt to contain the other diseses brought on by the piles of putrid rotting copses.

Now, go wash your hands and take your Tamiflu shots like a good sheep.
