What happens when there is no restoration?

[Devonian]

I think the dead body disposal issue is being overthought.

In the type of situations being discussed, the bodies will either be placed in mass graves or incinerated in exactly the same way as the government dealt with BSE. Whether this is organised centrally or locally, it'll be the same result.

Which ultimately is the same as was done for the likes of the black death/the plague in medieval times "Bring out your dead...." except rather than a horse and cart, they'll be using tipper lorries, JCB's or even municipal bin lorries!
