The deaths are rising courtesy of corona virus

We were surprised to learn in January that a virus called corona is  pestering Wuhan City in China. A few thousands have been contaminated and a hundred deaths are recorded. But in a matter of one week, the numbers jumped quick to an alarming level. By February, there is a sort of panic in China that even Beijing was put on a lockdown. Fortunately for the Chinese, the contamination is now seemingly to be under control although it is not yet zero.

They say that the dead from corona virus should be cremated to make sure that there are not straggler virus on the loose. The corpse can still  be a carrier of the virus that during the wake in the funeral home and also during the interment in the cemetery there might still be a risk. Maybe that question can be answered by the embalmer.
