FULL TITLE:

DANCING WITH DEATH Plague is spreading because relatives are digging up their Black Death dead and DANCING with the corpses as part of ancient Madagascan ritual called Famadihana

===========================================================================

Madagascans have been told to stop the traditional practice of Famadihana - which sees locals dig up deceased relatives and dance with them before they are re-buried. It is feared the ceremony has helped spread an outbreak of pneumonic plague that has left more than 120 dead on the African island

It is feared the ceremony has helped spread an outbreak of pneumonic plague that has left more than 120 dead on the African island.

The country's health chief Willy Randriamarotia said: "If a person dies of pneumonic plague and is then interred in a tomb that is subsequently opened for a Famadihana, the bacteria can still be transmitted and contaminate whoever handles the body."

The tradition has been banned since the outbreak began, but it is feared ceremonies have taken place regardless.

Some locals are openly dismissing the advice.

Oh, this must be the ancient African origin of the Democrat practice of resurrecting the dead for voting purposes!

Come to Amerika, California wants you. Sanctuary cities welcome you. We love diversity, especially if you register to vote Democrat upon arrival.

I'm sure many of the dead will be voting in Virginia's elections next week.

It would be great if America was a gated community and we could keep out the pestilence people and other undesirables.
