The Ezhou government's statement also says bodies will be 'sent for cremation.' It's unclear if that means cremation is mandatory. https://t.co/lenkGUhyyf— BNO Newsroom (@BNODesk) January 26, 2020
do they burn bodies with Ebola? Did they with Sars? Seems appropriate to do
I think cremation is usual among traditionally Buddhist Chinese; and in Chinese metropolitan areas, because there isn’t a lot of space for graveyards.
In this instance, I think cremation makes sense - whatever other, ulterior motives the government may have.
