The British government has drawn up plans to create mass graves to deal with deaths resulting from the promised swine flu outbreak this Autumn. A newly drafted Home Office document, entitled The Framework for Planners Preparing to Manage Deaths, states that mass burial sites may be required to cope with the pandemic.
The 59-page document originates from a meeting of government officials and council leaders held last month to discuss emergency procedures in the event of a "second wave" of H1N1 flu. It states that the number of burials could more than double within a few weeks of a full-blown pandemic and suggests that cemeteries "may experience shortage of grave space, in particular in inner city areas".
"As a back-up option for higher fatality rates, cemetery managers should plan alternative ways of providing graves," the document says. A potential solution, "which can allow interments to be undertaken more quickly", according to the document, would be "a grave that is for a number of unrelated persons, excavated mechanically in advance and designed for efficient preparation and use."
Local government officials should consider the preparation of a "burial site for multiple graves and consecutive burials", the paper comments, adding a stipulation that "marking of the position of individual burials" must be carried out. The report also notes that such procedures "could not normally allow for the adjacent burial of family members."
The discovery of the published document was highlighted in reports from the Daily Mail, The Press Association, The London Metro and The Sun, which carry a scan of plans to increase mortuary capacity

I'm sorry but I just have to say 'And'?
Pandemic planning documents have been around a while. I used to know someone on a disaster committee and the eventualities they had to plan for would make your hair curl.
The fact is, this is a mild disease in most but it is also very contagious. Unless it replaces completely the average flu there will be considerable extra deaths. And that's just with the mild version. So yes they have to plan. And yes they have to plan for a worst case scenario. It irks me to say it, but I sometimes feel for the authorities. Put this sort of thing out there and will always be some muppet from a conspiracy site crying doom. And if they don't and the worst happens, people will point the finger and accuse them of not preparing.
There is enough real stuff out there to get worried about.
what the, how much more real does have to get for you?
