People were often burned in numbers or buried in large graves in great numbers as 100s died every day

They were either burned, or buried in mass graves, because the people were dying in great numbers..


Burial of 40% of the population is completely unfeasible; corpses were burnt.

I watched something on the history channel about this... apparently they'd carefully burn the bodies of the people who died or set the people's homes on fire so the disease wouldn't spread.

In some cases, fearing they'd get sick, everyone would just completely avoid a home where they knew to be dead bodies (some would leave town/abandon their farms).
