    Look, this is horrific and sad. But I just want to add that this Lemmy post’s title has the unfortunate pacing and wording of a parody or comedy. Like a “Grandma got run over by a reindeer” kinda thing.

    Edit: Don’t downvote me, fam. You don’t think this exact memo would have been passed between commercial newspaper editors? “Hey, uh. Don’t you think this wording is a little insensitive?”

      I actually edited and then I flustered on the community part, restarted and forgot to edit it again. I agree 100 percent.

        I like the Lemmy community. There’s some crap here, but I’ve been mostly having good experiences with people. Thanks for contributing to this impression. ^^

    Always good to see Modesto in the news! /s

    It seems like if nothing else this would be a public health concern. That they weren’t required to retrieve all of the remains but houses have to be scrubbed and sanitized feels incorrect. Someone screwed up here, and it’s heartbreaking that the families had to pick up the pieces.

    Thanks for the article OP. It was a good read! But I think that’s enough news for me today.
