I am surprised that there is no skepticism here about the cremation numbers.

1. Crematoriums usually have enough capacity to deal with average death rates. Anything above that and it starts to look horrific.

2. What is the definition of "covid protocol" for cremation? Does it mean the patient had covid? I don't see this clearly stated any where.

3. There might be a delay between the two numbers with crematorium numbers being more current. This also contributes to the "10x".

The numbers are bad enough even without unscientific exaggerations.

I am open-minded about this FT article's claims being accurate, but there

Well, science is all about observations, the idea of people being forced into adhoc cremations on the street is quite an observation.

Is it due to space capacity or labor capacity?
