Manageable means manageable, not curable. Manageable means that we know what steps need to be taken, that we have an infrastructure set up to take those steps, and that we can take them. You're right that that would have to include having enough undertakers.

You make many assumptions.

Do you have a degree in Public Health? (I don't FWIW).

Manageable is distinguished from unmanageable, which means chaos, panic, hopelessness, oblivion.

I believe we would see much chaos, panic and hopelessness if there were to be a major smallpox expidemic unleased in this country by terrorist action.

Oblivion? I don't think that is something that would happen.

Or, rather than agreeing, you could have just said that "manageable" isn't good enough for you

Your post was directed to another poster, but as for me, it isn't good enough, for I disagree with you that it is manageable.
