But dead bodies should not be a disease concern to the public, he said.
"Let's just make it real clear: Dead bodies in and of themselves -- while they are mental health issues and tragic -- they are not a public health issue from an infectious disease standpoint at all," Guarisco said.

Once again, an example of one person contradicting not only previous published statements but also common sense. Compare that statement to the following excerpt of an email from a doctor who was stuck in New Orleans:
QUOTE ---
Bodies are still being recovered floating in the floods. We are worried about a cholera epidemic.
After a dose of prophylactic Cipro I hope to be fine.

Why would a physician, who specialize in Infectious Disease and who just happens to be attending a conference about HIV in New Orleans when Katrina happens, worry about cholera and - after a trip through the flood waters - take a preventative dose of antibiotics if "dead bodies are not a disease concern"???
