Seriously though, this is scary stuph.
The problem is that cases can only be conclusively diagnosed through an autopsy and four of the Idaho victims this year were buried without one. Two suspected cases tested negative. And three cases need more testing before C-J-D can be confirmed. A woman says no mortician in her area would agree to handle her husband's body after an autopsy, fearing they might catch the disease, so she skipped it.
The CDC should step in anytime a case like this is suspected. Isn't that what they're there for ?
