What makes me go Hmmmm is that they didn't use biohazard suits - for the stage of repackaging into transparent containers.
For all we know, there could be plague bacteria there in the casket (not intentionally of course, but just because it was around at that time).

One might hope that any rats or fleas which got in would have long since shuffled off this mortal coil.

So? There are plenty of other ways of getting bacteria into the body.

That cat is dead now, he revealed to a filming camera that cats have the ability to teleport and had to be killed before he also revealed the rules of cat language. Later, the incidence of new lolcats images temporarily increased by 100%. It is thought that they are a hypnotic and have been known to severely reduce the IQ of viewers. Dogs and small children have a similar ability. It is unknown whether small children are knowingly involved in this. Perhaps they are hypnotized as well.

I had the idea that Plague was not directly transmissible, human to human.

[QUOTE][B]Bubonic plague[/B] is a [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoonotic_disease"]zoonotic disease[/URL], circulating mainly in [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flea"]fleas[/URL] on small [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodent"]rodents[/URL], and is one of three types of bacterial infections caused by [I][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yersinia_pestis"]Yersinia pestis[/URL][/I] (formerly known as [I]Pasteurella pestis[/I]), that belongs to the family [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterobacteriaceae"]Enterobacteriaceae[/URL]. Without treatment, the bubonic plague kills about two thirds of infected humans within four days.
The term [I]bubonic plague[/I] is derived from the Greek word [URL="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CE%B2%CE%BF%CF%85%CE%B2%CF%8E%CE%BD"]βουβών[/URL], meaning "groin". Swollen [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymph_node"]lymph nodes[/URL] (buboes) especially occur in the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axilla"]armpit[/URL] and [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groin"]groin[/URL] in persons suffering from bubonic plague. [I]Bubonic plague[/I] was often used synonymously for plague, but it refers specifically to an infection that enters through the skin and travels through the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphatics"]lymphatics[/URL], as is often seen in flea-borne infections.
Bubonic plague—along with the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septicemic_plague"]septicemic plague[/URL] and the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumonic_plague"]pneumonic plague[/URL], which are the two other manifestations of [I]Y. pestis[/I]—is commonly believed to be the cause of the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Death"]Black Death[/URL] that [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Death_migration"]swept through Europe[/URL] in the 14th century and killed an estimated 25 million people, or 30–60% of the European population.[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubonic_plague#cite_note-1"][1][/URL] Around the Mediterranean Region, summers seemed to be the season when the disease took place. In northern Europe, the disease had its most frequent outbreaks in the autumn.[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubonic_plague#cite_note-2"][2][/URL] Because the plague killed so many of the working population, wages rose with the demand for labor. Some historians have seen this as a turning point in European economic development.[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubonic_plague#cite_note-3"][3][/URL][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubonic_plague#cite_note-4"][4][/URL]
