    I actually do have trouble understanding irrationality and non existance of logic or doing something without having a goal in mind be it subconcouse or concouse :)

    Life is frustrating ^^

      They do have a goal in mind by the sound of it, it’s to give their friend funerary rites to honor them.

      Keep in mind that these people may not have the same educational background as you or me. I wouldn’t take it for granted that they have a firm understanding of germ theory. Doesn’t help that westerners have fucked with Africa for hundreds of years so distrust isn’t exactly unwarranted, either.

        That same ‘west’ that would be blamed if they bowed to cultural conventions and allowed the release of the body and all those young men also died of ebola and spread it to other family members.

          Well yeah, they clearly shouldn’t release the body. I’m just explaining why this incident shouldn’t be a surprise to people
