And when fifty percent of the people are dying in the streets and you cannot do anything to help -- no medicine, no food, you cannot even arrange for their bodies to be carried to the graveyard or to the funeral pyre -- the people who are left alive will be in a far more miserable condition than those who are dead. The dead will be the fortunate ones. Who will be responsible for all this? All these priests.
