Coronavirus, death, and religions

Religions have been responsible for spreading COVID-19 by cramming congregations into their churches, mosques, etc., in the middle of a pandemic. But they're also creating risks through their obsession with corpses.

For the sake of public health, all bodies of people who die of infectious diseases should be cremated immediately. But followers of Judaism and Islam see cremation as an absolute taboo.

Is there no limit to the irresponsibility of these cultists?
