That’s a problem, sure. But I find the body count rather more alarming.

That's my point- there's no reason to wake up today and be shocked that TB used to kill a lot of people, including kids.

If I found a plantation house with 1000's of bodies buried in the yard, and forensic evidence shows most died a violent death, in a pattern of killings that repeated itself for decades...

would you be alarmed at the body count at Arlington?

Then why are you alarmed at the body count of a overgrown cemetery "found" where it was expected to be found, and containing roughly the same number of graves expected?

Alarmed isn’t quite the right word. But it’s likely close.

I had no idea this was a thing or that any schooling system regularly buried children.
