Yes his family was skirted away to some gate community. They could all be dead, buried in a lime pit somewhere. Do we really expect truth from government and news media?
Yeah. "Gated community".
Probably one with bench beds, caged door windows, and locked doors. Upon death, it is body bag time for bodies, bedding, and all personal items and straight to the crematorium. No fuss, no worry, no reporters.
Afterwards, the cell gets sprayed with 1:10 bleach, locked, and quarantined for 7 days until the next patient arrives. Repeat. Rinse. Repeat...
If Louise’s tribe were dead, there would be no power on Earth that would keep Jesse quiet on that. Not even $$$$$$. Wait, where is Jesse? We haven’t heard a peep out of him since the first day.
