The Last Man on Earth : If everyone on Earth is dead what happened to all of the dead bodies?
Re: If everyone on Earth is dead what happened to all of the dead bodies
They explain it in season 2 after Mike and Pat go to Miami.

I assume the virus didn't kill instantly. People would have had time to go home or to a hospital.
Re: If everyone on Earth is dead what happened to all of the dead bodies
They showed a field of bodies in Miami. People were cleaning up until the end
They could show a few random bodies beyond that for realism, but the show is essentially a comedy and the focus is not on the deaths of everyone, but rather on the survival of those left behind

The actual answer to that question is the writers didn't want bodies because they didn't want it to be a focal point of the show. They just wanted it to be about the living people.
No skeletons or corpses, nothing, where are all of the dead bodies at?
If you check out some of the Writer's Room threads Andy Bobrow talks about it in one of the Season 2 threads. There's a lot of great insight into some of the plot ideas in those interviews.

This is probably the most virus-heavy episode, but it still keeps things subtle and restrained. What were your thoughts on this? Did you think you spent too much time on it? Not enough?
Will had wanted to do the sea of body bags for a while. I think he brought it up in season one, and we definitely considered it for 201. Just to have a silent scene where Tandy and Carol are driving and they go right through a CDC tent village full of body bags. Since the pilot, we kept seeing people online saying, where are the bodies???? We knew some people just had to see them. This was our way of saying, Here. A buncha bodies, happy? Can we get back to the show now?
Im embarrassed to admit, I kind of took it personally when people would say, Where are the signs of chaos? There would be bodies everywhere and crashed cars and stuff. As if we had missed the first rule of apocalypse stories. I felt a mission to show people that there are other versions of that story. Pat lays it out quite simply: Most people died in their homes and others were taken to makeshift triage centers. So I think we spent the right amount of time on it. We just wanted to give a plausible explanation, frame the story our way, and move on.

Hahaha! I wonder if we fans can take credit for TLMOE finally cutting out the annoying Phil-tries-to-get-into-women's-pants plot.
Thanks for posting (and bumping) that link, by the way. And, more importantly, for quoting and highlighting the important bits. I have sudden visions of your classmates fighting over whose study group gets to have you.

I think it was always in the cards for Phil/Tandy to go in that direction and bottom out before starting to redeem himself, but it's fun to imagine we had an effect on how quickly the turnaround happened.

Aww! I never really got that, but I do recall my high school class voting me #1 "Most likely to study on a Friday night" in our Senior yearbook.

Very true!

No skeletons or corpses, nothing, where are all of the dead bodies at? Did Phil just go around and pick them all up and give them all proper burials? doesnt seem like his thing, and no signs of dead bodies in other areas either.
