1* So who cleaned up all the corpses? Did the virus dissolve all the adults?
2** The show starts ''months'' after the virus hit; Trudy got pregnant around that time, and her giving birth is one of the first events in Season 1. Any corpses would've long decomposed by now. Even if they didn't, it's mentioned that the city's nearby graveyard is "full of bodies", implying that kids dragged their parents' corpses over there (or burned them, if they subscribed to the Locos' 'abandon the past' ideology).
3** Bodies take way longer than a few months to decompose, and a skeleton can exist for centuries. We do see one skeleton on that island research station though. Logically there should be way more in obscure places like that. There must have been a highly irregular cleanup initiative that someone organized to clear the place, maybe in the first few weeks when food was plentiful and no one was worried about their day to day survival.
