Coronavirus in US

Workers wearing hazmat suits and other protective gear were seen burying caskets three deep in a mass grave on New York's Hart Island Thursday, April 9, amid speculation coronavirus victims are now being buried there. Normally, about 25 bodies are buried each Thursday on Hart Island. That number increased to 72 since the end of March when coronavirus fatalities increased drastically in the city, according to the Dept. of Corrections.

Another view of the burial taking place on New York's Hart Island last Thursday morning. Names could be seen written or carved onto some caskets, obviously for future identification. It can't be missed how undignified this all is, in spite of the talk of "every life having so much meaning." The majority of coronavirus dead will remain in refigerated trucks until they can be buried or cremated.

New York City, one of the largest, wealthiest cities in the world, struggles to handle the death of 600 persons per day from the coronavirus pandemic – which begs the question how did a relatively small work-and-transit camp under German control manage to dispose of 6000 bodies a day???

IT'S NOT BEING CALLED THE CHINESE VIRUS FOR NOTHING.

Just this morning, I read on the Deutsche Welle coronavirus update web page -

14:18 Chinese police acted "inappropriately" towards Wuhan doctor Li Wenliang, who raised the alarm on the new outbreak, according to investigators from the central government. Li was reprimanded by the authorities in December for posting information about the epidemic on social media, before the government officially acknowledged the issue. The 34-year-old doctor was made to sign a pledge not to commit any more "law-breaking actions."

Li died of the new coronavirus in February, with his death prompting anti-government outrage on social media.
