- Workers wearing hazmat
suits have been spotted burying caskets in a mass grave
on New York's Hart Island - as the number of burials
quadruples amid the coronavirus pandemic and the city's
death roll rises to more than 4,200.
A dozen contracted
laborers were seen digging and burying the caskets -
some of which had names carved on them - on Thursday.
The city has used Hart
Island to bury New Yorkers with no known next of kin or
whose family are unable to arrange a funeral since the
19th century.
Typically, about 25 bodies
are buried there once a week by low-paid Rikers Island
jail inmates. That number began increasing last month as
the new coronavirus spread rapidly and New York became
the epicenter of the pandemic.
They are now burying about
two dozen bodies a day, five days a week, DailyMail.com
understands.
Currently, 4,260 people
have died from coronavirus in the city and more than
80,000 have been infected.
Until now, officials have
remained tight-lipped on whether coronavirus victims
were being buried on Hart
Island.
On Thursday, officials
said they had no choice but to bury COVID-19 patients at
the city's cemetery as it deals with the mounting
coronavirus death toll and dwindling morgue space.

now being buried there

You might think that I am being a bit crass with my question, but has anyone seen the bodies? Interesting that they are using contractors. Were they worried that the inmates that would have dug the graves might talk.
The funeral parlors around here are closed. Do you think that they were closed so that the hospitals would run out of morgue space? This of course would hype the fear, and the sheeple would quiver with every breath that they take.
