NSTworld: America’s Covid19 coronavirus epicentre of NewYork is grappling with how to deal with the dead.

As the Big Apple’s death toll from Covid-19 soared to 3,485 on Monday, images of bodies covered in sheets being transported on stretchers by health workers in protective suits are a common sight outside hospitals.

“If you don’t have the space... you need those trucks,” added Brewster, whose small business has been bombarded with requests for funeral services for Covid-19 patients over the past week.He is finding it difficult to cope with the stress generated by an influx of bodies, particularly because he himself just lost a cousin and close friend to the pandemic.

“It’s almost like 9/11, going on for days and days and days,” he said, referring to the worst terror strikes on US soil back on September 11, 2001. “Trenches will be dug for 10 caskets in a line. It will be done in a dignified, orderly and temporary manner. But it will be tough for NYers to take,” tweeted Mark Levine, a Manhattan council representative.
