New York City is looking into ways to temporarily bury the dead because of the mounting coronavirus death toll

"We are exploring using Hart Island for temporary burials, if the need grows," spokesperson Freddi Goldstein

"We are only conducting city burial at Hart Island at this time," Aja Worthy-Davis said, referring to the island that has a history of being used by New York City for burials of the indigent and unclaimed dead. The city would not have to pursue the temporary burials if the death rate from COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, drops enough, Levine wrote later on Twitter, calling temporary interment a"contingency plan."

Deaths are mounting but there have been less for the past two days. But still trying to enflame. I see the media becoming very desperate in the next few days while this terror begins subsiding and they have to find something else to attack Trump about.

It all could have been so different if he had made the right decisions.

So Sad...My Prayers to NYC 🙏

Lot of bad mojo on Harts Island

You should also think, how Iraqis buried the dead, and now they're not even worried about the dead that Trump wants to do in Venezuela

News intends to incite emotional chaos and panic. “We are exploring ... for temporary burials, if the need grows”. If I say: I’m exploring for ways to protect my house, doesn’t mean my house is in danger.

Cremation should be the only answer at this point in NYC.

They should add more to Seneca Village.

then they would dig them up, and rebury them They should sadly go the cremation route or mass grave.

Cremation
