Workers wearing Hazmat suits bury caskets in huge trenches on New York's Hart Island amid speculation it has become a resting place for coronavirus victims as the number of burials there more than quadruples and the city's death roll rises to 4,260

About a dozen workers were seen digging the graves on Thursday as at least one refrigerated truck was brought onto New York City's Hart Island
Prisoners from Rikers Island are usually brought in to dig graves on Hart Island but the Department of Corrections has now stopped those in custody from carrying out the work due to the coronavirus outbreak

enlighten me on this just a bit. Is that the place that inmates have buried around 2 dozen people a week for years?

Yes. And it's usually the homeless buried there.

90 x 90 = 8100

its actually closer to 80 miles x 60 miles.

Don't know- never walked it with one of those roller mileage thingies. The 4,800 square miles is correct. Anyhoo, the only thing I can figure is Easter is 3 days away and they are worried parents will bring all their kids to the park for an Easter egg hunt. Like they pile all the eggs in a big pile and let the kids go at it. Hell, it's eggs scattered over acres of park, and when you say go, all the kids scatter in all directions sometimes barely visible on the horizon. Sounds like the definition of social distancing to me. Like I said, common sense thrown out the window- did not expect that here.

yeah, i get it. but here's the thing. if your town had an easter egg hunt, even though you only have 1 known case in that huge county, if one family had an aunt come in town to watch her little niece in the easter egg hunt, and she had the virus, she could easily spread it to several people at an event like that. And before those people know to get tested, they could each spread it to several. that's how this shit is spreading around these other places. it only takes one.

Yes. And it's usually the homeless buried there.

so, other than pictures on the internet and stories, its the same thing that's been going on for years.

No, the inmates aren't doing the burials right now. Other than that, maybe.

Excellent parenting skills you folks have down there.

IRONY IS DEAD!!!!!! How's the death and destruction coming along? If only we were prepared and had working ventilators and tests and real data. Anyhoo. You were saying?

So nothing. I know.
The guy is a pig we both know this. Stop trying to throw the loser that destroyed the place a lifeline. You can do better.

Basically every country in the world is dealing with this. Can you taker a break from the anti-Trump rhetoric for any time at all? JFC.

Such a drama queen. Nobody is asking for your loyalty to anything. All anybody is asking is that you give us a break from your constant, non-stop, 24-7 Trump bashing. Youre a fucking one trick pony and your trick is already old and tired.

Places like that cemetery at Hart's Island are called "Potter's fields."

It's a place for the burial of unknown, unclaimed or indigent people.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potter%27s_field

The remains of more than one million people are buried on Hart Island, though since the first decade of the 21st century, there are fewer than 1,500 burials a year.

P.S. I looked up NYC Potter's fields, and found this:

Washington Square Park

However, the cemetery was closed in 1825. To this day, the remains of more than 20,000 bodies rest under Washington Square. Excavations have found tombstones under the park dating as far back as 1799.

For anyone who's been there.

It's comforting to have real leadership at this time.

In Omaha nurses are getting their hours cut since they aren't allowed to do elective surgeries they are running out of things to do.

What’s up in S Carolina? Same bullshit as the rest of the country. Just got a all from my GP his office closed indefinitely. Going to do my May 19 appointment by telepresence.

i'm not entirely sure, but i heard Lindsey Graham bitching because S Carolina (I think) was wanting to add another $600 a week ON TOP of what the federal government had alotted to people on unemployement. Basically raising them up to making WAY more than they make on their job. And I don't think its hard to figure out where that would be headed.

as San Antonio has 6000 cars waiting in line to get some food from a food bank...….Maybe the money is desperately needed?

I can see boosting UC to match what you were making pre-pandemic but I don’t think it makes sense to give people a bonus for being out of work.

How many people are getting unemployment right now? In florida these people cant even get online to start an application.....they just started making paper apps available. and if you don't starve before you might get a check its $275 a week. Can you eat and pay your bills on $275? It's fucking disgusting how people are treated but the shameful thing is these same people will keep voting in the same Repubs

the problem there, i think, is that people don't have the schools to provide one good meal a day for their kids. Close the schools and you are basically taking the best meal of the day away from every kid that was enrolled. So, they are having to compensate for that by opening up these food bank's. Its not the best solution, but its about the only solution.
