Tragic but you gotta cool bodies rather quickly after death if you want to keep open casket funerals an option for the families. These might be just makeshift morgues.

It's just a cold. No cause for alarm.

3 more semi-trucks were parked 100 meters away

We've had refrigerated trucks keeping the dead chilled in Chicago before.

Indoor ice rinks are another option.

RIP and comforting prayers to their families who couldn't even be with their loved ones in their dying hours.

Shameful if some decide to weaponize yet another thread for their stinking anti-Trump politics.

Did you do an autopsy on all of them? Any of them?

Since I read two days ago their morgues were not at capacity and they had built makeshift chilled tents to use as morgues should it become necessary, I am skeptical that there are that many trucks lined up stacked with bodies due to coronavirus.

Went to a funeral this week and one of the relatives lost it during eulogy about coronavirus keeping them from being able to carry out any of the person's meticulous pre-planning even though the person died for other reasons. Only immediate family was allowed in funeral home. Burial had to be closed casket at graveside invitation only with no information about it published in obit.

That's the saddest thing about this. When they die, they die alone. I have a few friends that have COVID, and a cousin, and my cousin is feeling weak and tired at the moment. I hope she pulls through, because the stress this is putting me under is really not fun, and I don't want to lose anyone I know.

There was a death in NYC every 9.1 minutes BEFORE covid-19. That is according to NYC government itself.

That said, any contagious disease is going to roar thru NYC.

That is according to the CDC. So far this season, 12,000 people in the U.S. have died due to flu-related illnesses and complications, according to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Of those deaths, 10 were children. (That was as of February). Yet we only hear about the 1,500 covid-19 deaths. Why?

Probably people who get the flu now are certain it must be covid-19 - and it's not.

Are we now going to shut down the USA every flu season? The flu puts the elderly and those with other serious health issues at lethal risk.

I hope that they all pull through.

a couple of days ago a very odd series of incidents occurred on the NYC subway

At the moment, it doesn’t seem the fire was caused by accident.

“Right now we’re investigating several things. There were other fires that we are looking at that we have to see is connected to this on 86th Street and 96th Street, we’re looking at that. We’re also looking at a fire on 116th Street as we speak,” said Deputy Chief Brian McGee of the NYPD. “This is a criminal investigation, absolutely.”

The fires at 86th Street and 96th Street were on the platform. The fire at 116th Street was on street level, McGee said.

those other fires were simultaneous to one aboard the subway train

The fire broke out around 3 a.m. in the second car of a train located in Harlem, near the 110th Street and Central Park North station, causing significant damage to the train and the station.

NYPD Deputy Chief Brian McGee said they are investigating whether previous fires in the city are connected to the deadly blaze.

that arson - which could not have been the result of a lone wolf - causes me to wonder if there is something nefarious going on by terrorists, exploiting this pandemic to stoke fear in NYC (and possibly beyond)

your article is dated February 7; things change

"Why This Flu Season Might Be the Worst In a Decade, According to Doctors
This season has been dominated by a form of the flu called influenza B, “which is completely odd,” Dr. Schaffner says, since influenza B doesn’t typically create large outbreaks. H1N1 flu viruses are also starting to rise and “we may have a double-barrel season of influenza B followed by H1N1,” Dr. Schaffner says. “We have all these odd ingredients coming together so that we have, at this juncture, an awful lot of flu with the potential for being as bad as our last bad year, if not worse.”

If you start to come down with flu-like symptoms, like a sore throat, cough, fever, chills, and fatigue, Dr. Schaffner says it’s best to talk to your doctor. They may prescribe an anti-viral like Tamiflu, which can lower the risk you’ll develop serious complications from the illness."


It was a bad flu season this year that if not for the Coronavirus probably would have made the news. The difference is that there is a flu vaccine and Tamiflu is available to help lower the risk of serious symptoms.
There were a lot of hospitalizations and deaths. The difference here is that hospitals were not overwhelmed.

I do not know why you are having such a hard time with the why everything is being shut down. CV19 is new and there is no immunity, no current vaccine, a long incubation period, and highly contagious

Coronavirus doctor details young patients' lung scans

"Dr. Ignace Demeyer, who works at a hospital in Aalst, said an increasing number of people between the ages of 30 and 50 have presented with severe symptoms, despite having “blank medical records” that show no underlying conditions that would make them high-risk, the Brussels Times reported.
“They just walk in, but they are terribly affected by the virus,” Demeyer told the Belgian broadcaster VRT.
He said CT scans indicated they were suffering from severe lung damage."

You are overreacting about the possibility of everything being shut down EVERY flu season. This one is one for the history books much like the Spanish flu of 1918 Here is a notice from the time:

Trump was wrong to underestimate the danger of this virus but so were NY politicians, many who told NYorkers to not isolate and carry on with their lives as usual.

Before the coronavirus outbreak nearly 200 people a day died in NYC. 7 trucks x 44 bodies per truck = 308, enough trucks to handle bodies from 1.5 days, if computed from before the coronavirus. How many are dying each day now? 220? 300? 500? Does anybody even know for sure?

I agree. I think he should of told everyone they are going to die and there was/is no hope.

I am so sorry and can understand your stress. Have most your friends already recovered? Were they ever on a ventilator? I ask because I have a lot of family working in healthcare. A nurse my brother in law knows is on a ventilator. I am so worried. I hope your friends and cousin are doing good now.

Certainly pointless since facts and truth are irrelevant:

"So far this season in the U.S. (there's been) a mortality rate from flu-like illnesses and pneumonia of around 7 percent," Dr. Charles Bailey, an infectious disease specialist with St. Joseph Hospital in Irvine, California, told Healthline.

What is the death rate of covid-19?

But it doesn't matter. According to the MSM the flu and ever other disease no longer exists. But for covid-19, we are all immortal.

My friends have mostly recovered, yes (recovered at home). I'm hoping my cousin will just go through the mild symptoms for a while, and then it'll go away. I don't want her to have to go to the hospital or anything, and be stuck on a ventilator. That scares me to even think about.

I'm really sorry to hear that. I've seen a lot of stories of health personnel getting infected and dying, and some because they aren't getting adequate PPE to protect themselves while they are treating patients. I have the utmost respect for all of those in the hospitals working their asses off to fight this thing.
