Up to 60 bodies found in U-Haul trucks outside NYC funeral home
2020-04-30
[FoxNews] A funeral home in New York City overwhelmed by the coronavirus pandemic resorted to storing dozens of bodies in unrefrigerated rented U-Haul trucks outside, police said Wednesday.

The NYPD was called to the neighborhood after a passerby complained about the smell outside the Andrew T. Cleckley Funeral Home in the Flatlands neighborhood of Brooklyn.

Police found the home had rented four trucks which were holding about 50 corpses. Some bodies were also found lying on the facility’s floor, according to the New York Post, citing law enforcement sources.

No criminal charges were brought, according to an official speaking to the Associated Press, but the funeral home was cited for failing to control the odors.

People in protective gear could later be seen transferring bodies into a larger, refrigerated truck after the funeral home was able to obtain one.

Funeral homes have been overwhelmed by the death toll in New York City.

In the city alone, there have been more than 165,000 positive coronavirus cases, with almost 13,000 deaths. Statewide, New York has seen 300,000 cases and 18,000 deaths.

#13  Or sent those Wuhan Flu patients to the medical ship.

Hey though, the butthole lickers had ample warning.

Cuomo just did some PR stunt featuring a wall of masks or something. Its actually more cringe worthy than Obama's Chair in the Weeds portrait.

#9  The order that Nursing homes must take back residences that have been hospitalized for the Wuhan Virus, when we know they had issues with the virus returning (either because of faulty diagnostic equipment or that it hibernates) is why the nursing homes in NY were epicenters.

Add to that the shuttling back and forth on a Subway system that wasn't closed, only cleaned as of yesterday, and half were shut down to bring everyone into closer proximity on fewer cars.

Those two political decisions alone explain the death toll in NY. Encouraging folks to go out on Chinese New Year and pretending NY strong somehow might discourage the virus are also factors.

Notice we aren't hearing a lot of Cuomo for President or Vice President talk these days. Others have noticed as well.

#6  There's no plausible explanation for NYC's absurd number of deaths, totally out of line with every other US municipality or county, except for official incompetence.

When the smoke clears a year or two from now, DeBlasio's going to be indicted.

Plenty of civil suits too.

#4  Non-essential business. A local funeral parlor has a sign up saying that. F'ing (Soviet) central managed economy is never a good idea.
