New York City is still using refrigerated trucks to store bodies of coronavirus victims, more than a year after they were first set up as temporary morgues as deaths surged at at the height of the pandemic. The city's medical examiner's office said Friday that 750 bodies are being kept in long-term storage in refrigerated trailers at a Brooklyn pier while family members sort out plans for their final resting places. Dina Maniotis, a deputy commissioner with the Office of Chief Medical Examiner, told a city council committee on Wednesday that many of the bodies held at the 39th Street

Comments:

Seems grisly. If next-of-kin have not claimed the body by now I think they deserve a final resting place.

According to media reports Biden gave each family who had members supposedly pass away from COVID $9,000.00 for funeral expenses, so how can there be families in New York who don’t have the money to put their deceased relatives into their final resting place?

Maybe they’re storing the bodies to ship to nursing homes when needed. It’s a type of bio-warfare. In olden times, an army besieging a medieval city would catapult diseased corpses past the walls to infect the people inside. Just a thought. I thought every city has a pauper’s cemetery for the indigent. So, why weren’t those bodies buried?

Living human beings are cannon fodder to the Left. Unborn children are cannon fodder to the Left. Disabled people are cannon fodder to the Left. Elderly people are cannon fodder to the Left. One thing is certain. New York City will ask each of these dead people in refrigerators if they are registered to vote.

The funeral money is dispersed by FEMA and one has to pay for the funeral up front and then get reimbursed after providing proof of payment. My sister lost a son to a variety of problems and among them was Covid so I checked into it for her.

I got into a fb argument with Karen yesterday who was adamant these reefer trailers would be used again for transporting food. That’s just not allowed. It’s against all known rules and regulations as well as human decency. I pray I’m right. Also you can’t run these things indefinitely. They’re engines and engines break down. A belt, low oil or antifreeze, any number of things can go wrong. A reefer tank holds 50 gal of fuel and depending on temp, must be filled up every 2-3 days. This is just crazy. But it’s New York soooo

The most important question is historically how many bodies does NYC store during normal times. NYC is a big place and I suspect they have an ongoing problem with unclaimed remains.

The Memo: Outrage rises
among liberals over Israel
11 replies
Posted by NorthernDog 5/10/2021 8:07:06 PM Post Reply
Outrage is rising among Democrats over events in the Middle East — and it’s aimed at Israel. A previous generation of Democrats leaned heavily into the idea of Israel as a stalwart U.S. ally. U.S. criticism of Israel was muted or nonexistent, and Washington often acted as a bulwark against international opprobrium. But the progressives on the rise today are more likely to draw parallels between the plight of the Palestinians and the injustices faced by Black Americans, or to compare Israel’s posture with apartheid-era South Africa.“I know what it’s like to be brutalized for simply advocating for my own

On March 21, 1950, an Illinois congressman named Ralph Church suddenly slumped in his seat while testifying before a House committee. His colleagues rushed to administer aid, but he was pronounced dead of a heart attack at 66. He was neither the first nor the last member of Congress to die in office. ''You look back in history, nearly 1 in 10 members of Congress have,” said Jane L. Campbell, president of the U.S. Capitol Historical Society.
