With the dramatic increase in Corona casualties in the United States, the New York Medical Inspectorate announced that hundreds of Corona victims in the city are still being held in refrigerated trucks.
As the number of coronavirus deaths in the United States increases, the US Medical Inspection Agency reports that the corpses of coronation victims in New York City are still stored in refrigerated trucks that were used as temporary cold storage facilities a year ago at the height of the coronavirus outbreak.
According to CNN, temporary morgues at the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal currently hold 750 bodies, not all of the Covid-19 victims, and Corona’s long-term remains in the morgue are reminiscent of the masses of the victims of the corona are in the United States, which last spring put pressure on New York City hospitals, morgues and burial houses in the city.
According to the report, in early April 2020, more than 800 corona victims were reported in New York City in a single day, and in the first week of April, an average of 566 people were killed in New York City each day.
Mark Desire, a spokesman for the New York Medical Examiner’s Office, said: “At the height of the (Corona) epidemic, long-term storage (in temporary cold storage) was established to ensure that families could properly bury their loved ones.”
According to CNN, in late March 2020, refrigerated trucks acted as temporary cold storage facilities in front of New York City hospitals due to the countless increase in corona casualties in New York, which was then the epicenter of the Covid-19 epidemic.
The New York Medical Inspectorate has purchased more refrigerated trucks following the increase in New York corona casualties, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency last year provided 80 refrigerated trucks to New York City as temporary refrigerators.
The latest statistics from Johns Hopkins University show that at least 32,649,677 Americans have been infected with the Corona virus so far, of which 580,870 have died.
The rise in the number of corona in the United States comes at a time when, as the BBC reports, about 56 percent of the adult population, or about 147 million Americans, have received the first dose of the corona vaccine.
President Joe Biden recently promised that in two months, at least 70 percent of the adult population in the United States would have received one dose of the vaccine and that about 160 million Americans would have been fully vaccinated.
