Despite Deaths and Hospitalizations DOWN, NYC Official Says City Is Preparing To Dig ‘Trenches’ In A Park To Bury The Dead

NYC deaths are down, hospital discharges are up, but the Democrats are fearmongering and inciting to panic in order to impose their leftist authoritarian. Beware.

1/ If the trends of the last few days weren't clear enough, @NYGovCuomo's press conference today leaves no room for doubt: new hospitalizations in New York, the center of the epidemic, fell to 358 – a 75% drop in four days.

Great. Obviously. But.

NYC Official Says City Is Preparing To Dig ‘Trenches’ In A Park To Bury The Dead

By Jennie Taer, Sara Carter, April 6, 2020:

The Chair of the New York City Council’s health committee Mark D. Levine said that the city is overwhelmed by the number of deaths from the coronavirus and that they’re preparing to dig “trenches” in a city park to bury the dead.

Read his Twitter thread below:

NYC’s “city morgue” is the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME), which luckily is the best in the world.

But they are now dealing w/ the equivalent of an ongoing 9/11. And so are hospital morgues, funeral homes & cemeteries.

Every part of this system is now backed up. 2/

Grieving families report calling as many as half a dozen funeral homes and finding none that can handle their deceased loved ones.

Cemeteries are not able to handle the number of burial requests and are turning most down. 4/

Early on in this crisis we were able to swab people who died at home, and thus got a coronavirus reading. But those days are long gone. We simply don't have the testing capacity for the large numbers dying at home. 6/

— Mark D. Levine (@MarkLevineNYC) April 6, 2020

And still the number of bodies continues to increase. The freezers at OCME facilities in Manhattan and Brooklyn will soon be full. And then what? 8/

— Mark D. Levine (@MarkLevineNYC) April 6, 2020

The goal is to avoid scenes like those in Italy, where the military was forced to collect bodies from churches and even off the streets.

OCME is going to need much more staff to achieve that goal. 10/

— Mark D. Levine (@MarkLevineNYC) April 6, 2020

As New York City continues to appeal to the nation for help, we need to ask not just for doctors and nurses and respiratory therapists. We also need mortuary affairs staff. This is tough to talk about and maybe tough to ask for. But we have no choice. The stakes are too high. 12/

— Mark D. Levine (@MarkLevineNYC) April 6, 2020

To recap: Nothing matters more in this crisis than saving the living. But we need to face the gruesome reality that we need more resources to manage our dead as well. Or the pain of this crisis will be compounded almost beyond comprehension. 13/13

— Mark D. Levine (@MarkLevineNYC) April 6, 2020

As of Monday, the virus has killed 4,159 in the state. The number of daily deaths fell for the first time Sunday when 594 deaths were reported, compared to the previous day where there were 630 deaths.

“You could argue that you’re seeing a slight plateauing in the data, which obviously would be good news,” NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Sunday, calling the promising data a potential “blip.”

The number of coronavirus patients in the hospitals and ICUs continues to climb. Moreover, the number of deaths in the city, alone, increased to 351 on Sunday.

This is what I don’t understand. The “numbahs” say things are dwindling down, but we still get these reports of overwhelmed hospitals, and mortuaries. What is going on?

Isn’t this the same Mark D. Levine that urged NYNY residents to ride the subway, go to restaurants, and party down … like five or six weeks ago?

There is no reason for that. This is goulish propaganda where they hope Trump will somehow be blamed for the deaths. Imagine the expense and creepiness of burying and reburying the dead somewhere else. Other CEMETARIES could be used for this.

If there was a need for this, Potter’s Field, on Hart Island could be used.

Christian Trivia about New York’s Potter’s Field –

A potter’s field, paupers’ grave or common grave is a place for the burial of unknown, unclaimed or indigent people.

The term “potter’s field” comes from Matthew 27:3-27:8 in the New Testament of the Bible, in which Jewish priests take 30 pieces of silver returned by a remorseful Judas:

Then Judas, who betrayed him, seeing that he was condemned, repenting himself, brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and ancients, saying: “I have sinned in betraying innocent blood.” But they said: “What is that to us? Look thou to it.” And casting down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed, and went and hanged himself with a halter. But the chief priests, having taken the pieces of silver, said: “It is not lawful to put them into the corbona, because it is the price of blood.” And after they had consulted together, they bought with them the potter’s field, to be a burying place for strangers. For this the field was called Haceldama, that is, the field of blood, even to this day.[2]
