Holy coprolite!
Are things really getting that bad with COVID-19?
Apparently.
The story under the headline included this video clip:
And then the Post explained:
Disturbing new drone video shows a crew of city inmates in protective gear burying coffins in a mass grave on Hart Island — where the city says it may bury the mounting dead from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The newly released footage, shot Thursday, shows more than a half-dozen white-clad prisoners lower wooden coffins into the ground, then stand by as a bulldozer and backhoe dump mounds of dirt on at least 20 of the boxes, which are lined up at the end of a long trench.But after the blaring headline, a video, and two paragraphs, there was this:
Burials are a common sight on the island, where the city has used inmates to inter the Big Apple’s anonymous and unclaimed dead for 150 years.-RW
"Holy coprolite!" - Drink!
ReplyDeleteWikipedia's article for the island says NYC buries an average of 1500 people there per year in the 21st century thus far. I expect that entry will get edited soon to match up with current narratives.

ReplyDeleteWhen you see weasel words like that in a news article you know for sure you're being been bamboozled.
