5 Unsettling Pandemic Things : 100K Died Alone, Pauper's Graves, Ice Rink Morgues, Unmasked Idiots, Dumb Protesters

 Burying unclaimed bodies in a NY mass grave on April 2. Cr: Hart Island project 
There have been a lot of unsettling things about this COVID19 pandemic. There are 5 things that have really troubled me during this worldwide crisis. 
 1) The over 100,000 plus people dying alone in hospitals around the U.S., 

2) The visual I will never be able to purge of NY public workers digging a "Pauper's grave" on Hart Island for over 200 unclaimed bodies of COVID19 victims in NY hospitals.

3)   Locally, in Maryland, there's another: A local ice rink is being used to store dead bodies of COVID19 victims because the morgues are full.

4) Inconsiderate, ignorant, foolish people refusing to wear masks (not only to protect themselves, but others who may be elderly or have compromised immune systems). That's more than unsettling it really angers me that people can be so selfish.

5) The armed, screaming selfish, (dumb anti-science, anti-medicine) protesters who don't wear masks and are threatening governors and others with guns, for keeping non-essential businesses closed.  What's even more appalling is that these groups around the U.S. are being incited by you-know-who in the WH. Disturbing. 
     So, when you get irritated at staying home think about the Giant paupers' grave, the ice rinks housing COVID19 corpses because morgues are full, and the idiotic people "Protesting" how to curb the virus and keep everyone healthy and safe. 
  Here are some of the stories >>>



Idiots- white, uneducated, conservatives, protesting keeping people safe
1) Anti-lockdown protesters gather at the Michigan statehouse
Many speakers, some heavily armed, urged citizens to ignore orders from the governor
DETROIT – Hundreds of protesters, some armed, gathered at Michigan’s state Capitol in Lansing on Thursday objecting to Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s request to extend emergency powers to combat COVID-19, an appeal Republican lawmakers ignored.
The protest appeared to be the largest in the state since April 15, when supporters of President Donald Trump organized thousands of people for “Operation Gridlock,” jamming the streets of Lansing with their cars to call out what they said was the overreach of Whitmer’s strict stay-at-home order.


2) Laurel ice rink is serving as temporary morgue amid coronavirus pandemic, Maryland Gov. Hogan says
Annapolis Capital Gazette, May 7, 2020- Link
The state of Maryland is using an ice rink in Laurel as a temporary morgue to handle a sharp increase in deaths from the coronavirus pandemic, Gov. Larry Hogan said Wednesday.

The Republican governor said he did not know how long the Gardens Ice House, a privately owned facility on Old Gunpowder Road, would be needed to store bodies.

“Hopefully it won’t be for very long,” Hogan said in a news conference in Annapolis. "I was hoping we wouldn’t need it at all, but it is being utilized. I don’t know how long the lease is going to be needed.”

A spokesman for the ice rink could not be reached for comment, and the Prince George’s County Health Department referred questions to state officials.
