Unclaimed bodies have been buried in "mass graves" in NY for many years. It's just it didn't occur to anyone to film this from a drone before to drive clicks and outrage.

The real scandal is that NY, NJ, CT, MA and a few other states allowed C19 to spread in elderly care facilities and nursing homes. NY and NJ inexplicably _sent COVID patients_ there. As of Jun 2nd, nursing homes are responsible for 40% of all US COVID deaths: https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2020/06/nursing-.... If heads don't roll for this, I don't know if we have justice in this country.

This article [0] says over 4,500 covid-19 patients were sent to nursing homes in NY yet Cuomo pretty much has dodged liability for it, he is still pretty much is a press darling.

The death rate per million in NY and NJ is almost _three times_ that of Sweden.
