Coronavirus Bullshit Story of The Week

Ed.'s note: Here's a good one. This video is being gaffed off as video taken from a drone of "mass burial of coronavirus victims being buried on Hart Island in New York" because the morgues are overflowing with the dead. What you are actually seeing are the remains of dead after human bones started appearing along the shorelines because of erosion taking place on the island. There are an estimated one million human remains buried on the island throughout the past 200 years. All the way from the indigent to dead prisoners to victims of tuberculosis have been buried on Hart Island. What you see are likely inmates from Rikers Island paid $6 an hour to collect the remains and rebury them in these trenches. If you see this clip being posted to social media platforms, call people out on this bullshit. This clip was put out by the UK-based Telegraph as well as many other major media networks so you know right away it is bullshit. The Hill should be ashamed of themselves for putting this up as a news story on coronavirus without confirming.
