Dozens of military vehicles have been pictured carrying coronavirus victims across Italy – with morgues too full to hold corpses.
The trucks were pictured driving through the city of Bergamo in the country’s Lombardy region, one of the worst-hit by the virus.
Jean Pierre Ramponi, the medical director of the Chiari hospital in Brescia – also in Lombardy – said: “We prepared ourselves psychologically by seeing the images of China, but it was unthinkable to imagine such devastation.
"Now out of 450 beds, 220 are occupied by people who contracted COVID-19.
“The situation with us, on the outskirts of Brescia, is dramatic, we don't know where to bring patients, hospitals are doing everything, but beyond a certain number they cannot assist.
“There are lines for hours in front of the hospitals.”
The mayor of Bergamo, Giorgio Gori, said the true number of related deaths could be higher as many people with COVID-19 symptoms had died before being tested.

Ummmm, oops.
Nice going, globalists.
all that can really be done is to compare historic death rates over this time period with present death rates.
I don’t think this has ever been the scene during flu season. Am I wrong? I’m not in a panic at all, but this picture is sobering and not “normal,” seasonal flu type stuff.
Hoax~! There’s no proof that photo was even taken in Italy let alone full of bodies. It’s just the flu, bro and only dangerous to those with prior medical conditions and the elderly.
Nothing to worry about.
/a-hole FReepers.
Dont believe this hysterical crap.
sad sight - average age of death : 81
Italy much more elderly population (low birth rate)
then should send the funeral bill to the ChiComs... they’ll probably import more Chinese to replace these dead Italians.
You can panic and go on with the canned mocking all you want.
As much as some of you fools are hoping for in X days, we are not Italy, and we aren’t going to be.

Then there’s all the scheduled surgeries and treatments that had to be cancelled to focus on the virus fight.
Yes. There are apparently about 400 people dying each day from COVID-19 in Italy. But not all in one city. I have no idea why “dozens of army trucks” would be needed in one city to transport the dead.
Note that in NYC, on a daily basis, more than 400 people die. Not from COVID-19, but from stuff. But NYC does not deed convoys of army trucks to transport the dead. The nation of Italy is pretty big. 400 deaths in the nation? Why convoys of army trucks? It doesn’t make sense.
If I don’t see the bodies I’m not believing this.
Because people who understand what they are seeing understand that his is serious and has to be dealt with now.
Very few single family homes in Europe. Most live in close quarters with other families multi story apartments so there will be a higher death rate. SK is the same;
Suburbia in the US will not be hit as hard as NYC apartment dwellers.
Yep. Fake news I'm guessing.
Who is panicking? I simply mocked the A-holes (A-HOLES) who dismiss this entire thing as nothing more than another round of bird flu and display their Nazi like indifference to the weak and elderly.
This is bulls*it. They’re liars.
Huh. I wasn’t aware Italy had a full dozen military trucks.

It could be- but news media just never reported on it- or only did so in small publications- they didn’t want to make obama and clinton and carter look bad- We’ve had 10’s of 1000’s of deaths with past flues- surely some of them were in clusters and happened quickly- wiping out elderly like in nursing homes or whatever- I’m sure some places had multiple deaths all at once- although- thinking about it- the flu seasons were much longer than this virus has been around in this outbreak- the flu season went several months- so maybe it got spread out a lot-
Sobering
