Disturbing video shows dead bodies loaded onto truck outside NYC hospitals

The coronavirus pandemic has slammed New York City so hard that health care workers are using forklifts to load dead bodies into refrigerated trucks, according to a viral video.

The 5-minute and 32-second clip posted to YouTube shows medical officials helping to load the corpses in body bags into the mobile morgue outside Brooklyn Hospital Center in Fort Greene, according to a man shooting the clip who does not identify himself.

“This is for real. This is Brooklyn,” a man filming the terrifying event can be heard saying in the video.

“They putting the bodies in the 18-wheeler … this is no joke … this is Brooklyn Hospital,” the man says as he begs for people to “stay inside” as the deadly virus continues to pummel the city.

The trembling man continues, “This may make you want to take this serious.”

I sincerely doubt fatalities would be loaded onto a truck on the main street in broad daylight...come on people...

Precisely. There are loading docks for such a purpose, assuming they'd even need them. Unless these bodies belong to street people, I would imagine a commercial mortician is coming for the dead bodies and doing standard removal procedures.

Someone is trying to stir the pot.

Staged.
It’s likely real, but intentionally and unnecessarily done in public.

You can tell the truth and still be lying.

Hey, there’s something you don’t see every day, a dead body being wheeled out of a hospital.

Wait a minute...

Two years ago one of my neighbors died at home, and the funeral home sent two slightly built young women to retrieve his remains.

Watching THAT body get taken out and loaded was some combination of laughable and painful.

Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a running bet
Get the widow on the set!
We need dirty laundry

“Anyone here know someone who died of COVID19?”

I do know somebody that knows somebody that knows somebody that did, if that counts.

There is accepted guidelines on how to handle the remains.

Does everyone have the same 10 year camera that is grainy?

It’s just the flu bro...

SOYLENT GREEN !!!!

This is weak. Where are pictures of the overflowing ER’s? Lines down the block. People dumping off bodies of people from their homes. Sick people pounding on clinic doors. Bodies lined up on curbs to be picked up. Little children crying as they die…

[lepton]

exactly. Anyone here know someone who died of COVID19?

Last week. Two-ish. One distantly. The other a co-worker’s son.

Is this the video that CBS used that’s really from Italy?

[lepton]

This appears to be the same hospital that Todd Starnes filmed as having almost no activity and no one waiting in line for COVID testing.
The video tended to temper public belief that NYC and Brooklyn were in a war like atmosphere.
I think it is entirely possible that this is the cynical administrator response to this video. Creating a very macabre spectacle with a body.

No idea. It could also just be a different side of the building. They’ve implemented separate entrances for respiratory and non-respiratory patients.

We’ll have to see.

That said, I’m not surprised a multiple bodies being transported at the same time, even in normal conditions.

[lepton]

148 people per day die in NYC average, of all causes.
About 90 died of covid related yesterday?
Can’t see how that would overwhelm a system of transporting the bodies.

---

A near-doubling, with even more-stringent handling requirements? That could very well with the equivalent of just-in-time services.

[alabama_heart]

Exactly. I believe most hospitals have an area that is not visible to the public where bodies are taken away by a funeral home.

[lepton]

Maybe maybe not but if these were bodies there is absolutely no way a guy with a phone taking vids would be allowed so close that he can touch the truck and go eye to eye with one of the workers. No way in hell he’s able to do that.

OTOH, it’s NYC. There’s a lot of bizarre stuff that goes on, filtered out by an SEP field. I’ve seen a guy moving down the street walking an I-beam and everyone just minimally parts around him and keeps going.

The media/social media’s panic porn is highly addictive. Until that addiction is broken, people who otherwise enjoy life and liberty will continue to acquiesce to the dictates of the state’s petty tyrants.
