According to Channel 13 News, Israel's Chevra Kadisha, the Burial Society, has acquired and set up in Haifa a refrigerator container that will be used to store hundreds of bodies of CoronaVirus victims expected in the coming weeks due to the expected increased mortality in the immediate future.
This container will give them the ability to handle a large number of bodies in a short period of time. For now, the report says, there is only the one up north, but they are prepared, if necessary, God forbid, to quickly set up more containers like this in other parts of the country.
What a morbid report.
I hope it isn't too close to the port. It looks like any other shipping container. Hopefully a cargo ship doesn't load it aboard accidentally.
But seriously, that is really morbid and brings home the reports. I hope they are only exaggerating to scare people into following the rules of the lockdown and that this really won't be necessary, but it doesn't look good.

The total number of deaths from Covid in New York City is about 23500 for a population of 8.5 million. Israel the total deaths from Covid is less than 1500 so far (population 9 million or so). The annual death rate in a population is about 7 per 1000 people. So Israel a young country the death rate maybe 6 per thousand or about or about 48000 a year or about 4 thousand a month. If the death rate went to 5,000 per month the Chevra Kadisha could not handle that ? It is panic mongering pure and simple and possibly an excuse for higher budgets.
ReplyDeleteAgree with Thomas. Firstly, why aren't the citizens demanding the use of the Hydroxy Cocktail in the first five days of not feeling well; it works perfectly and in 2 days, the patient (should be at home) is completely cured. It is so obvious they are doing exactly what has been done in the U.S. where there were so many needless deaths in Democratic cities and states. New York is being sued and investigated for these horrific and needless deaths, r'l. Reading this post about storing the bodies is a reminder of exactly what happened in NY. They are copying the same script and using Jewish lives in the Jewish Land as scapegoats. This is beyond a chilul H' = No words. Here is where real protests are needed. May H' have mercy!
