About 25 People A Day Buried on Hart Island New York Since Corona Outbreak

About 25 people a day buried on Hart Island, which has served as a poor man's grave since the nineteenth century.   In this way, the city tries to make the situation feasible for morgues. They must store more bodies than is achievable since the outbreak of the corona crisis. Those who have no relatives who come to claim them within fourteen days will rest on Hart Island. At least temporarily, because the victims can still be excavated. Mayor Bill DeBlasio said earlier this week that it was possible that temporary funerals would take place on Hart Island. Two new trenches have already been dug at the poor old grave, located in The Bronx district, "just in case they are needed," said Jason Kersten, spokesman for the department in charge. On Thursday morning a refrigerator truck wi...

EU Demands Action Against Guilty Poison Gas Attack in Syria

Those responsible for the poison gas attacks in Syria in 2017 should be held accountable. "Impunity for these terrible acts will not be tolerated," said EU foreign chief Josep Borrell on behalf of the 27 Member States.   Researchers from the International Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) in The Hague found that the Syrian Air Force was behind multiple poison gas attacks in the country, killing tens of people. In a report on Wednesday, the OPCW first held the Syrian government responsible for three attacks in March 2017, using chlorine gas and the nerve agent sarin. The European Union takes over the conclusions and in a statement strongly condemns the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian Air Force. Accountability is essential to prevent the re-use of ch...

New York State extends the lockdown by two weeks until April 29. The maximum fines for violations of the measures promulgated to stem the spread of the coronavirus will be doubled.   According to Governor Andrew Cuomo, it will be up to to $ 1,000.

The test is performed as a glucose (blood sugar) test, but it is intended for professionals only.
