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..
