From the story: Hospital morgues there are inundated. Bergamo’s mayor, Giorgio Gori,
issued an ordinance that closed the local cemetery this week for the first time
since World War II, though he guaranteed that its mortuary would still accept
coffins. Many of them had been sent to the Church of
All Saints in Bergamo, located in the closed cemetery, where scores of waxed
wooden coffins form a macabre line for cremations. “Unfortunately, we don’t
know where to put them,” said Brother Marco Bergamelli, one of the priests at
the church. He said that with hundreds dying each day, and with each body
taking more than an hour to cremate, there was an awful backlog. “It takes time
and the dead are many”(NY Times).

Meanwhile, in Mexico,
the government is still in denial (The Federalist).
