It has probably happened before, but I don't remember mass burials ever happening in the U.S.

Was a Democrat until gun control became a knee jerk, then a Republican until the crazies took over, nothing left.

New York's Hart Island was already the world's largest mass grave site, used for burying unidentified and unclaimed bodies for over 150 years.

31 cases of coronavirus have been identified on Big Island since this all started, 26 are now classified as recovered. Yup, pretty good.

Yes, it is great for us. And just imagine all the hundreds, or even thousands, of people on the BI who have had the illness but were asymptomatic or had mild symptoms and were never tested. Hopefully, they're all immune now, at least until the immunizations come out.
