Mass Covid Burial Sparks Outrage

The coronavirus sometimes leaves little dignity in death. In Karnataka, eight people were thrown into a single grave after they succumbed to Covid-19.

    I cannot judge here. This pandemic has altered the way we live and in particular the way we die. In this case perhaps there was no space left to properly prepare the bodies for burial. Perhaps the families were unable to afford the cost. Perhaps....those who usually prepare the dead for burial are afraid the bodies are still contaminated and pose too great a risk to them...as well as the family they go home to. The rules have changed. We are now in survival mode. Who knows for how long?

    They could still do it with respect but life is cheap, see how they treat the living.

    Yes its seems harsh. It is very easy to criticize. Some people were denied entry to graveyard. Beat up the doctors carrying their colleagues dead body. You never reported that? These people are doing whatever they can. You expecting an elaborate ceremony?

    The dead has to be shown respect . The workers were wearing PPE no need to just throw the bodies like that. It could in turn he them, you or I. As well

    Be thankful to them for disposing the dead bodies risking their life, when the respective family didn't come up to claim the body...they ain't have time like you all to simply sit at home and criticized and comment here...just remember they even dont have time to take a glass of water or pee...

    Seriously some people are insensitive, after following proper standard operating procedures, like sanitizing the body and wrapping in the body bag no way the body is a threat to them. Plus they have been provided proper set of PPE. They could have simply refused instead of disrespecting.
