Funerals in New York City have also become very problematical - with mourners insisting on turning up to pay their respects.
Orthodox Jews, particularly, have been seen to flaunt lockdown regulations - as they honour deceased rabbis etc. - almost on a daily basis.
Police have been busy at Jewish funerals, often attempting to disperse them - adding to the growing social unrest in NYC.
Brooklyn has the major problem with funerals. And - on at least one occasion - water cannon was used control large numbers of attendees.
Local authorities are said to be considering banning all funerals - held in public.

Thanks Barney but the majority of us can read the news on our own...

In New York City - there have been 18,000 coronovirus deaths, since March.
Cremations and burials are now totally backed up - with funeral homes and cemeteries unable to cope.
Refrigerated vans are being used to store bodies - and, in Brooklyn over the past couple of days - ordinary trucks were utilised.
With many residents complaining of odours from the trucks - and some undertaker businesses cited.
Central Park is now partially tented to cater for coronavirus victims - and NYC, being so small in acreage terms, is coming under severe pressure.
Federal and military assistance is becoming very likely - as NYC's high population density has helped the coronavirus to spread quickly, around the five boroughs.
