Italy’s fleet of the dead: Military trucks transport bodies of coronavirus victims to be cremated

On the night of Wednesday, March 18, the residents of Bergamo, in northern Italy, witnessed a very sad parade pass before their eyes.

A long line of 15 military trucks carried the coffins of dozens of coronavirus victims out of the city.

The deceased were taken to crematoriums outside the city because the local cemetery became overwhelmed by the virus death toll, according to Agencia EFE.
