On the Sunday when this video was made, 98 people in New York died in less than seven hours from complications related to Covid-19, the respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus. And from then on it gets worse. On Monday there were 124 deaths in six hours, one every three minutes. By Tuesday evening, the number of corona deaths in the American metropolis rises to 1096, and the Brooklyn Hospital is just one of several hospitals that have brought refrigerated trucks for corpses.
