According to a recent statement, crematoria in Wuhan, China, are working at an alarming rate to burn the bodies of those who have died from the current outbreak of coronavirus. According to reports, workers work at full speed and without interruption, as they constantly burn the bodies of the victims sent to them. Since January 28, claims that are spreading indicate that they have been burning 100 bodies a day. “We need to collect the bodies when they call us. Every day, we need at least 100 body bags. We can’t stop because we can’t leave the bodies outside for a long time,” said Mr. Yun, one of the crematorium workers, in a recent interview In addition, he also confirmed that crematorium workers work with makeshift masks and protective suits to handle the bodies and that everyone is exhausted. Last week, Wuhan officials have been accused of burning the bodies of the deceased in secret, and Mr. Yun has confirmed that it is true, since, according to reports, China is taking “draconian measures” to help Treat the current outbreak. “90 percent of our employees are working 24/7 … we couldn’t go back home. All of Wuhan’s cremation chambers work 24 hours. We really need more workforce,” Yun added. Last week, social networks are flooded with dramatic videos of Wuhan that show that medical officials and police officers allegedly chase people infected on the streets and force them to go to ambulances that go to hospitals. . Other videos, on the other hand, show cement trucks that supposedly spray what looks like disinfectant on deserted streets. To help treat the outbreak, Wuhan has also built 11 temporary hospitals in its sports halls and exhibition centers. According to the latest statistics, the virus has already killed some 500 people, although the Western media are challenging the number, and some believe the death toll is being minimized.
With reports around 20,000 cases worldwide, experts said they still lack definitive data to measure how lethal the virus is, although scientists are now working on a vaccine that can help.
