The hashtag #TrumpBurialPits was trending Friday morning on Twitter after New York City began burying coronavirus victims in a mass grave on Hart Island.

NYC Mayor confirms they are now burying many #Covid19 corpses in mass graves on Hart Island. Today alone there were at least 40 coffins. The bodies are wrapped in body bags and placed in pine boxes, with their names scrawled on the top. Source: NY Post #TrumpBurialPits pic.twitter.com/2yb2pVVt3U

Syracuse.com reports: Aerial photos taken Thursday by the Associated Press shows workers wearing hazmat suits or other personal protective equipment (PPE) while digging graves on NYC’s Hart Island, the largest public burial ground in the U.S. with more than 1 million people laid to rest over 131 acres. About 40 wooden caskets were seen lined up for burial on Thursday, and two new trenches have been dug in recent days.

This is unbelievably sad. It’s 2020 and this is happening in the United States of America. As Americans are dying of COVID-19 and being buried in mass graves, trump is arguing w/reporters & bragging about TV ratings. This is donald trump’s legacy. #trumpBurialPits https://t.co/upqrZ6sa4r

I added a blue filter to the photos of #Covid19 corpses being buried in mass graves yesterday on Hart Island in New York – and placed them next to a screenshot from the movie Contagion. They are eerily similar. #TrumpBurialPits pic.twitter.com/T3AKmbJXRO

Hart Island – I think the message of the 2020 election is just "It doesn't have to be this way." All the chaos and horrors of the Trump administration don't have to go on. #trumpburialpits #covidiot #TrumpsFault pic.twitter.com/bYjYCLKSqt
