Why don't you pay attention to what is happening now in India? There are so many deaths now that there is not enough wood for pyres. And they thought they were over the virus. The same can happen in the USA.
"Across India, funeral pyres light up the night sky. Playgrounds and parking lots in the capital, New Delhi, have been converted into mass cremation grounds.
"The situation is very grim here. We are short of everything," said Dr. Aniket Sirohi, a municipal health official in south Delhi. "I want to say to the world, 'Help us, in any way you can.' "
Scientists, funeral directors and survivors say the real numbers of infections and deaths in India may be many times more than the reported figures.
