People dying on streets from Corona in Italy and no one to pick their bodies ?
A photo is viral showing many people lying on the ground claimed as dead bodies of CoronaVirus victims in Italy which no one is ready to pick up.
“जिनको कोरोना मज़ाक लगता है वो लोग गौर करें। यह इटली शहर है।जहां लाश उठाने को कोई तैयार नही।”
Translation – “The one who think of Corona as a joke must see. This is an Italy City where no one is ready to pick up the corpses”
