    Spanish Military Finds Dead Bodies And Seniors 'Completely Abandoned' In Care Homes

    The Spanish military has found older residents of some care homes "completely abandoned" and even "dead in their beds," Defense Minister Margarita Robles said in a television interview on Monday.

    They were found as soldiers disinfected and provided emergency health care services this week to residential homes across the country. Robles did not give an exact figure for the number of dead bodies found by Spanish soldiers.

    With more than 39,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 2,800 deaths as of Tuesday, Spain is the second hardest-hit country in Europe.

    On Tuesday, 514 new deaths were registered in a 24-hour period, the worst increase since the outbreak began. Retirement homes have been particularly affected.

    If you believe that this can only happen in Italy and in Spain where so many people die each day that they aren't given funerals and can't even be given proper funerals. The military in Italy run convoys of military vehicles filled with coffins bringing them to a facility that will hold them all because the local morticians are overwhelmed and can't handle them. People aren't receiving funerals in church, at most, they are given graveside ceremonies with family and friends standing apart from each other. Can't happen here you say? Think again.
