| As in 2019-Wuhan crematoriums running 24/7 |
Army is obviously so happy that they could kill the
recalcitrant people of Burma (who would not surrender to their dictatorship) without
wasting expensive bullets and endangering the lives of rapidly dwindling
security forces. Finally the dreaded COVID is doing their jobs and making their
lives much easier.
According to Dr. Aung Myint Maw the Deputy Head of Rangoon City’s Health and Sanitation Department the normal cremation load at all Rangoon cemeteries was between 100 and 150 every day and the crematoriums were running only one 8-hour-shift.
He added that at the beginning of July two shifts were needed to burn the rapidly increasing number of COVID deaths, and now they have been running three shifts 24/7 since mid-July, and on July-18 there were 1234 corpses requiring cremation. Private charity
groups have been extremely busy providing free funeral services since most
families of poor COVID deaths could not afford a private funeral service and also
a coffin. The ambulance vans have been bringing in sometimes up to five corpses
bundled in dirty and contaminated bedsheets to the cemetery crematoriums in
Rangoon.
Many deaths were
COVID fatalities but most were the result of oxygen shortage in the city. Since
the public hospitals and military hospitals have been refusing to admit COVID
patients many ended back at their homes and they had been forced to rely on
their own oxygen supply.
Without
technical knowledge to properly use oxygen many COVID patients were killed by either
high pressure oxygen or CNG poisoning since many families are refilling their
old CNG (Compressed-natural-gas) cylinders with oxygen available at the privately-run
oxygen plants. Bluish-colored corpses from CNG poisoning were clearly visible
among the piles of COVID deaths just outside the crematoriums.

Reports are
coming from Myanmar that the situation in the country is dire as a result of
the Delta variant of COVID-19. To make matters worse the military is hoarding
the oxygen for themselves and their lackeys. People waiting outside oxygen
supply stores have been shot at by Myanmar Army troops.
Basic medical care for COVID positive patients have been turned into illegal acts by the Myanmar military. COVID is also ripping through Myanmar's crowded prison system which is holding thousands of political prisoners since the military coup. Meanwhile Myanmar military continues to purchase military hardware from Russia, China and India worth hundreds of millions of dollars. The country is at war with itself.
