    The story of AIDS victims being buried on Hart Island NY is a new one to me. The NY Times has an article on whole shameful issue (shameful, because AIDS victims were being treated as highly contagious long after it was known they weren't): https://archive.is/20220410234735/https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/03/nyregion/hart-island-aids-new-york.html

    You know what was being done in california right? Until around 2010, many cities in Cali had laws on the books which stated in part, that if a person died from AIDS, due to the blood borne nature of it, embalming was forbidden, and cremation of the remains was required, as the remains were to be treated as a biological hazard.

    Affectionately giggling at the - "Left in ruins as a war memorial, this town remains frozen in time." with one of the answers being Coventry UK! 😄

    Don’t let the UNESCO World Heritage status fool you. Hashima island has a dark history including Chinese POWs being used as forced labour under brutal conditions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashima_Island
