For a time in April, at the height of the COVID-19 crisis in New York, the white trucks were visible from the eighth floor windows of the HSS Training Center. The most dominant feature of that spectacular view was not the majestic New York skyline, but instead a line of refrigerator trucks in the vast parking lot across Brooklyn’s 39th Street ... mobile morgues filled with bodies that were piling up at the city’s hospitals, too many to be buried or cremated immediately.
The horror was there for everyone to see —including those who drove to HSS to get ready to play a sport.
