Ananda Mooliya 56, who died April 8, his son Akshay Mooliya, 16, his wife, Rajni Atavar, 50, and eldest son Amith Mooliya, 21. On the day Mooliya died, there were 799 Covid-19 deaths in the state of New York, a one-day high. Among the many ways life has changed is how America's largest city deals with its dead. Though the city doubled to about 2,000 its capacity to store bodies, funeral homes are still turning down cremations because they can't hold onto the bodies. Sherman, the Brooklyn funeral home owner, said protecting clients and workers is a priority -- ensuring distancing and providing sufficient personal protective equipment.
