It's a potter's field on Hart Island that has been used for that purpose for decades. It's certainly not a public park as he implied. It's not even open nor accessible to the public. And the comments about temporary interment are also incorrect. This is a standard burial practice and location that has been utilized for decades. The difference is that they aren't waiting until 30 days. They're now waiting 14. And he finishes his dramatic (dishonest) tweet with how this will be tough for New Yorkers to take. Why? They've been doing this as standard practice for decades. Now it's suddenly tough to take that people are being buried at a cemetery? Ridiculous. And the implication was clearly that this was a park like Central Park, which is why the person who posted this used "Central Park" in his subject line above.
