(More than) two months of lockdown, not one. So ~38000 cremations “normally”.
Spread out to eight funeral homes, you’d expect 4k-5k at each location. (Since
people were allegedly locked into apartments or at least apartment complexes,
apparently they weren’t picking up ashes until now.) So “thousands” at each
location tells us precious nothing.

Article is intentionally misleading, burying the “normal” stats that way.
