Military trucks carried the bodies of those killed by the CCP virus out of an Italian town where the crematorium has been overwhelmed, as the national death toll soared to 475 in one day.

Bergamo, a wealthy town just 30 miles from the capital Milan, lies in the northeastern Lombardy region, which has been hardest hit by the pandemic with 300 deaths in one day.
