Those are cardboard caskets arranged between chairs, row on row, because there are so many dead. Along with the families touching hands from each side of a window, that's an image I will never be able to forget. Dismissing all the pain and death with, "it is what it is" is pathological. This ad does a very good job of making that plain.
