I saw on the news where hospitals are using refrigerated tractor trailers to store the bodies because there is no more room in the morgues.

There’s a morgue outside of Bellevue.

this may sound strange, but thank you for posting this, 'cause there are still people that 'aren't getting' it or don't want to get it (aka denial).

just because there are no 'reported' cases in your town or county is completely irrelevant, as people come into your town from other places on a regular basis. just think about grocery shopping. every town in this country does not have a grocery store.

another example, one town that is next to mine does not have a post office. where do you think people in that town go, when they need to ship a package back to qvc?

most people that get tested, do so, close to where they live, not in the town they visited last week.

these are the current choices:

1 - stay in the house and figure it out how to make it work

OR

2- you could wind up in a funeral home or in a refrigerated truck.

some places have stopped in-person funerals. and some funeral homes are refusing to take covid-19 people.

in my state, the police have been breaking up backyard weddings and fining the home owner.

i remember 9/11, there were refrigerated trucks in nyc and some of the boroughs every where. i also remember seeing them lined up, waiting to get closer to ground zero to be loaded. i can't think of a better word then loaded, sorry.
