Refrigerated trucks requested in Arizona, Texas as morgues reach capacity amid COVID-19 surge

You mean sharing links with sensational headlines that perform well on forums like GLP?

I care about you all, and I like trolling the shit out of some of you.

Because it's fun?

I am so sorry this happened to you.

I will add your name to the list and say a prayer, light a candle...

Some Arizona and Texas counties are running out of space in their morgues and have put out calls for refrigerated trucks in which to store bodies and help take some pressure off of local medical examiners’ offices.

A long-expected upturn in U.S. COVID-19 deaths across the U.S. has begun, driven by fatalities in states in the South and West.

The number of deaths per day from the virus had been falling for months, and even remained down as states like Florida and Texas saw explosions in cases and hospitalizations — and reported daily U.S. infections broke records several times in recent days.

Scientists warned it wouldn’t last. A coronavirus death, when it occurs, typically comes several weeks after a person is first infected. And experts predicted states that saw increases in cases and hospitalizations would, at some point, see deaths rise too. Now that’s happening.

Deaths from Covid are on a downward trend...have been for weeks now. So the morgues have either been shut down for Covid, waiting to hold funeral services for the relatives, or we have people dying in numbers over something else.

My guess is the Morgues have been "holding" bodies and now they are overflowing. Bodies that should have been buried or cremated over a month ago.

The 3 major hospital systems in Arizona have publicly refuted Phoenix Mayor Gallego's claims that they need refrigerated trucks because the morgues are full. Phoenix and the rest of the state had been asked to implement their emergency plans to prepare for possible COVID-19 overloads. A spokesman for one hospital system Abrazo said it was was to proactively make sure there would be enough morgue space. So the hospital system ordered refrigerated storage weeks ago, but they have yet to be deployed because "At this point, it is not needed." The County Medical Examiner stressed that most deaths from COVID-19 do not end up in the county morgue.

Wait a minute - - I thought that all bodies who died of CV19 must be cremated.

Therefore why the need for trucks?

I call BS on this. More fear porn brought to you by the Media.

Yeah... right...



By the way there's about a 95% chance you're really a common ISFJ and not a INFJ. Also ENTJ is now the rarest MBTI type and not INFJ so you might want to change your signature if you still want to pretend that you're special. Most Internet INFJ's are either larping and/or took the 16 personalities test which is garbage because it doesn't even test for the functions that MBTI is based on. Most "intuitives" from 16 personalities are really mistpyed sensors but no one wants to be a sensor because descriptions make them sound boring. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Wasn't this proven false a couple of days ago?

FAKE NEWS

THEY HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM

Here is the article....the Phoenix Mayor lied:

This is a total lie initiated by our Phoenix lib mayor Too Late Kate who has her own agenda and mentioned that they "may" need the trucks and the media ran with it. All hospitals have refigerated trucks outside just in case, they always have. They've yet to be in a position to ever use them. 95% ICU capacity is ideal for a FOR PROFIT business such as a hospital. ICUs are now filled due to electives and folks who didn't dare go to the hospital in Feb-May so their symptoms exacerbated. Basically, it's business as usual right now with the exception of a handful of COVID patients who likely didn't even go in for that purpose but were part of the 100% false positive testing scam.

I am in north central az and nothing is going on here but panicked libs. I know no one yet that has anything and that is a very wide age span

They can't force people to be cremated. Not yet anyway.
