With morgues brimming, Texas and Arizona turn to refrigerator trucks:

Officials in Texas and Arizona have requested refrigerated trucks to hold the dead as hospitals and morgues become overwhelmed by victims of the raging COVID-19 pandemic.

"In the hospital, there are only so many places to put bodies," Ken Davis, chief medical officer of Christus Santa Rosa Health System in the San Antonio area, said in a briefing this week. "We're out of space, and our funeral homes are out of space, and we need those beds. So, when someone dies, we need to quickly turn that bed over.

"It's a hard thing to talk about," Davis added. "People's loved ones are dying."

    When the first wave occurred, I personally received a whatsapp pic from friends in Bergamo, depicting military trucks in queue in the street. At the time I had no reasons to not believe the official stories, then it stroke me as strange that they didn't try to be more subtle not to spread panic which could have made some people break the lockdown to escape elsewhere. Then some rumors surface about each truck transporting ONE coffin, and the fact that covid was assigned as cause of death to everybody testing positive, and the fact that procedures for the death of everybody in Italy were altered and family people's voice in the matter revoked and the 160 megaeuro donated by a pennyless Conte government to Gates sponsored research kinda make me think you should investigate this piece of news in depth, too.
