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."

  No, but you can put any interpretation you want to them.

  But the one true interpretation clearly is: Cellphones protect from COVID-19!

  Think of it: Just as those 21 million cellphones disappear, the pandemic spreads. Why did it not spread earlier? Clearly, the cell phones were protecting the people! :-)
