As Texas morgues fill up, refrigerator trucks on the way

[SouthernIslander]

As Texas continues a weeks-long streak of setting grim coronavirus records, the most somber one was reached Friday: The virus has killed 3,013 people, according to the Department of State Health Services.

Among the recent deaths were a Northeast Baptist Hospital patient in San Antonio who was in his 30s, a Grand Prairie man in his 40s, a Garland woman in her 60s who had no underlying conditions, a 73-year-old man who was about to go home from a prison rehabilitation program and a baby boy in Corpus Christi who wasn't 6 months old yet.

That has happened all over the country. Texas is not unique in the use of refrigerator trucks.

It is sad, but necessary.

why is it necessary to let so many people die that the morgues can’t hold all the bodies?

Meanwhile, at the WH, the POTUS is talking again about his big achievements in giving us running water for dishwashers and showers. Geesh.

It's sad this is happening at this late stage. It's almost as if the governor is simple. He is only requiring masks in counties where they have more than a certain amount of cases. The problem with that is people don't stay in their counties. It really needs to be all in or the cases will continue to rise.

No covid19 deaths in NYC during a 24 hour period which is a first since March. But NYC attracts people from all over the country and young people are still partying so it could get bad again.

It is frustrating to no end. This should have been state wide a long time ago. We already went through this per county think before we shut down and it didn’t work then.

I’m glad y’all are doing better up there.

Arizona will also see 14 of these refrigerated trucks up and operational IF necessary by next week.

It's hard to imagine and incredibly tragic to even fathom, but it is a necessity. :/
