Chicago opens refrigerated warehouse to hold more than 2,000 bodies
The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office in Chicago announced the opening of its surge center Thursday to expand capacity and ease overcrowding at hospital morgues due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The 66,000-square foot refrigerated warehouse will have the capacity to hold more than 2,000 bodies, according to a release from the county.
“While my hope is that we have made plans that we will not have to utilize, I realize that my administration has a responsibility to prepare for a surge in deaths due to the Covid-19 pandemic,” said Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle. “We are working diligently to ensure that the victims of this virus are treated with dignity while under our care.”
The county has also acquired 14 refrigerated trailers and is in the process of securing six more to support the surge center. The trailers will be prepositioned at hospitals that are experiencing surges so their morgues are not overwhelmed.
In a statement Thursday, the Medical Examiner’s Office said they plan to scale up their existing case management system to accommodate the caseload at the surge center.
“We are the last physicians these individuals will ever have and we take that responsibility very seriously,” said Cook County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Ponni Arunkumar. “We treat these patients with dignity and respect. We treat them the way we would want our loved ones to be treated.”

为啥要冻起来？ 还是挖万人坑方便。
西侯地平时就这样。
黑人的命只有在左逼的情怀里才比金贵，在自己家人眼里也是连屎都不如，没人领。
有什么样人民就有什么样政府。当地政府宁可倒贴电费冻着，也不烧。一烧，保证苦主招上门来，告死你!
这是morgue，funeral home不能领尸体前只能放在morgue，funeral home现在得排队办葬礼了，医院的morgue也就能放8到10具尸体。
这冷库原来是冻猪肉的？

美国打算死多少人呀？每个城市都是准备几千尸体的车。
我们这里好像预测会死五千到一万。。。现在已经死了快1000了。

半年内只敢吃鸡了
