If the morgue only holds 10-15 people three bad car wrecks and a couple of shootings would fill it to capacity. Hospitals typically don't store hundreds of bodies on site.

Quoted: Long ass 18 wheeler like that provably can't negotiate down some of the streets is my guess. There's footage at another hospital Wycoff doing the same thing only the footage is much closer where you can see the bags and coffins. NYC is losing its shit right now. expect panic asap.

Quoted: There was a doctor from NYC in a video on the NYT site talking about having to use a refrigerator trailer as temp a temp morgue. View Quote I work the ED in a large urban hospital with hundreds of beds. Our morgue is tiny, something like 6-8 slots. It gets filled regularly on a normal day bw ED deaths and inpatient deaths. I could easily see hospitals having to resort to such a measure. |

They call that a “blue load”. I had to do that in 93, at the Mobile ALabama train wreck.

Quoted: Why would a hospital have coffins and caskets? View Quote Funeral homes are bringing caskets to the hospital and placing people immediately in the casket and then having immediate burials to protect their staff. Doesn't do much good, hospital isn't running tests on suspected cases that die before tested. They just release them to us and then act like it's a nothing burger while putting our staff at risk due to hospital management's continued incompetency. If you think they treat nurses and staff like shit during a pandemic, they couldn't give a flying fuck what they pass off to us. |

I don’t understand why we wouldn’t require cremation of potentially infectious remains. With some due process to the family of course.

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Getting those big boys (600-900lb) out of their houses to begin with would be a tremendous effort. Someone should document it.

When I still worked 911, it was not unusual to need extra volunteers and FD personnel to get bariatric patients out of their houses. More than once we cut out the front door and walls from the entryway to make room. One in particular had to be rolled onto a cargo net and the entire wall cut out of her livingroom. About 15 dudes struggled to heave l/drag her, on the net, onto the ambulance floor with the stretcher and mounting hardware removed. |

There is a great big chunk of our population who will not accept being inconvenienced for anything. They will refuse to social distance, refuse to stay home some more, refuse to obsessively wash their hands, refuse to wear a scarf over their face. They will refuse to accept responsibility for anything they don't like. If they get somebody else killed, they will blame the goverment.
These people are why government overreach will be justified, just like our founding fathers predicted. |

So how many bodies can the typical hospital morgue hold at a given time?
I can see the need for trailers if you add COVID deaths to all the other deaths we have daily. |

1. Using a scissor lift to load the trailer looks like the least efficient means possible.
2. The medical examiner's office has a really fancy "special operations" truck. |
