Phoenix is running out of morgue space and they're looking into refrigerated trucks to hold bodies

American bodies piling up under Trump's leadership:

By Ashley Loose

PHOENIX — Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego says one Abrazo location is nearing capacity in its morgue and may be requesting refrigerated trucks.

ABC15 spoke with Mayor Gallego Friday morning when she said the Abrazo location, which was not identified, is "near capacity" in their morgue space and they are looking at options to prevent problems.

"We are losing too many Arizonans," Mayor Gallego said. She continued to urge Arizona Governor Doug Ducey to require mask usage throughout the state.

"I'm heartbroken...it's been a rough week for me," Mayor Gallego said, citing that the White House officials have said everything is under control and that she has been asking for too much support amid the fight against coronavirus.

I feel like I'm living in a war zone right now and I'm not even doing any of the fighting.

They're long gone from here so AZ is more than welcome to them...if they aren't hauling meat to your supermarket, that is.
