Mobile Morgues Headed to Central Florida
Advent Health in Orlando and Volusia County are in the end phases of purchasing fleets of refrigerated morgues.
Florida Public Radio station WJCT has verified the purchases from the company Mopec. A representative from the company said, "The amount they bought could easily be dispersed throughout several counties."

I live in Volusia County. Our company had a Zoom meeting the day before yesterday to announce they are scrapping plans to have anyone come back to the office this year. Originally they planned to have us come back in September. Now the plans are indefinitely on hold. Thank goodness. When we have these meetings we can anonymously submit questions in advance. Someone wanted to know if the company would be willing to segregate unvaccinated from vaccinated when we do go back. Unfortunately, the company said no. But I think it shows that many of us vaccinated folk are sick and tired of the anti-mask and anti-vaxxers that are preventing the rest of us from safely going back to some normal way of life. I have gone back to having food delivered because I just don't want to mix with the locals, they are mostly a seething cauldron of Fox induced rage and toxicity.
Also, it doesn't surprise me that Volusia County would be mentioned in an article about temporary morgues.
I'm really glad that you're continuing to work remotely. Do you miss the office? I do.
Returning to work will require a mask mandate. A few weeks ago, the powers that be was discussing reopening plans. I was pushing my college to have everyone on campus wear a mask, regardless of vaccination status. That idea wasn't embraced by colleagues. Now that delta has arrived, I'm certain we'll have a mandatory mask mandate in addition to our almost worthless vaccine mandate (because ... Oregon).
While a formal decision hasn't been announced, I'm certain a mask mandate will be continued for many months to come (plans were to allow vaccinated folks to go maskless at the end of Sept). The college will have to scramble to institute social distancing in classes that they allowed full enrollment (idiots).
I'm waiting for the campus to just go remote again. Students are scheduled to return to on-campus classes on Sept 27. Delta won't have burned out by then, and lambda might be everywhere. The college will likely try to open but I don't think that will last long.
