medical workers deal with on frontlines

Speaking with Buzzfeed News, the male emergency room nurse, who asked to remain unidentified (along with the hospital where he works), revealed he took the photo of the adhoc morgue while leaving a shift on Sunday morning.

"I took it to show to people," the nurse told Buzzfeed News, adding, "It is the ghastly reality of what we deal with and where some of us have ended up already."

The photo shows a refrigerated truck, parked outside of the hospital's ambulance bay and filled with deceased coronavirus patients, according to the nurse.
