Advent Health said it believes its morgues are backed up because of a "slowdown at local funeral homes," which is causing the hospitals to have to hold bodies for longer periods.

"Because this is happening to hospitals throughout the area, we have been in contact with our regional hospital disaster coalitions and a request for assistance has also been forwarded to the Florida Hospital Association," the email read."

If I put in in BOLD hopefully that will help you understand the words in this statement. You might also notice the words "request for assistance". Seems to me that they asked for help, got help, are using the help, and now are saying that the extra morgue units are nearing capacity. But you do your thing. Somehow facts become hype in your mind.

Now perhaps that email was made up and your are correct. So you will be returning to post links to evidence of the lack of truth to the statement in the story in Newsweek, also the same story in the Orlando paper but behind a paywall.

Of course they need extra morgues....how could they not....do the math people.
Sorry to say, but generally hospitals don't post this type of negative news until it's after the fact. Believe it now, or later....its happening.
