The call for body bags came late Saturday.
By Monday, the police in a small New Jersey town had gotten an anonymous tip about a body being stored in a shed outside one of the state’s largest nursing homes.
When the police arrived, the corpse had been removed from the shed, but they discovered 17 bodies piled inside the nursing home in a small morgue intended to hold no more than four people.
“They were just overwhelmed by the amount of people who were expiring,” said Eric C. Danielson, the police chief in Andover, a small township in Sussex County, the state’s northernmost county.
The 17 were among 68 recent deaths linked to the long-term care facility, Andover Subacute and Rehabilitation Center I and II, including two nurses, officials said. Of those who died, 26 people had tested positive for the virus.

Tyson Foods says 2 dead after virus outbreak at Iowa plant
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Two employees have died following a coronavirus outbreak that has sickened scores of Tyson Foods workers at a large pork plant in southeastern Iowa, the company said Wednesday.
The deaths of the workers at Tyson plant in Columbus Junction are the first known to be linked to an outbreak at a meatpacking plant in Iowa.
The company said that it was “deeply saddened by the loss of two team members” and that their families were in its thoughts and prayers.
The plant has been idled since April 6, when Tyson announced that more than two dozen workers were infected. The company said Monday that it would continue the plant’s suspension this week after more workers tested positive.
Louisa County, a rural area of 11,000 residents, announced Wednesday that Tyson workers account for 148 of 166 coronavirus cases in the county. An Iowa Department of Public Health spokesperson had earlier put the number of Tyson workers infected at 166.
Gov. Kim Reynolds said testing of the plant’s 1,400 workers was continuing this week. The state sent a rapid-testing machine to the county and enough materials to test 900 more employees and others with whom they had contact, she said.
The goal is to understand the scope of the outbreak as Tyson works to reopen the plant as early as next week, Reynolds said.
The governor said she was working with federal officials and business leaders to prevent additional outbreaks at Iowa food processing plants.
The Iowa Premium beef plant in Tama has also suspended production this week after several of its 850 workers tested positive.
Reynolds said she was calling the leaders of 18 major food plants to assess how the pandemic is affecting their workplaces and how the state can help.
She also had a call scheduled with U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue and was inquiring with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control “to see if they can provide some assistance.”
Reynolds said she wanted to help the plants identify infected employees “before it starts to become significant and really problematic for the facility to keep up and running.” She noted that the plants represent a critical part of the nation’s food supply.

LET THEM EAT JENI’S: Nancy Pelosi Struggles Through Coronapocalypse With Her Fancy Designer Ice Cream.
This is something every single American can appreciate, and it’s not at all tone-deaf. Those containers of Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams you saw packed into Pelosi’s freezers are only $12 per pint, so you can buy literally 100 of them with your Trump check. Almost as many as Pelosi has. Now that’s what I call bipartisanship!
Which she keeps cold via a good $20K+ worth of refrigeration:

And it’s all Biden approved! Even more tone-deaf: Joe Biden compliments frost queen Nancy Pelosi on her great taste in ice cream.

“Based on serological tests on thousands of asymptomatics in the Lombardy and Liguria regions, an Italian infectologist reports that *15%* (and perhaps more) of subjects are testing positive...”
Same as that German region I believe.
Doesn’t help: 15% makes no difference.
I hope she chokes on it.

I dont have a subzero refrigerator but I am going to see if my store sells that ice cream. It looked like she also had Talenti in her freezer by the Dove. Even that is too expensive for some average families.
I would suppose cooking is going to kill the virus. I cooked some pork I just bought and kind of felt sick afterwords. But likely due to year old expired unopen Prego jar I decided to use up.
