Just a 20-minute drive from the heart of downtown Chicago sits a refrigerated warehouse, which is now being prepped as a space to potentially store more than 2,000 bodies amid the increase in coronavirus-related deaths. Local officials call it"the surge center."From the outside, a nondescript exterior gives no indication of the type of work going on inside the facility, which stretches nearly an entire neighborhood block.
"This increase is occurring at a very rapid pace so we expect to see hospitals, hospital morgues getting filled up, and we'll need to use refrigerated trailers to start moving these patients to the surge center soon."The Cook County Medical Examiner's office sits just five miles away from the warehouse, and has a capacity for 285 bodies. However, once the office hits 270 bodies, Arunkumar said they will need to use the warehouse.
