The FDA just released a ghoulish handbook for how to convert trucks from storing coronavirus victims' bodies to hauling food

"Every disaster has its images, its symbols," Dr. Jeremy Rose of Manhattan's Mount Sinai Beth wrote in the Post. "For covid-19, it might just be the refrigerator truck. It's our overflow morgue, holding the patients we could not save."

The handbook, which contains mere recommendations rather than law, makes it clear that all surfaces of the food-transport truck need to be "thoroughly cleaned and disinfected" with EPA-registered cleaning materials, and may need to be cleaned multiple times. Air and water sprays should not be used, and workers "may need" personal protective gear while cleaning the trucks.

Chillingly, if blood or bodily fluids leaked onto the truck's interior surfaces, the FDA says the truck is still OK to carry food. However, if the contaminated surface is unfinished wood, cracked fiberglass, or another material that cannot be properly disinfected, the truck should be tossed. The FDA also urges grocers to not use the vehicle for to moving food if it "is permeated by offensive odors that cannot be eliminated through cleaning and disinfecting."

Not ghoulish ... just realistic unfortunately

The second- and third- order effects of this pandemic continue to surprise me.

Hopefully the first step is removing the bodies.
