    HORRIFYING pictures of a morgue set up at London’s new covid hospital
    emerged yesterday — a warning to sunseekers flouting the lockdown.

    Trucks have been hired to bring up to 40 coronavirus victims at a time to
    the makeshift facility at NHS Nightingale in the Docklands.

    The bodies will then be stacked on shelving inside container units with
    the temperature set below 4C to preserve them while funerals are hastily arranged, sources say.

    The grim pictures came as thousands ignored warnings to stay indoors — including those spotted queuing for ice creams in Brighton yesterday.

    One source at the mortuary said: “I’ve seen ten trucks arriving one after the other.

    “Their containers are for the bodies of those of us that don’t make it.
    And the trucks just keep on coming.

    “Our advice to everyone is, ‘Stay at home and don’t end up in here’.”

    Soldiers, medics and engineers came together to turn the ExCeL conference centre into a huge [4000 bed] hospital even as the number of deaths
    rocketed.

    The Sun can reveal that the site’s ICC Capital Hall on the ground floor
    has been turned into a 24-hour mortuary.

    The vast space has a 33ft high ceiling and usually costs £25,000 a day to
    hire for swanky award ceremonies and dinners, with space for up to 5,000 people.

    'THE MOST BLEAK PLACE IN BRITAIN'

    A source said: “This is the most bleak place in Britain.

    “Upstairs, doctors and nurses are working frantically around the clock
    saving lives.

    “Down here in the dark gloom, there is just eerie quiet.

    “The trucks began arriving on Wednesday.

    “Refrigerated containers are lifted off the lorries and the coffins
    counted.

    “This is the reality of what we are dealing with — row after row of bodies.

    “The wider public needs to wake up to the brutal reality of what is going
    on.

    “Perhaps people larking around in public parks and buying ice creams
    rather than staying at home should have a good look.

    Victims will be sent to the makeshift mortuary from NHS Nightingale itself
    as well as hospitals across the South East.

    An NHS spokesman said: “Any patient who dies at a Nightingale Hospital in London will be treated with the same care and respect that they would
    receive at other NHS hospitals.

    “Everyone can ease the burden on staff working at the Nightingale and
    other NHS hospitals by playing their part in stopping the spread of the
    virus and staying home to save lives.”

    Another temporary mortuary the size of two football pitches is being built
    at Wanstead Flats in East London.

    It will be used as a holding facility before cremations and burials go
    ahead and victims’ relatives would not be allowed to visit.

    The Sun told last month that the Government had secretly sent 200 pop-up mortuaries to locations around the country.

    Councils were told of an extra 15,000-body capacity to help manage peaks
    in demand.

    Whitehall officials told of plans for “mobile modular buildings with
    internal racking” and built-in refrigeration units, which have now been transported to NHS mortuary sites.

    It needs an army of up to 16,000 staff in clinical and other roles to keep
    it running.

    Split into more than 80 wards containing 42 beds each, the facility is
    used to treat Covid-19 patients who have been transferred from other
    intensive care units across London.

    ### - jesus! plus talk about planning for the worst??

    although with currently 1000 dying per day here am not surprised it's
    coming down to this?

    that if what's happening in NY is any indication of things to come
    everywhere else; it's accordingly starting to get really rough over here
    now peeps! rough!

    plus, they've been in a kind of denial about it all here, what with people
    of all ages sunning themselves in parks, gardens & beaches etc like
    there's just nada happening! it's just a normal sunny day! - the 'fear' however, is only just beginning to bite, it's slowly beginning to sink in
    while they otherwise worry about occupying themselves stuck in doors with
    their kids & relations, and increasingly so as the daily death tolls
    mounts around them, neighbours here and there being increasingly
    carted-off in ambulances around us and the news is about little else...

    1000 per day, 2000? 3000?? where will it all end! soon no one will be
    going out at all, just cowering in their homes waiting for the inevitable
    to strike down the whole family??

    the way things are and are going, methinks am pretty content to be living alone, that's it's a kind of blessing to be doing so compared to what many
    are now going through and/or will shortly be facing!

    plus just fingers crossed it can't re-infect us all over again huh, or
    this is how things are very likely gonna be pretty much from now on and
    for the foreseeable future!

    and 'coz we're all in solitary confinement now!
