"bodies had to be wrapped in sheets"

 The Guardian interviews a deep-south, small town funeral home director:

"The business has been in the Charlet family since their grandfather and his brother opened it in the 1940s. Charlet is one of three funeral directors at the Charlet family funeral home. He grew up 20 miles north of Zachary behind another funeral home that his family owns in Clinton, Louisiana, which was damaged in the historic floods of August 2016.

Because he was raised in a funeral home, Charlet knows how to prepare for the worst. He was taught at a young age to fill up the gas tank on the hearse before the local high school prom, in case there were deaths resulting from drunk-driving accidents.

But even Charlet wasn’t prepared for the Covid-19 pandemic. 'The first couple of months, it was really scary because there wasn’t a lot of guidance on what we were supposed to do,' he said. A short supply of body bags meant some bodies had to be wrapped in sheets."

Surprisingly compelling.  Also, true fact -- I was born in Zachary, Louisiana.  My mom was a graduate student at LSU at the time, and apparently the small county hospital here did Lamaze stuff that the larger university hospital wouldn't accommodate.
