from the Chron today:

8:37 a.m. Dead bodies on streets in Ecuador after morgues fill up: Guayaquil, Ecuador is a hot spot for COVID-19 in Latin America, the Washington Post reports. Up to 150 corpses are picked up daily, the country’s El Universo newspaper reports. With morgues full, bodies wait on sidewalks and inside homes. “Every day it’s getting worse,” one man said. “We see them burning bodies on the street. Nobody is picking them up at the houses. … The only option is to leave their loved ones on the street or at the hospital (if they died there).”
