Welcome to the continuously club, since the start the fridge has had at least one victim on ice and essentially all my coworkers have had it at least once. Vax just keeps you from being my customer, it doesn't stop you from getting it.
And in March of when this first started two years ago we got a panic call from a hospital begging us to rent room in our fridge to store the overflow, price no object. That's when it became real. This was before the authorities backed up refrigerated trailers to the hospitals.
As we are mortuary / cemetery / crematory we'd rather call it the Care Center rather than a morgue. After that panic call we doubled our capacity - former restaurant walk ins were going cheap as those businesses failed - once it was in, cold and inspected it took all of four days to stuff 100 cases in and we had to refuse business again. At one point a hospital called and asked if we would take 80 cases that day, we didn't have that many open spaces, however we took 10.
Overtime was being given out like candy at Halloween. Things are not quite back to normal, but the extra space is back to warm, the regular is running full enough that tetris skills are needed.
We hate hospitals that have freezers, people don't thaw out and look good enough for viewings that families frequently want. Refrigeration 2C is great, ice is not.

An interdisciplinary group of researchers developed an artificial intelligence algorithm capable of writing reviews for wine and beer that are largely indistinguishable from those penned by a human critic. The scientists recently released their results in the International Journal of Research in Marketing.
... “The model cannot taste wine or beer,” says Praveen Kopalle, a marketing specialist at Dartmouth and a co-author of the study. “It only understands binary 0’s and 1’s.”

Interesting yes, but wow, that's quite the story. Must have been bizarre to suddenly get panic calls like that...

A new algorithm writes wine and beer reviews that sound like they were penned by human critics.
