    January 8, 2021 Atlanta: Trailers parked outside of the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s office located at 430 Pryor St SW in Atlanta (NOT CONFIRMED if these are used for overflow morgue). Health officials saw the COVID-19 surge coming and sounded alarms, but the holiday get-togethers went on. Now, the scenes officials have dreaded the most since the start of the pandemic are playing out all over Georgia. Hospitals overflow with COVID-19 patients. Some nursing homes are erupting with new cases. Vaccinations are behind, and, for lack of staff, some health districts are limiting COVID testing to get the shots to health care workers and the elderly. Meanwhile, with deaths mounting, the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s office has deployed a refrigerated morgue truck to store bodies. A second truck is ready to go. (John Spink / John.Spink@ajc.com)
