Not a direct counterargument to anything you wrote, but I just wanted to mention that a lot of people seem to fixate on a makeshift ice rink morgue in Spain, as if it's the only one. I'd bet there are ice rink morgues in many countries that have a high death toll. For example, here is an ice rink that was being used as a morgue in Maryland.[1] I doubt it's the only example in the US.

- rumanator 6y agoI don't see Madrid's ice rink as a problem, but as a solution to the problem. It's far better to store piles of dead bodies on ice than leaving them piling up on morgues or crematoriums, as it was shown in Brazil or Mexico. The only thing that ice rink morgues represent is the extent of the death wave, and how a nation has to cope with the sudden increase in mortality.
