Because then they could not sell to themselves for pennies on the dollar after crisis passes.

Not sure exactly how the lease of trailers works. I have driven leased trailers and company owned trailers too. ;)

Better than China. In China they used incinerator trucks. Some were still alive when processed. And people are still dying there. China just isn't reporting the numbers at all but rather doubling down on all their lies in the vain attempt to look good. Their priority on appearence over truth has cost us all.
