A North Texas medical examiner’s office has brought in two refrigerated trucks to store dead bodies in response to low capacity amid a surge in coronavirus cases.

Many of the hospitals and larger funeral homes in the Fort Worth area have reached their storage capacity or will soon, said Nizam Peerwani, Tarrant County’s chief medical examiner.

I heard this a month ago but it was a county in Houston. Must be the dreaded thanksgiving surge.

My daughter is a doctor at Parkland. She told me this was coming a day or so. The hospitals are packed and this is a serious illness.

“For most people, the coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms that clear up within weeks. But for others, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, the virus can cause severe symptoms and be fatal.”

But by all means, let’s scare people daily month after month and destroy the economy because of it.

From eating bad turkey or just hanging out with the family, passing the death virus back and forth?

The backlog is created at the funeral homes.

And I’m sure they were all young and fit, not old with ancillary problems such as diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, lung cancer and so on.

I’d be curious to see how many died of pure covid with no underlying conditions. I bet very few.

Expects.
Expects.

Might not happen but, they get to spend some of our money!
Let’s see an accounting of every dollar.
Did some of it go to an unexpected vendor or some connected politician?

If it saves even one life, it’ll be worth it.

They tried to run with this story in July when Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego (D - Sorosland) claimed it was happening here...except it wasn’t. Even she had to keep her big mouth shut for a while after that.

What they don’t tell you:

By now, everyone has seen the stories about the “refrigerated morgue trucks” and “ice rink morgues in Madrid.” If you dig down into some of those stories, you will discover a rather mundane, but perfectly understandable explanation for these improvised morgues, namely … bodies that would normally have been picked up by funeral parlors are not being picked up (because many funeral parlors are not operating normally due to the lockdown, or because it is difficult for grieving families to make arrangements given the current level of hysteria), and so these bodies are accumulating at hospitals.

Normally, when someone dies at the hospital, the body is taken to the hospital morgue, and it sits there until the family contacts the funeral parlor and makes arrangements to have it picked up. Typically, this happens fairly quickly, as anyone who has had to make such arrangements will confirm. Hospital morgues have been designed for this routine turnaround. Thus, their storage capacity is limited. When you’re manufacturing mass hysteria, you’ll want to bury these facts deep in your story, so that most readers will miss them.

Japan, a very densely populated nation of over 125,000,000 people, has has 2,465 Red Flu deaths. The stats here in the U.S. are being grotesquely manipulated.

If one analyzed the cause, I strongly suspect it would be thousands of illegal aliens coming to USA.

Let me see, Texas is in the south, the border is in the south. Other southern states have similar COVID-1984 increases.

>> have reached their storage capacity or will soon,

There is no uptick in overall deaths for the year.

Maybe people are delaying funerals.

Maybe bodies are being kept for examination.

Anyone know the story?

Ivermectin knocks it out in 2 days.

Hydrochloroquine, azithromycin and zinc work well.

Why is this happening?

99.998% of those who get Covid fully recover - 99.998%.

Japan, a very densely populated nation of over 125,000,000 people, has has 2,465 Red Flu deaths.

Japan also has a culture of eating with chopsticks, minimal physical contact (i.e. bowing instead of handshakes), and, yes, wearing masks from Day 1 of any pandemic. Totally different cultures produce totally different results.

“or will soon”...

So they can’t show us pictures of piles of dead bodies.

99.998% of those who get Covid fully recover - 99.998%.

Actually it's more like 97% of all closed cases in the US did not result in death. But that number does not include the people who survived it but suffered blood clots and permanent lung damage as a result of the COVID. As a healthy 30 year old, I seriously doubt that I would die from it. OTOH I can't afford to miss weeks of work, then be presented with a big hospital bill on top of it. I don't see any of the anti-mask or flubro/a crowd offering to pick up my medical bills if I get COVID, so I will continue to mask up and avoid social gatherings. There is also the fact that I will be more valuable to the US economy in the long run if I don't have lung damage for the next few decades.

Yes I keep hearing about the “long term affects” from COVID. Just like we heard about the super child killer strain of COVID over the summer...
