COVID-19 has killed thousands in Idaho. Funeral homes are struggling to store bodies

Stephanie Garcia was scared to get the COVID-19 vaccine.

But after the Post Falls funeral director lost her father to COVID-19, and a stream of new victims began pouring into the building, she became even more scared of the disease. In one weekend, Bell Tower Funeral Homes, where she works, received six bodies. Five had died of COVID-19.

She got her first shot soon after.

“That was a real eye-opening moment for me,” Garcia said. “That drove it home.”

The number of Idahoans dying of COVID-19 is on the rise as the state goes through its worst surge of the pandemic in terms of severe disease. Hospitals, funeral homes and coroners now find themselves tasked with figuring out how to manage the bodies filling their morgues to capacity.

Red State notwithstanding, the State capital is a big University town full of professorial leftist rot. They keep the fishwrap on life support.

Well, Idaho is a conservative state, so I would figure thousands.

Last year Fauci said it would be a dark winter if we don’t all go/stay on lockdown. This year he said it would be a dark winter if we all don’t get vaxxed.

I wonder what he has up his sleeve for next year?

Only a few employees were wearing masks and even fewer guests were. Someone forgot to tell them there’s a crisis going on.

Probably because masks don't help. All they do is virtue-signal.

“Hubby and I both tested positive last week and got monoclonal at the ER on Thursday. After that, we got so sick we wanted to die. Not much improvement still.”

There is ivermectin, steroids, maybe a dozen other promising treatments. Did they recommend anything else. It’s almost like they want people to die.

I assume that neither of you had a hospital stay (my wish)? If so, the antibodies might have still saved your lives. But at best the claim is 80% less chance of going to hospital and living.

I hope both of you are fully recovered and doing well!

“It’s almost like they want people to die.”

It’s worse than that. They are actively trying to kill us.

“we didn’t have vaccines until right after the election. They could have announced it right before the election but didn’t want to help Trump.”

Pharma “had” the vaccines before the election. The deal was that the news was held back until a couple days after the election. In return for helping him “win”, Biden promised the purchase of a couple hundred million vaccines. People would be begging for them!

Turns out people weren’t begging for them. But he had to keep his end of the bargain with the devil and mandates had to be imposed.
