COVID-19 has killed thousands in Idaho. Funeral homes are struggling to store bodies
Idaho Statesman ^ | SEPTEMBER 23, 2021 4:37 PM | KYLE LAND AND RACHEL SPACEK

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.

Go in with the Flu, take the recalled PCR test... you have Covid. (( where's the flu??) Treatment - Remdesivir=organ failure (renal failure to start) then Ventilator, then death. Mass malpractice. Genocide.

But, meanwhile,

Well, it looks like they are short one funeral home...

"In the meantime, Downard Funeral Home remains closed, and owner Lance Peck no longer has a license to practice as a mortician. So far no arrests have been made or charges filed in the case."

It is the people that are taking the jabs that are dying of various deaths.

Of course the powers the be are saying this increase in deaths have nothing to do with the jabs.

Last year at this time with no vaccines there were very few deaths.

“ Idaho & Tennessee are tracking about 1 death per 100K residents. Florida is almost 1.6/100K.”
*****************************************************
If you’re talking about the current 7-day deaths per 100,000, Florida is currently at 0.96/100K, Idaho is at 7.83/100K and Tennessee is at 6.11/100K.

Florida is well off her “Delta peak” and rapidly trending down in both cases and deaths. Idaho and Tennessee are about at their peak.

None of these articles mention treatment. Is Monoclonal antibody therapy stations set up in Idaho? Are antivirals (Favipiravir and Ivermectin) prescribe early? The same with steroids?

Are they just letting people die needlessly because they worship the God Vaccine? Is Idaho acting responsibly?

Hmmmm, from the UK, but I wonder if something similar is occurring in Idaho...

Thousands more people than usual are dying ... but it’s not from Covid

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.

Then I mentioned ivermectin and I’m pretty sure they wanted to wash my mouth out with soap.

“Are they just letting people die needlessly because they worship the God Vaccine?”

I think that’s exactly what’s happening. There’s no such thing as healthcare any more. When it comes to medicine we’re pretty much on our own.

I grew up in Idaho. Been gone more than four decades now but where I lived September meant four changes: beginning of school year, state fair, potato harvest which drew large numbers of migrants, and cold weather driving people indoors. My brother and sister-in-law, fully vaccinated since spring tested positive for COVID several days ago and are in quarantine.

You can get Ivermectin prescription online. Our family bought it just to be on the safe side.

Typically, you dispose of bodies in some way, after a certain amount of time, so they may want to try that.

As to ‘bodies piling up in Idaho’, the state with the highest death rate is now Mississippi, followed by New Jersey. You have to go down to Number 37 on the list to find Idaho.

How a liberal rag like the Statesman survives in bright red Idaho...

Leftists are like toe fungus. Once acquired, you play hell getting rid of it.

We’ve been hearing “no where to put the bodies” for the last year and a half. It’s a tired trope by lazy reporters

What else are you taking?

It sure sounds like the monoclonals you got are not working well, now.
