NEW FLORENCE, Pa. — New Florence Volunteer Fire Company is left reeling from the recent loss of not only its Fire Chief Keith Boring, but three auxiliary members.
“We’re doing the best we can with a devastating situation, it’s never going to be the same,” President Brandon Teeter said.
Amy is the wife of firefighter Bernie Sapp. She was a dedicated auxiliary member of the department and a mom to three young kids.
She passed away from COVID-19 last week. Days later, her mother, Connie, and sister, Bonnie, followed.
The sudden loss is why this department is coming together to help some of their own.
“Losing a second income is hard for anyone especially when you’re trying to raise three kids and Bernie, I’ve known him for years, would give the shirt off his back to anyone and ask for nothing. I feel like we owed it to him to make sure we helped them,” Teeter said.
“Bernie, I can’t fathom what that man’s going through with the family members in such a short amount of time. It’s horrible,” Orville Saunders said.
Saunders knew not only the Sapp family, but was close with Chief Boring.
“Losing Keith was like losing a pillar of this community. He gave his shirt off his back if you needed it, (he) would do anything for you any time of day if you needed it,” Saunders said.

So there REALLY IS a "President Brandon."
It sounds like this family has some underlying vulnerability to Covid-19, even if it isn’t one of the well-known “co-morbidities.”
Why were they not treated with either HCQ or Ivermectin???????????They would be alive today. Medical manslaughter.

Were any vaxxed?
Only an anti-science racist would ask a question like that. 🤡
I wondered the same thing.
The article pointedly avoids their vaccination status. For all anyone knows, all of them were vaxxed, and they died anyway. Of course the paper probably wants to leave the impression none were vaxxed, and that’s why they died. Which could also be the case - but the article doesn’t mention it.
It is Sad, but did they take experimental drugs?
Pretty soon, your vaccination status could be a privacy issue. If a body has been jabbed and boosted but still dies from the rona, asking if they were vaxxed could be met with “that’s private medical information” or some such.

If there is no mention of them being unvaxxed, then they’re vaxxed.
Ha! I like that line!
These stories are terrible but many could be prevented if the media would tell people one thing:
“If you are over 50 and have more than one chin, for god sake, get vaccinated”
The fear of “fat shaming” is killing people. Thousands of people. We are telling EVERYONE they need to get vaccinated, when the people with 2 or more chins are AT LEAST 10X more likely to die from Covid than people with only one Chin, and its probably much, much higher than that.
This has been OBVIOUS since April of 2020, when pictures of people under 60 hospitalized with Covid first started appearing on the news... and it hasn’t changed much since then.
This isn’t me be “funny”. This isn’t funny at all, it is the honest truth and sparing people’s feelings is killing people.
The Vaccines don’t slow the spread of Covid, but they do significantly reduce a person’s chance of dying from it. Not Prevent, but reduce is better than nothing.
“ paper probably wants to leave the impression none were vaxxed, and that’s why they died. Which could also be the case - but the article doesn’t mention it.”
If they weren’t jabbed the paper would blame them for not taking the fake vaccine and dying.
Not saying this is the case but how many folks that are obese and are ‘in the covid high risk category’ think that simply taking the jab(s), protects them. If you are overweight it might be covid’s gonna get ya no matter what.
The article's silence as to the deceased's vax status is dispositive of their status, it seems to me. Were they not it is unlikely that that fact would passed without being noted.
COVID deaths in Pennsylvania are way, way up compared to this same time last year. There were 1,346 COVID deaths this past September, compared to 418 in September 2020. For the month of October 2021, there has already been reported 1,804 COVID deaths, compared to 726 in October 2020. And that 1,804 figure will almost certainly be going up when all the monthly data have been compiled.
For what it's worth, the CDC reports that some 70.4% of Pennsylvania residents age 12 and above have now been vaccinated. In October 2020, of course, 0% had been. For what that's worth.
>>> Were any vaxxed?
If they weren’t, then the story would have read “3 UNVACCINATED Deaths”
Probably died from the vax, and they called it Covid.
And your evidence for this assertion is what, exactly? In September 2020, when no one in the U.S. was vaccinated, there were 19,139 deaths involving COVID. This past September (i.e., September 2021), at which point millions of Americans had been vaccinated, there were 60,119 COVID deaths.
Notably, as recently as July 2021, COVID deaths were down (some 65%), compared to July 2020. Starting this past August, however, the trend moved radically in the other direction. COVID deaths in the U.S. are now up, compared to the same period last year. Way, way up.
Not Prevent, but reduce is better than nothing.

Sure but that amount of ‘reducing a person’s chances’ drops month by month....I think I saw the other day that after 7 months, those chances are no different than the non-EGT’d.
As others have suggested, get the weight under control which means eating right and getting exercise.... and take a good quality preventative regimen. Oh and have ivermectin handy.
