Deaths rising so fast California must order more body bags
SF Gate ^ | December 15, 2020 | by Amy Graff

Gov. Gavin Newsom offered a message of hope in his Tuesday press conference celebrating the arrival of the vaccine, but cautioned that the state has many dark and difficult months ahead amid the deadliest surge since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"There is a light at the end of the tunnel, but we are still in the tunnel," Newsom said. "And that means we're going through perhaps the most intense and urgent moment since the beginning of the pandemic."

In the past seven days, 163 Californians have died on average a day, compared with 41 a day a month ago. He warned this number will likely be higher in January, especially if residents don't follow public health orders.

“We have ordered for 63 53-foot refrigerated storage units that are currently standing by in hospitals,” he said. “We just had to order 5,000 additional body bags and distribute them down to San Diego, Los Angeles. That should be sobering. I don't want to scare folks, but this is a deadly disease and we need to be mindful of where we are. We are not at the finish line yet."

You must wear 3 masks and stay in just one room of your house.

Not to mention the suicides and ODs being classed as WuFlu deaths...

And there is this.

Mother (weeping): "They shot my sweet Davonte five times in the chest and once in the head! What am I gonna do without him?"

Newcaster: "Another tragic COVID death to lay at the feet of Donald Trump."

Coroner: "Yep, COVID-19 for sure. Case closed."

In the past seven days, 163 Californians have died on average a day,.......

The population of CA is 39.5 MILLION. Like trying to see a single grain of sand on a beach.......

Feel bad for those who died but as has been stated before....this is not the bubonic plague.

How can that be, if everything’s closed down and everyone is wearing masks?

Masks and shutdowns don’t work, apparently

All they care about is losing voters. Oh wait, I forgot that dems can still vote from the grave.
