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."

Notice the photographer framed this photo off-center from the subject (the Governor), which is unusual. But he did this so he could capture the “diverse” crowd including the black gentleman to the right and the Asian gentleman with a mustache behind him, to underscore all the various “diversity elements” present in the attendees. Such subtle things show how completely the “diversity” paradigm has infiltrated the cultural consciousness.

Democrats love to have somber-looking crowds behind them when talking about serious issues, like “gun violence.” Yes, they must be mostly POCs and LGBLT types.
