Hospital morgues fill as death count climbs in Missouri

A Springfield hospital announced Tuesday that it expanded its morgue capacity amid an increase in COVID-19 deaths, while the Kansas City mayor announced he would reinstate a mask mandate for indoor spaces.

Missouri has the nation’s fourth-worst COVID-19 diagnosis rate over the past week, with one in every 360 people diagnosed with COVID-19. Its seven-day rolling average of daily deaths has nearly doubled over the past two weeks, according to data from John Hopkins.

Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas tweeted on Tuesday evening that he would provide details Wednesday morning on his plans to return Kansas City to a mask mandate based upon national and regional health guidance and discussion with other city leaders.

They mixed up the headlines—the deaths were really due to climate change!

The Associated Press out with the fear porn not-so-coincidentally right as St. Louis County's Council voted 5-2 to end their mask mandate.

Not that's being reported. Most are comparatively young, too.

Worldometer says that Missouri hasn’t had a COVID death since July 19th.

About 200 a day on average throughout the entire US. A little more than the daily toll of people who fall off roofs or downs stairs, but a little less than the daily toll of people who die of Alzheimers.

Maybe 16 for the whole state? I guess the hospital morgues are small. And if they are still counting anyone who ever was within 6 feet of someone who had Covid, as a Covid death, then probably the real number is 2, not 16. ??

CDC data says the US death rate continues to fall, not rise.

And throw in the numbers dying of drug overdoses.

An interesting response from our County Executive that made the mask mandate. He says it doesn't matter what the County Council says, and that the mask requirement is still in effect.

This is setting up a mixed up situation in St. Louis County, where some suburbs have already said they won't enforce it; and many store owners are not enforcing it. Some store managers have told employees not to confront people not wearing masks. It's a mess.

“Missouri has the nation's fourth-worst COVID-19 diagnosis rate over the past week, with one in every 360 people diagnosed with COVID-19.”

They are not testing anyone without symptoms. It's not like they are going out on to the streets and testing selected strangers, en masse.

This means nothing on its own.
