Sounds as if Idaho is stacking the bodies up like cord wood out along the fence line.

“...the coroner’s only has seven spaces for bodies. As of Monday, three of those spaces were full...”

Oh. Wait.

However, it does sound like Idaho is seeing a large spike in deaths, and lots of families being affected.

Just went to the CDC’s tracking website. There have been 2,753 COVID-19 deaths in Idaho since January 21, 2020. So the story’s “thousands” is in the low thousands. But it does show 140 deaths for the past 7 days in Idaho so Idaho clearly is experiencing a COVID-19 “spike”. Hopefully they’re at the top of their wave and it will soon begin a rapid descent in cases and deaths.

Close friend lives in Hailey. Yes Idaho is bad. It's mostly in the areas that have a lot of illegals. Also places which see alot of transients from KKKalifornia, Seattle and beyond, (i.e. Ketchum). Those big egos come in "vaccinated" but still carrying a big viral load, acting as superspreaders to the servants. That's the way she figures it.

Friend won't go shopping except at off hours, won't go to her gym, won't go out to eat, und-und-und. Driving her a bit stir-crazy, despite being vaccinated herself back in March 2020.

======================

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

Post Falls in right on I-90, direct route from Seattle to Coeur d’Alene. More of those vaccinated superspreaders, I’ll warrant. Coughing on the gas pumps.

I’m waiting for some self-righteous mortician to get on the news and say “I refuse to bury any COVID19 fatality who didn’t get a shot.”

There is also a large Muslim population near the Chobani plant.

There is a spike right now but it's falling, but last winter the numbers appear to have been more over the same one-month period.

Odd....I don't recall morticians whining about the dead back then.

The only way for this story to be ‘realistic’ is if the state only has a total of five funeral homes.

This is the perfect time to start culling any way they can; all they have to do is blame it on KungFlu..

Very seldom do people have a funeral with the deceased. Nearly all are cremated. I would wonder if this story is accurate, or just baloney.

Can you explain how she was vaccinated in March 2020, the month of the first lockdown? She must have been in the very first vaccinw trial? I’ve never heard of a person vaccinated that early.

Idaho & Tennessee are tracking about 1 death per 100K residents. Florida is almost 1.6/100K.
