COVID-19 has killed thousands in Idaho. Funeral homes are struggling to store bodies

Stephanie Garcia was scared to get the COVID-19 vaccine.

But after the Post Falls funeral director lost her father to COVID-19, and a stream of new victims began pouring into the building, she became even more scared of the disease. In one weekend, Bell Tower Funeral Homes, where she works, received six bodies. Five had died of COVID-19.

She got her first shot soon after.

“That was a real eye-opening moment for me,” Garcia said. “That drove it home.”

The number of Idahoans dying of COVID-19 is on the rise as the state goes through its worst surge of the pandemic in terms of severe disease. Hospitals, funeral homes and coroners now find themselves tasked with figuring out how to manage the bodies filling their morgues to capacity.

I did Zicam but I had also already been doing the Prophylaxis and I am vaxxed.

Basically, if you get sick but wait for treatment, you are in for a bad ride. I started the Zicam at the first hint of sickness.

Get an Oximeter from Amazon.

Was at the CDA casino in Worley two days ago. Only a few employees were wearing masks and even fewer guests were. Someone forgot to tell them there’s a crisis going on.🙄

....the Idaho Statesman is a McClatchy owned paper. The McClatchy Family is a well known lefty klan based in the Sacramento area.

Sharyl Attkisson, in her chart, puts McClatchy on the right relative to ALL news organizations.

My ‘go to’ Xlear is the ‘rescue variant’, which includes oregano, eucalyptus, tea tree and parsley oils. I’ve been on the Xlear bandwagon for a looooong time.

"I’m on Eliquis, so can’t take NSAIDs."

I got a stent about 3 years ago, and I take Eliquis and one Baby Aspirin at bed time.

Turns out that single Baby Aspirin might be useful in treatment of Covid.

Aspirin Use Is Associated With Decreased Mechanical Ventilation, Intensive Care Unit Admission, and In-Hospital Mortality in Hospitalized Patients With Coronavirus Disease 2019

Previous stories said the problem was mostly in northern Idaho, which is only 40% vaccinated. That is, of course, where most of the political opponents to vaccination live.

Because OF COURSE it is - just like NAC...

And Zantac... considering Pepcid AC is being used in some protocols, you have to wonder if Zantac was even better

Hadn't heard about that.

I heard about Zantac being pulled for something else, though...

Vaccinated in March 2020?

Impressive. I’d like to know how she did that.

This is roaring BS and fear porn.

If they want credibility they would all use relevant metrics like deaths per 100,000 compared to the same and not raw numbers. Thing is, they don’t want credibility, they want fear and sensationalism and attention. They are also either too dumb to know the truth or don’t care about it or both.

Yes, they claim it was a link to cancer, but the timing is suspect.

Each week it is a different state. Same claims to be shown quite false in the following days. When it was Florida’s turn hundreds of people went and looked. No refrigerator trucks, no stacked body bags, no funeral home overloading, hospitals not overloaded, some without virus patients in ICU at all. But if they go through the whole fifty states they will instill a feeling that this thing stands to kill us all and maybe we had better wear those masks and get those shots.

And it was only SOME formulations and manufacturers - not all of them.
