people who support improving and expanding public transportation and bike lanes often point to statistics about vehicular deaths. public officials haven't done enough to help people conceptualize the staggering number of deaths thats happened over the past 19 months.

730K people is more than the populace of Wyoming or Vermont, so imagine if the entire population of either of those states died within 19 months. thats a lot of death.:francis:

Sounds like a plot to a horror film. But it isn't.

You sure? I thought I read that antibody testing showed damn near everybody caught that shyt, just lots of people had zero symptoms.


You'll have to check the most recent seroprevelance studies to get that number. I remember seeing 25% last time I checked but it's been a while since I bothered to check (last summer maybe?)

But another thing to also consider is that 36% of people that get infected don't even get antibodies

Texas Embalmer Shares Nightmare COVID Experiences: 'Unlike Anything I've Seen Before'

Funeral homes have been getting slammed in states that have seen the highest covid deaths per Capita. If hospitals are getting slammed then best believe funeral homes are too



I really wish we were embalming them all, but we just don’t have the manpower right now. As far as licensed embalmers, there’s a definitely a big shortage, especially down here in Texas

Right now shifts start at 8 a.m. and we are currently working 19 to 20 hours the first day of our two-day shifts. Then we’re back up after sleeping a few hours, and we don’t sleep that second night of work. Then I go home and either work other places in my town ― I live in East Texas and I drive to central Texas for work and, even when I’m home, I often help out at the local funeral home here and other places are calling for help

I’d say 85% of the people who are coming in right now passed from COVID. A lot of them are coming from the ICU. It’s not uncommon to get bodies from there, but what is uncommon is to get seven or eight or 10 bodies a day.

It’s so bad that we have had to get one of those large government FEMA refrigerated trailers. We’ve never had that before. Our facility has the ability to hold somewhere around 90 or 100 bodies in the walk-in refrigerator in our building, and another smaller one in the garage will hold another 18 or so bodies. And we’re full! If it comes down to it and we completely run out of refrigeration space, we will wind up having to embalm everybody that comes in that we can’t put into refrigeration. Basically, if we can’t get a body into refrigeration or buried within 24 hours, then we have to embalm, and there are only so many people who are qualified to do that

Breh I'm not reading anymore of these articles. I can easily find one that states the opposite and you would neg me on it. If people are getting vaccinated then this story is fake news.

Word. I think we can say though, that possibly a majority of the entire human population has contracted or been exposed to COVID 19 already.

The Wrong Side of the Tracks
A health professional told me that vaccines aren't lucrative for the pharmaceutical companies so this pandemic wasn't about money. Thanks I always knew they weren't telling the truth.

The pandemic was not a 'planned' event so, it wasn't 'about' anything aside from highlighting something we've known for a long time: the more humanity intrudes on wildlife habitats, the more diseases we'll have to deal with from that wildlife......

Honestly cars have been wiping out entire generations of people for decades and nobody cares, people drive too fast infact, I know Americans still won't give af about covid. I won't lie, it took me awhile to understand the numbers, but when I really think about it, 730k people is overwhelming, that's a whole city done away with

That would be MOST cities in America really. Its crazy

Stop being emotional and step out your bubble. You're basically telling me you're weak.
