A Cobb County hospital is requesting a temporary morgue as COVID-19 cases skyrocket in Georgia.

Channel 2's Cobb County Bureau Chief Chris Jose was in Marietta, where Kennestone Hospital is listed as being severely overcrowded on on intensive care and critical care unit diversions.

Doctors said that there are currently more than 200 patients at Kenestone with COVID-19.

State Representative Erick Allen said he was shocked when the county’s top public health doctor requested the mobile morgue.

“That should bring everyone to a pause,” Allen said. “We’re in a situation where we’re not only putting the strain on our health care system, but we’re also seeing death at a rate we can’t keep up with.”

Well I don't want to get a vaccine now because I don't want to put a strain on our overwhelmed health system by pulling away workers and resources.

Over the past three weeks, Cobb and Douglas Public Health Director Dr. Janet Memark has sounded the alarm about the delta variant.


If I never hear "sound the alarm" ever again, it will be too soon.

I sold a bunch of stuff to lake lawn to hook some up last year. Cost an easy 6 figure. Think they used one of the 3 and only used it for a week

If people would turn their TVs off, stay off the internet, and just crack a good book for multiple hours of the day, this wouldn't even be an issue. This pandemic continues because everyone in the western world as a TV.

Hospitals get government money to make these ‘modifications’. They get paid per covid patient. We are footing the bill for the large wealth redistribution from us (middle class) to big healthcare and big pharma

WSB is pure covid porn these days, which is sad because it's traditionally Atlanta's best local news.

I'm in Cobb County every day, it is 100% life as usual.
