The coronavirus pandemic has killed more than 110 El Paso residents in three weeks, and the far west Texas community is struggling to store its dead, officials said at a county commissioner meeting on Monday.

There had been 64,158 positive tests for coronavirus and at least 673 Covid-19 deaths in El Paso County since the pandemic took hold in March, according to public health data released on Monday.

The county now has six mobile morgues on the ground, and four more have been requested, officials said.

Curiously, the part of Mexico across the border there is also "hot" right now.

Hmm...I wonder if there's a connection...

They have three weeks. Bury those people you weirdos. Why would you be storing them?

BTW, I want to know how many of these people are Mexican Citizens brought to the border for care before they start using this occurrence as justification for imposing policies on me here inside the US.

270 days?

2.5 additional deaths per day?

In a City of 680k residents?

Overwhelming!

I tested positive about a week after coming back from El Paso back in October. What's crazy is their mask restrictions, distancing rules, and temperature checks are way more strict than in NOLA, and NOLA numbers are bottomed out. It's almost as if masks don't work and a virus will find a way to spread.

It kept spreading because for all of the restrictions, which some followed, there were a lot of people who didn't follow them, got sick, and went out or had gatherings or lived in multi-generational homes.

And there was a decent amount of people who crossed the border and got sick or came here sick.

EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — Contact tracers in El Paso identified the top three places were COVID-19 has been contracted.

Visiting stores 37 percent
Eating at restaurants 22.5 percent
Traveling to Mexico 19 percent



Even with all this, I don't necessarily trust the numbers due to language like this showing up occasionally and what we've heard about covid deaths in other places:
quote:

The deaths include 2 females and 1 male in their 70s and 3 females and 1 male in their 80s. All 7 patients had underlying health conditions.

As a reminder the deaths did not occur on the same day, but rather between the fourth week of September and the first week of November.

It's easier to run a press conference than a shovel.
