Rock Chalk COVID Scare Tactics: KU Med Shares Morgue Footage


Local doctors are engaging in more than a bit of theatricality in their efforts to encourage vaccination and elucidate the seriousness of the current COVID pandemic.

To wit . . . 

ROCK CHALK MORGUE SNUFF CLIPS ARE THE NEW HOTNESS FOR THE WEEKEND!!!

We won't deny anybody their right to be more interesting and the message should terrify many locals.

To prove what it is facing, KU Health System showed video from inside its morgue during a COVID-19 update Friday morning. The video shows body bags on gurneys. Many of the bags are marked "COVID positive," meaning the patients died from COVID-19. The hospital said it's an extra precaution for hospital workers.

When the morgue gets too full, the health system said some of the remains have been temporarily stored outside of refrigeration rooms. The hospital said that only happens when it knows a funeral home is on the way to get the body.

KU Health says it may have to bring in refrigerated storage trucks if things get much worse.
