In Tillamook County, Oregon, officials cited a low vaccination rate as the cause for the surge. Critics suggest these stories are recycled "scripts" from earlier in the pandemic and encourage verifying the claims with local funeral directors.

Families queued for hours for firewood and propane in freezing rain as grocery supplies dwindled. A critique of media reports notes that many residents failed to realize they could use the outdoor snow to keep refrigerated food from spoiling during the blackout.

In Houston, 8,000 vaccine doses were reportedly "re-refrigerated" after a power outage, a practice the hosts compare to refreezing spoiled milk. Additionally, ABC News reports a massive drop in flu hospitalizations, with only 128 cases compared to 400,000 in previous years.

The report uses "grim scenes" of refrigerated trailers and National Guard body movements to emphasize the rising death toll in the U.S. Keywords: [nbc news](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/nbc-news.md), [sandy hook](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/sandy-hook.md), [national guard](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/national-guard.md), refrigerated trailers, [fire chief](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/fire-chief.md) ### Tarrant County Refrigerated Trucks, Funeral Delay Realities - **Episode:** [1303: Redneck Red Herring](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1303-redneck-red-herring.md) - **Published:** 2020-12-14 - **Time:** 1:04:27–1:07:16 - **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1303-redneck-red-herring/chapter/tarrant-county-refrigerated-trucks-funeral-delay-realities.md A news report from Tarrant County, Texas, discusses the use of refrigerated trucks for body storage. However, the report clarifies that the backlog is partly due to families delaying funerals until pandemic conditions improve, rather than a sudden surge in infectious deaths alone.
