Surprise: lots more death in Moscow

Today, the Russian press is reporting a sharp uptick in deaths during what has been a horrendous heat wave, with temperatures constantly breaking the 130-year records that had just been set the day before.

Earlier today, Interfax reported that deaths had increased by 29.7% in July, which, let’s recall, was before the smoke arrived.

Morgues are swamped, which, with the heat, is not a pleasant scenario. “It’s just horrible here!” one hospital employee told LifeNews.ru. “Our refrigerators [in the morgue] are filled beyond capacity! Yesterday, we had 17 corpses, the day before 17, even though normally we see two or three. That’s 5-6 times more! The corpses are at least in refrigerators, and not only do we not have air conditioning, we don’t even have a damn fan!”

And, of course, these are all leaks. Hospital employees have been forbidden from talking to the press.

Maybe these fires are God's way of telling the Russian politicians and clergy to mind their own business and stay out of their neighbor's back yards. The Russians should learn the 10 Commandments, especially not to COVET their neighbor's goods and property.
