This post is part of a disinformation campaign. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/hurricane-helene-conspiracy-theories_n_66fffc76e4b02f12ed4a9dd0 The "500 body bags" story has been spreading in various forms. Somewhat reliable sources formulate "xxx bags delivered". This is then interpreted as "xxx bags used for xxx bodies, the official death numbers are a lie". https://whnt.com/news/huntsville/looks-like-a-third-world-country-north-alabama-volunteer-team-aids-north-carolina/
