US Funeral Homes Reach Full Capacity Amidst Rise In Delta Cases

As the US is seeing an unabated resurgence of new Covid-19 cases, especially among unvaccinated Americans, some memorial service homes in the province of Idaho are running out of space, as indicated by a media report.

Citing information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the CNN report said that Idaho has one of the most minimal vaccination rates in the US, with just 41.3 percent of occupants completely inoculated, reports Xinhua news office.

“We are working constantly. We’re depleted. We’re baffled,” the report cited Ada County Coroner Dotti Owens as saying.

“Burial service homes are out of capacity. Our clinics are out of capacity.”

As per the CNN report, Covid-19 has killed a normal of 20 individuals per day over the previous week in the state.

In the meantime, emergency clinics are likewise overpowered.

Around 90% of Idaho’s ICU beds are at present involved, with 58.6 percent taken up by COVID-19 patients, the CNN report noted, referring to information from the government Department of Health and Human Services.

Other than Idaho, just two different states had lower immunizations rates: West Virginia (40.3 percent) and Wyoming (41%).

Florida Funeral Humes Struggle To Keep Up 

The above news comes after a report recently claimed that funeral homes in Florida were struggling to keep with the work. Reports suggest that the Covid 19 wave in the state has caused a torrent of death.

According to a report released by the US Department of Health and Human Services said that Florida hospitals averaged 279 deaths per day. The rise in the fatalities was strongly suspected because of the rise in the Delta variant cases.

Overall, the state has reported a total of over 44,000 coronavirus deaths over the course of the pandemic, according to a New York Times tracker.
