she also says "4 vans deep", "no end in sight" I'm pretty sure "stacked to the ceiling" is a figure of speech in this case. the only good metric is that they were doing 4 funerals a day before delta up to 8 now.

Complete fear mongering click bait title with zero data to prove higher deaths versus any period in the past.

Full of quotes like “WESH called 20 funeral homes and crematories and many were too busy to be a part of our story”

When did that become journalism

Here’s a source with stats: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/25/us/florida-covid-deaths.h...

> This week, 227 virus deaths were being reported each day in Florida, on average, as of Tuesday, a record for the state and by far the most in the United States right now. The average for new known cases reached 23,314 a day on the weekend, 30 percent higher than the state’s previous peak in January
