The rate of Covid 19 deaths has increased in 42 US states in the last week, according to new data, as the spread of the more virulent coronavirus Delta variant has upended a spring of reopenings and led to increasing concern headed into autumn. In 14 states, Covid 19 deaths increased by more than 50% over the past week, while another 28 states saw an uptick of at least 10%, data from Johns Hopkins University. In Alabama, one of the hardest-hit states in the latest surge, overall hospitalization numbers continue to climb, driving health officials to use mobile trailers to house bodies because Covid 19 deaths are soaring, state health officer Dr. Scott Harris said, reported CNN.
The state activated two of its four refrigerated trailers for the first time since the pandemic began, Harris said, in Mobile and Baldwin counties this week. “These are typically held in case of a mass casualty event for example, when a large number of bodies appear at one time. This is actually a situation that is happening in Alabama hospitals now,” Harris said. “We have enough people dying … that there is no room to put these bodies,” he added. Meanwhile at least 5,571 Alabama children tested positive for Covid 19 last week, Harris said, noting that officials aren’t sure where the children contracted the virus. The state currently has a 23% Covid 19 positivity rate, among the highest in the nation, Harris said, as reported by CNN.
