Florida coronavirus deaths surge past 6,000 with record 186 new reported fatalities By Richard Tribou Orlando Sentinel \| Jul 28, 2020 at 11:33 AM Florida reported its biggest day of coronavirus fatalities on Tuesday as the death toll among residents blew past 6,000. That includes 50 new reported deaths in Central Florida. Tuesday’s update from the Florida Department of Health showed 186 more reported fatalities for a death toll of 6,117. The state also reported five new deaths of non-Florida residents for another 123 fatalities to date.Hospitalizations statewide are up as well with a record 585 new patients to bring the total to 24,917 to date, of which 9,023 are currently hospitalized according to 10:30 a.m. numbers from the state’s tool for current patients, which is updated several times a day. This data does not differentiate between general hospital beds and intensive care units. Positive cases of COVID-19, though, have dipped below 10,000 for the third consecutive day with 9,230 new cases for a total of 441,977 cases to date, which is about one in every 50 residents.

Texas funeral homes can't escape virus ELSA, Texas — Johnny Salinas Jr., the owner of Salinas Funeral Home, typically handles five funerals a week. But on a recent day, with the coronavirus tearing through his community, he saw that many grieving families in a single day. A sixth family was waiting, too. His own. Mr. Salinas changed from a polo shirt into a crisp black suit and left his office for the chapel next door. The light blue coffin of his great-uncle, who died of Covid-19, sat at the front of the room, adorned with white flower arrangements and a wooden crucifix. “The virus is not sparing anyone,” Mr. Salinas said. “Not even my family.” In the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, where a surge of virus cases has set off a flood of deaths this month, funeral homes — like hospitals — are overloaded and struggling to carry out basic services and keep up with the expanding crisis. Local funeral homes, officials said, have not experienced such demand in decades. About one in 60 residents of Hidalgo County is known to have had the virus, and about one of every 2,000 people has died from the virus, a New York Times database shows. Hidalgo County now has one of the highest per capita death rates in the state. At the start of July, fewer than 50 deaths in Hidalgo County had been attributed to the virus, according to the database. By Monday, there had been almost 470. “It’s like a bad dream,” said Linda Ceballos, a co-director of Ceballos Funeral Home in McAllen. “You want to wake up, but you can’t.” The death toll is forcing funeral directors to bypass traditional services such as velorios, viewings that sometimes last for days and are filled with prayers, hugs and sorrowful Spanish-language songs. Instead, many funeral homes now are shortening viewing times and limiting attendance. Some have ordered large refrigerator trucks to store bodies until they can get to them. The virus’s spread seemed relatively under control in the area until the state reopened the economy in time for Memorial Day, local health officials said. Richard Cortez, the Hidalgo County judge, said the virus soon was wreaking damage through the region, where chronic disease and widespread poverty were already significant problems. More than 14,000 people have contracted the virus in El Valle, as the area is known to its mostly Latino residents. Mr. Cortez has been a constant presence on Spanish and English TV and radio, urging people to wear masks, wash their hands and — most important, he says — keep distant from older and vulnerable relatives. .
