Florida Struggling With COVID-19's Deadliest Phase Yet 

MIAMI - Funeral director Wayne Bright has seen grief piled upon grief during the latest COVID-19 surge. 

A woman died of the virus, and as her family was planning the funeral, her mother was struck down. An aunt took over arrangements for the double funeral, only to die of COVID-19 herself two weeks later.  "That was one of the most devastating things ever," said Bright, who also arranged the funeral last week of one of his closest friends.  Florida is in the grip of its deadliest wave of COVID-19 since the pandemic began, a disaster driven by the highly contagious delta variant.
