• Why no stories on hospice care in the United States relating to covid19 statistics (hospice has been removed from our common lexicon)? I’ve asked you this before, I know.
• Why no stories on the earnings of publicly held life insurance companies ?
• Why no stories about strategies written about the myriad of home health care providers in this country? What is their role in lessening hospital stays in the last 18 months. Did they play a role?
• Why know detailed explanation of how excess deaths are calculated – what are the excess death estimates for the next 5 years? I assume the data is easily found.
• No actuaries providing keen information and insights?
• Detailed investigations and stories of the traveling nurse industry ? I know several, interesting stories to say the least. Mostly regarding compensation.
• No keen insights from the coroners industry? The inexact science of “cause of death” in the last 100 years.

There are, your just not goin to see it in the news. I lost my wife a while ago, and it was a month before I got her remains back in the urn I ordered. They told me some funeral homes were only doing cremation because of covid (embalming not required) and while they have some supply chain issues with coffins, it's more an issue with urns because of that.
Not sure where you're located but all bodies in our state have to be embalmed including those that are to be cremated. If they weren't dead prior to their "visit", they were certainly dead afterwards.
yeah, I should have clarified that, I'm in Maryland and they don't have to be embalmed if cremated unless the body still has to be identified
PA here and they had to do it to my mother when she died in 2017.
Really? They said since my wife died in Hospice she didn't have to be IDed and even had me sign a piece of paper saying they hadn't told me it had to be done because of federal oversight of funeral homes. To be fair, the home I chose does their own cremations so maybe if they still have to be transported to another one for it?
