Scotland's figures include anyone dying who tested positive in the previous 28 days. Maybe you'd like PMs carried out on everyone who dies and tie up vast resources doing that? I would like that please as I have a directionless anger that reality is not behaving the way my worldview thinks it should. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Yes. He has a world view, and a new thing come along that is random, and does not fit in with a society of pure individuals with a proper strong figure head to make everything right. We can be sympathetic to that, should we not?

GUBRATS Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Nasir Afzal , former chief prosecutor on BBC Breakfast earlier , his brother was diagnosed with covid , so started self isolation , after a week later , one morning he didn't wake up , possible heart attack compounded by covid but they aren't sure due to no post mortems being done anymore The Morgues are all full , so they sat in full ppe for the Muslim undertakers to arrive , originally told 6 hours , ended up being the day after due to the sheer number of bodies they are collecting His brothers wishes were as many request was to be returned back to Pakistan to the family grave , but that isn't going to happen as no flights , all the Muslim cemeteries over here are full , his brothers body is now in refrigerated storage till they can decide what to do with it Again , no lockdown or too early out and you multiply this scenario by ten , or by a hundred , or a thousand , every day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbruce Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 These figures aren’t counting anyone dying in the community or care homes. Also isn’t there a real danger with all this isolation that people are currently dead in their homes or flats and won’t be pick up on until all this is over.

As I mentioned earlier, one of the big issues is that GPs who visit the care homes don’t have the full or even partiaL PPE and so are reduced to wearing tea towels. Imagine how many elderly and infirm are being infected through this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I've never seen before however is every hospital in the country having their ICU full of patients with exactly the same illness, at the same time, with many of them failing to recover. I've never seen such a huge demand increase for ICU capacity so dramatically and quickly for this reason also. It's amazing how some people seem to find the current risks so difficult to comprehend.

And the mental toll on the staff dealing with this , as much as they see death essentially every day , the sheer numbers involved , combined with the fact they cannot ' treat ' this illness , all they can do is try to keep them alive until the patients body either fights through it , or they die , by virtually choking to death So when I hear " oh we're at the peak now , we can lift everything in a couple of weeks " , yes cracking idea , I'm sure the nurses and doctors will be fine when we extend their stress for another month or two , and the potential for them to become infected and die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swab and test for Covid-19, if it's there, job done. Please don't tell me that this isn't happening. Sadly we have turned into a nation of terrified Mary Ellens.

JohnM Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Question for anyone on hetr who is qualified to answer: is a PM always carried out if the suspected cause of death is heart attack or other heart disease.? When a resident dies for whatever reason, does a GP have to attend a care home in person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pen-Y-Bont Crusader Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Not sure on either nor am qualified. However My mum passed away in a care home. We had to wait hours for a gp to arrive and confirm death so i guess so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
