    You'd hope so.

        We are doomed

        My mother died yesterday.

        They just told me they've put it down to Covid 19.

        They tested her right? She's died. She was in a care home.

        NO THEY DIDN'T TEST HER !!!!!!

        The symptoms were not consistent with Covid 19. She got poorly the previous night and slipped away the following afternoon. The matron thinks it was sepsis.

        What the hell is going on in this god-forsaken country !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

          My condolences.

          After a 2 hours wait for 111 on Tuesday (following a 1 hour wait the night before until I had to tend to my sick wife) was told that they are not doing testing any more and to ring my GP if I had concerns.

              So sorry for your loss. Glad she passed peacefully, which is a blessing.

              Its been standard for years to misreport deaths. My mother died over 30 years ago from Cancer after years of fighting. On the death certificate they put heart attack not multiple organ failure caused by cancer. They wonder why they learn nothing from statistics.

              Nowadays they would probably mention she had smoked a cigarette or drank a glass of Cinzano so that was the cause of death.

              Sepsis of course exposes the nursing home to litigation so they aren't going to admit that.
              Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                      But we are now in the worst crisis in my lifetime and they are all in a complete shambles!!

                      The bottom line is we have to test, test, test and close the disease down ruthlessly. We're going to be worse than Italy as things stand.
