Supporting Nurses

[Vornwend]

I'm still working as are plenty of others, the country still needs water :wink:
Wouldn't say no to few weeks off, maybe when everyone else goes back to work, the people who had to work through this can have a break

I was listening to the radio while at work this morning and a guy phoned in to say his aunt had died after going into hospital in the final stages of COPD. She was tested when she took a turn for the worse and her Covid 19 result was negative. She died shortly after this test and the hospital put the cause of death as Covid 19 related ??

Sounds like a mistake. Unless its proven to be widespread I wouldn't feel very confident in reading too much into it. Its been reported that up to 1 in 4 deaths may have the incorrect cause of death recorded or at least not being consistently recorded. I guess it will always be difficult if there are multiple factors involved? Eg if someone with COPD and cancer dies while suffering from an episode of Pneumonia what is the right cause to cite?
