Virus Victims Dying Alone

[derek-33]

I don't get this. I saw a young boy in the UK dying alone his parents were not allowed to be with him ..why not! You can't catch the virus from the young lad if you touch his face hands anywhere. you wash your hands thoroughly after you won't get it .and it's not spread airborne only if some coughs nearby there maybe a risk

The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health agree that this should not be happening, it's an awful situation.

sounds that he was a child ventilated in an adult unit

Such a sad, sad situation but surely it’s the fact that the parents maybe bringing the virus into the hospital without knowing it.

My heart goes out to the family.

sanmac
yes thats the one

I read he was put into an induced coma. Was he brought out of that before he died? Extremely sad.

Hopefully he wasnt, he would then have just slipped away quietly and we believe oblivious..

Absolutely horrific situation. Poor lad and his poor parents.

Testing might be a bit easier if there weren’t stumbling blocks.

The task this government has to deal with is enormous - unprecedented. Rather than constantly criticise it would be nice to see people supporting them. None of us like the situation we're in!
