Not covid
A friend lost his son and battled the coroner over the declaration that his son died from covid, as without an autopsy it was a false declaration. Eventually he was authorised at his own considerable expense to have the body transported to a facility that determined the cause of death to be not covid.
The son had had an earlier serious health problem but was advised by 111 to isolate at home whereas he should have gone to A&E which might have saved his life.
It would seem that it is an easy cop out to write covid on the death certificate as it saves the hassle of an investigation into a sudden death from unknown causes.
My point is that we do not have the full information as to the actual Covid deaths or those which have been caused by the procedures put in place because of the epidemic. All we have in the end are the total death toll in comparison with previous years.
