If you keep it long enough, you might be able to trade it in for a variant in time. Now, where's me intubation?" You just don't get to see COVID patients.

Could be the worlds first virtual state funeral.People could pay to log on to watch with the money going to the NHS ! Or is that a really dumb and unworkable idea? Or maybe as a tribute to his charity walk they could just carry his coffin round the cathedral 100 times before burying him ! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bentrovato 1,084 Posted February 2, 2021 The BBC are obviously a bit worried not to miss the end. His story disappeared from the opening "welcome to the BBC" page of their site overnight and was shoved into general news. But it popped up again on the opening page early this morning. Do they know something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean 6,283 Posted February 2, 2021 23 hours ago, Elephant said: Can't find it to have been mentioned, but he told doctors not to resuscitate him in September after a fall. Even if he didn't have one upon going into the hospital the family would have been encouraged to have signed one by now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure that is against the rules or is it because he is famous now. When you think of all the people that have died 'alone' in hospital or care home where their family has not been allowed to visit because of covid restrictions, I know that I would be a bit upset if it were my family.

Not sure if it's a national thing, but in these parts people are allowed to visit family members if they are about to die. Which is compassionate, but also nuts as hospitals are the best place to go if you want to catch, and spread, Covid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
