Other deaths being recorded as Coronavirus

Hello, my friend is a nurse. She told me that she is questioning the deaths which are being recorded as Coronavirus. She said that she had a patient dying of Cancer, but it was recorded as Coronavirus

I saw another nurse here on mumsnet say the same thing. She said that she had a patient that was dying of cancer, but they recorded it as Coronavirus.

What do you think?

And yet an idiot replies Hmm when a spade is a spade!!

Hingeandbracket · 22/04/2020 12:38

OP, I will ask again because you (as I predicted) didn't answer -

What do you think all world governments are gaining from this "control" exactly?

TheClaws · 22/04/2020 12:46

I can't wait until the world evolves to the next stage

What do you predict this might be?

LilacTree1 · 22/04/2020 12:50

OP

If the next stage is people seeing through this, I fear we have a long wait.

Look what Edward Snowden went through and nobody cares.

Mittens030869 · 22/04/2020 12:54

@TheClaws I suspect the OP sees this in terms of the film 'The Omen' with Boris Johnson in the role of Damian. I don't know what the next part will be, maybe he'll come back as Prime Minister with super hero powers after recovering from this non existent virus?

You've cheered me up, OP, especially with the thought that this virus I'm suffering from might not be real at all

DappledThings · 22/04/2020 13:07

But then why does everyone follow the UK government so blindly?
Are you now talking about in general or about lockdown? That's the thing with conspiracy theorists, lots of lurching from point to point. Lots of people have queried the lockdown at various levels. There is never an "everyone".

I can't wait until the world evolves to the next stage
Please tell me you are about to mention Q-ANON and tick off another box on the bingo card.

Grin I suppose all the elite are about to be arrested by Trump - except h is one of the elite. Oops. He’ll have to arrest himself.

Spaceprincess · 22/04/2020 13:37

@TheClaws I'm hoping its Ponyta!

CuriousaboutSamphire · 22/04/2020 14:28

I can't wait until the world evolves to the next stage And what would that be? Something along the Scientology route?

Or something more angel based, maybe with added unicorns?

Or the more ethereal breatharianism perhaps? Critters of light and air are we!!!!

Pshaw!

LilacTree1 · 22/04/2020 15:26

I have no idea what half these references are. I’m not big on conspiracy though.

startrek90 · 22/04/2020 15:42

This person is bonkers.

For what it's worth I reckon the death toll is about to rocket up once thy start properly including care homes.

My mum manages a care home and has just recovered from the coronavirus (thank goodness) unfortunately not all irf her residents or colleagues have. They still can't get access to PPE. This is going to get way worse I fear Sad

I really worry about my mum getting ill again and what all this is going to do to the staff in these places.

I know an elderly lady who had been 'dying' for many months, she got the virus and died quite quickly; the death is being treated as a Covid death. Whilst it is sad of course, she was dying from a multitude of other things for a long time, so I agree that there will definitely be some deaths which are skewing the already skewed data even further.

NHS GUIDANCE FOR DOCTORS

starlightgazers · 22/04/2020 18:08

I’m a nurse, and I’m laughing my head off at the supposed ‘nurse informant‘ here mentioning a person in hospital being one hospice care’ and ‘what government body am I supposed to report to’....

I’m also still looking on the ONS link given for proof that car crash and industrial deaths have increased over the last 4 weeks...

OP you are, really irresponsibility, talking complete bollocks here. Covid-19 is sadly a very real threat, that is killing many many people before there time, so do what you are being advised to do to keep safe and stop spreading nonsense dressed up as fact. And btw, you won’t find many HCP’s within the NHS ‘blindly believe the government’, quite the opposite, instead they base their views on facts rather than nonsense, you should try it.

starlightgazers · 22/04/2020 18:09

Apologies for typos - glare on my screen

Coronabored · 22/04/2020 18:15

Apparently care home deaths are on a par with the expected norm, so don't think anything has rocketed.

Are you saying it shouldn't be treated as Covid because she had underlying conditions?

So she died because of it then...

Just like the man with terminal cancer who was stabbed to death in my village a few years back died from being stabbed, no one considered the fact he was dying as changing the actual thing that made his heart stopped beating

Precisely. I can't see a defence that the victim would soon have died anyway going down well with the court, can you? Hmm

lyralalala · 22/04/2020 18:38

It’s amazing how easily people have written off so many other people.

No one says this about anything else. Not even flu season.

Can you imagine if you told someone that someone else had been knocked down and they replied “och well she was diabetic anyway” or “Did you hear that Mary died of flu, I mean I know she was only 45, but she had asthma so hey ho shit happens”

It’s so callous and bizarre

EmeraldShamrock · 22/04/2020 21:10

It seems the UK and Ireland are purposely keeping the number of deaths published low by only counting hospital deaths. I can't see why you believe the doctor would forge a few death certs to bump numbers when the aim appears to be keeping them down.

Mimishimi · 22/04/2020 22:58

Crawling out like cockroaches... ?? Now where has the terminology been used before?

TheClaws · 22/04/2020 23:43

Now I can’t liken these idiotic conspiracy theory lemmings to cockroaches without being called a Nazi. I could find that offensive but actually it’s just ridiculous . Well done Mimishimi.

Annamaria14 · 23/04/2020 08:48

Well done Mimishimi - but I mean it. Well done.

The nazis called the Jews cockroaches.

I just wonder how many people in Germany at the time, thought that the Nazi government was great, and could do no wrong.

And if someone brought up the idea, "hey maybe the nazis are actually awful, and you know thugs, and are stealing people's houses".

I wonder would those people have been laughed at and shouted down as conspiracy theorists.

It seems like people have always been incredibly naive.

You are doing a great job here OP of wittering vaguely about dodgy governments, a change in the world and universal naivety and yet still making no attempt to answer multiple questions about what you actually think is happening and what you think our government might be gaining from this.

So I'm going to continue to assume you don't actually have any real ideas, just a vague sense of "Ohh, government BAD. People SILLY" and that you really only started this because you're bored.
