Interview on 5 news now

A woman who is campaigning for justice because her 98 year old dad died with covid-19 mentioned on his death certificate. Come on. He was 98 year old and died of a natural virus. What exactly did she expect?

Then to make the interview even weirder the interviewer relied on the most uncaring robotic way possible "I'm. Sorry. For. Your. Loss. Why did you decide to join this group?" No caring or compassion, nothing genuine at all just a robotic forced sympathy.

 

I was talking to Mineworkers Pension Committee Member the other day in Tarn.
Lots of old miners have died have had Covid put on their death certificate - when much of the cause of death relates to Pneumoconiosis.

And doctors told by Government not to do autopsy because of Covid.
And guess what - no compensation from the government if cause of death is Covid.

 

Well you got what you voted for.

 

And this is your understanding of how doctors carry out their duties and responsibilities?

 

On the flip side though every extra death they put down to covid I more pressure on them to spend money on things like furlough

 

google <guidance for doctors completing medical certificates for cause of death>

in the example you give Covid would be noted as the 'disease leading to death,'

Pneumoconiosis should be listed as 'another significant condition.'

 

It should be noted - but isn’t.
So no compensation paid out.
