Death

published In his first diary for The Bbc , on Monday, 30. March, Dr John Wright , Bradford Royal Infirmary, reported on his hospital preparations for the coronavirus-storm. In The Last few days, has started to storm, put all involved Under great stress.

Not long ago, The Hospital had only isolated a few Covid-positive patients in the room. At the beginning of This Week , we had two full stations with a "red" or infectious zones. And two more red A Day later.

One of The Most hackneyed phrases that we, as doctors, "It's just a Virus . "It soothes our patients, and it reveals Our Own uncertainty. The devastation effected by the Corona-Virus , for many, was so unexpected.

Wednesday, 14 of our patients died.

This is one of the big issues around Covid-19 - its high Death rate. So, while less than one in 100 of those who get it die for you, if you are in The Hospital , that goes up to one in five or in six patients.

We Are accustomed to, People die in The Hospital , because it often die a place where People . However, typically We Are reflective in our practice, we time, and Time Is a great tool for us in Health Care . But in The Hospital today, we make rapid decisions about life and Death - decisions about the ventilation, about the escalation of care and in decision-making about end-of-life care.

palliative care consultant Dr Clare Rayment says, none of us want to get it wrong.

Prof John Wright , a physician and epidemiologist, is head of the Bradford Institute for Health Research. He cares for patients in epidemics around The World , including cholera, HIV, and ebola outbreaks in Africa South of the Sahara. In The Next few weeks he will be reporting for The Bbc , such as The Hospital , the Bradford Royal Infirmary, copes with Covid-19.

read his first diary entry:

"There's not a lot of thought about these rationing decisions, because it is something We Are used to in the UK," she says.

"I think in other countries it is something you might be used to talking about. We Are accustomed to, People die in The Hospital , but We Are not used to say, 'You're going to die, because I can not enter the ventilator because someone needs you more. '"

Many of us have parents, and we worry that these decisions such as these are on the basis of the age of the patient.

However, the age is only one Factor .

"We should recognize, as A Society , are so many 80-year-old is actually in a better physical and mental shape than some 65-year-old. That 80-year-old should not be written off," says Dr. Alex Brown, a consultant in the care of the elderly.

Another feature of Covid-19 is that People die alone. Hardly anyone is allowed to visit in The Hospital .

So The Challenge is to think ", about how we can best ensure that People , the good deaths, in an environment where their family are members of likely to," Clare says Rayment.

technology is a part of The Answer .

"If someone wants to be there when someone dies, we can't call this in a video? It is out of any comfort zone, but it could be very important for a patient, if you are awake enough to see in the situation, your wife or whoever on The Phone ," she says. "And also to see the, wife, husband, daughter, whoever it is, that your loved one is comfortable, not distressed. "

Emma Barnes, the older sister for the respiratory tract communities, says to me that, although the members of the family not to The Hospital , some are still of travel in the vicinity of your loved ones, and sitting in their cars in the Parking lot.

she has also the emotional stress is noted, that employees are Under - People , the crying in a corner, or to admit that you cry when you come home and hide them from their children. She has matured the idea of being in a room as a "wobble-room", where The Hospital -go, employees can, for a moment, if you are feeling emotionally shaky.

I think it is a massive sleep disorders for the employees, because our normal routine is disrupted suddenly Total. I think the guards through The Night you self.

So many things have changed so quickly. It is barely two months since The First Covid-19 diagnosed patients in the UK. And yet, The Number of cases has now exceeded 30,000.

were used In the 16Th Century , measles and smallpox by the Spanish conquistadors to all municipalities, which have no immunity. This Virus took 100 years to conquer America. Covid-to conquer 19 100 Days to The World .
