Shakuntala Gaikwad, tested positive for Covid-19 a few days ago. She was isolated at home but her condition deteriorated due to old age, following which the family decided to move her to a hospital in Baramati.

On May 10, the elderly woman was taken to Baramati in a private vehicle. The family tried to secure a hospital bed for her in Baramati but were unable to. As they waited in the car, the woman fell unconscious and stopped moving. The family assumed that the woman had died. They also informed their relatives about the last rites.

The family took her back home and started preparing for cremation. As the relatives mourned the loss, the woman was placed on the bier for her final journey.

I think I can guess being cremated alive would sting a bit.

Better late than never. Modern-day Edgar Allen Poe.

“the woman fell unconscious and stopped moving. The family assumed that the woman had died.”

So who declared her death? Did they check for pulse, breathing? Anything? This sounds like a Monty Python sketch...bring out yer dead...

..being cremated alive would sting a bit.

‘Bring Out Yer Dead’ PING!

Hmmmm, I suppose so, it is COVID related after all...

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

The false positive rate was 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

Quarantine the sick. Protect the vulnerable. Free everyone else.

India is a s-—hole.

Another complication from the vaccine: unintended cremation.

Sometimes, people (to the untrained) can appear dead...not the first time it has been reported to happen.
