I agree it would be cruel to send someone who is going to die into a hospital setting - they should be 'at home' with people who are familiar and in familiar surroundings ..... I wouldn't want it for my family if in that situation.
My SIL is a Senior Carer at a care home - they had PPE 'in a box' ready for if Covid19 broke out, but weren't to open said box until they had a case, They do at least have visors, but no gowns - then he comes home to my daughter and Granddaughters! He has also had a certify a death on Facetime so that the poorly paid GP (who will have got a tasty fee out of it too) didn't have to come in and put himself at risk!! I told him to ask for half the fee next time time or make the GP come and do what he is paid extra for! It is now spreading and they have had positive cases, although he hasn't been able to be tested (as would have to drive 2 hours there and back and have no car!), he may well have had it as went through a week of mild symptoms - who knows? He now needs an anti-body test, nothing else is worth doing now.
