Discussing death during Coronavirus Pandemic // UK DOCTOR // Covid-19 Vlog #8

 

A difficult subject this one. I had the pleasure of a fireside chat with Dr Steve Jenkins on the subject of death during the Coronavirus pandemic. We discuss death rates and their limitations, risks to different ages, how we discuss the subject of death in hospital. Any views expressed in this vlog are entirely my own and not those of my employer.
