My uncle, who needs dialysis thrice a week, was denied the procedure after the hospital insisted he get a #Covid negative report, said my aunt.
My uncle got a test done a few days ago, the result hasn't come yet, dialysis didn't happen, and now he's DEAD. He's no more. Gone.

His son, my cousin, is in the ICU, getting treated for #Covid, unaware that his father is no more. My bua, her daughter & son-in-law are managing things. None of us can visit. We've lost count of the no. of the number of people we've list to #Covid since 2020.

This delay in getting the #Covid test result cost him his life. He was old, he was sick but he died because he couldn't get dialysis. I am so angry. My family is devastated. This is the 10th relative we've lost.

Yesterday, my dad lost his college lecturer, and two college seniors -- all to #Covid. Today, my friend lost her naani to #Covid, while her mum is in the ICU in a critical state. We are beyond grief-stricken now. We are devastated.

People are NOT figures. Don't let this heartless govt, & its cheerleaders ever tell you that things are okay. Entire families are left broken, we grieve in little corners of our homes, alone. Mom & I have #Covid, & we couldn't even hug Papa as he wept silently for uncle.

I'm only just reading all the messages. I angrily typed it out, and muted the thread. Thank you all for your kindness. My cousin is back home from the hospital, thankfully. It's only when he returned home that he found out about his father's passing away.
