Coronavirus doctor's diary: 'Fake news makes patients think we want them to die'

Conspiracy theories have been spreading within parts of the BAME community that hospital staff want them to die, reports Dr John Wright of Bradford Royal Infirmary - meanwhile, figures suggest an increase in deaths in the city outside hospital., and this is a big concern in Bradford, where almost a third of our population is of South Asian heritage.

I know from my work in epidemics in Africa that where there is fear and panic, and patients become isolated from their families, it doesn't take long for rumours and fake news stories to start circulating. Here's one, which is totally false:"Please don't show my details. I work for BRI hospital trust. I am begging all the[community], if you have any health condition please do NOT go to hospital. You will not come back alive from this trust… Also have your daily black seed oil which prevents all disease."

"I've had patients who want to self-discharge because they think we're trying to kill them. I've had a patient a couple of weeks ago, who wanted to self-discharge because her family was messaging her telling her that if she dies in our care, we won't tell them and we'll just burn her body. These are the things that are being spread around," a nurse, Sophie Bryant-Miles, tells me.

Then dont watch the bbc ....its the biggest fake news outlet out there

I wounder why ?

UK recovery rate is None but death rate is very high and adding everday to the death toll

Biggest culprit spreading fake news is piers Morgan.

We are not fearing hospital staff as they are as helpful and lovely as ever. But the lack of ppe and support from government that doesn’t reassurance us how safe it is to enter hospital!

The biggest disappointment through this crisis is whilst the vast majority of the public act responsible and follow the government guidelines the BBC are trying really hard to sow discontent and uncertainty among the people

This is another sample of how MSM twist stories for their own narrative, ignoring the truth. They're all the same

That's correct especially when we heard there is no post mortems being done.. Very scary.

Take note BBC

The human cost of FakeNews

I'm on dialysis and I have heard that if kidney patients get it they will be let to die

The bbc did this gaslightingcovid bbc are covidcriminals

Hard to understand the mind of anyone who would spread false news at this time

Labour Activists spring to mind like before the general election making up stories about no beds.

What happened to social distancing. Hardly makes Nurses look good.

BBC Fake News

What the term Ummati enclosed within the BBC article means:

NO 1 DONT TRUST WHAT YOU SEE IN THE MEDIA, anyone found filming in these areas should be questioned. No moral compass when acute care is involved esp with the media. Using it all the time as a ball game! Why use the nhs as a polictical game!

This is called 'Gaslighting' Trumps gangsters are guilty of this strategy!! It continues with KGB assistance!

The comment about black seed oil should tell everyone this person's a crank and to ignore them.

Don't watch the BBC then

Its tru spreading false news on diseases like cervid19 or any is no longer funny when it really endangers lives

Your point being.

...

'Fake news' - Tory brexiteers. 'Luggenpresse (lying press)' - Hitler.

Maybe the media need to act more professionally with facts. Will that happen? Doubt it. Facts don't make money for them does it, idle gossip and scare mongering does.

Well the BBC are experts in all classes of fake news.

BBC reporting on fake news haha the irony

Be careful too much propaganda will turn you into a CHINAZI.

The irony of the BBC warning of the dangers of fake news .... 🤨

ie piersmorgan makes patients and NHS workers fear the Government is trying to kill them

In Scotland it’s old people.Many Independence supporters blame their votes in them not being successful in ‘14.

This whole thing has been surreal instead of constant boris update which the majority dont care about ......shine the light on this war on class and how poor people a being refused and dropping like flies

You are FAKE NEWS MEDIA 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Shouldn’t patients also wear PPE?

And nobody is doing more fake news than the BBC at the moment. You must start to be honest and stop using labour activists as some kind of experts, the trust the nation has in the bbc is at an all time low most people would like to see the license scrapped now. Do better

Is there no SocialDistancing for staff ? Visiting not allowed, but staff can cuddle ( in no PPE ) ?

The BBC are top of the list for the fake news. Rotten these last few weeks

Says fake news facilitator!

Ah fake news the modern day curse often from the very mouths whose job is to bring the real news and facts ?

Yup.
