Has the Queen died?

And so it begins:

www.independent.co.uk

Man wanted to tell Queen ‘to get out of her f***ing coffin because she’s not dead’

Man is among two people charged with public order offences in Westminster Hall, while a third man is accused of sexually assaulting women in queue

began days ago with people saying the coffin was empty because the original funeral parlour was told to take off its badge
as it was not ok to gain publicity for being involved in the queens funeral
 
Proud to say I haven't seen one bit of the whole thing.

had someone fit new power sockets in the house yesterday and the leccy was off most of the day :D
 
I was just watching the Always Sunny podcast where they're discussing how willy's schoolchums must have viewed him.

Also I had been wondering whether there were any uh attempts at disruption and I came across them doing this.



I believe her majesty is guiding my browsing from the grave bless er.
 
Worth remembering that at 96, your life expectancy is in any case only about 3 years on average. Not sure what the median life is, but I would expect it is probably within 2 years.
 
Yes, I find it useful to look at risk of death in the next year by age and sex, eg the stuff on this site:

Risk of death by age and sex

Royalty brings various advantages that probably skew the statistics where they are concerned, but the fundamentals obviously cannot be dodged.

A more complete analysis of the role of covid in her decline and death would require us to have information about her medical history. We've been treated to almost zero information about that, we only know when she had covid, and that she was admitted to hospital for tests the previous October, the details of which I dont believe were made public at all. 'mobility issues' were used as a cover for whatever the full story was.
 
Someone said to me that foreign press were reporting she had bone cancer. Of course that could be based on absolutely nothing.

Well at the very least thats what controversial self-publicist, shirt-stirrer and gossip Lady Colin Campbell said, although she often avoided the word cancer. She also gave the time of death as 2.37pm.

In any case thats just the most obvious and recent source of the bone cancer rumour, it was actually doing the rounds earlier than that. I think the bone cancer rumour made it a few sections of the press in August.

I obviously lack the means to substantiate such rumours. So Im left with banal statements about how by refusing to confirm or deny rumours or provide more detail, rumours will inevitably take on a life of their own.

More plausible than dying of old fucking age.

Old age increases the risk of death in all manner of ways but there is still a cause of death that is specific. In some cases that actual underlying cause may not have been discovered, so the UK death certificate guidance does allow 'old age' to be listed as the cause of death, but only in certain narrow circumstances:


4.3 Avoid ‘old age’ alone
Old age, ‘senility’ or ‘frailty of old age’ should only be given as the sole cause of death in very limited circumstances. These are that:
  • You have personally cared for the deceased over a long period (years, or many months)
  • You have observed a gradual decline in your patient's general health and functioning
  • You are not aware of any identifiable disease or injury that contributed to the death
  • You are certain that there is no reason that the death should be reported to the coroner

You may mention old age or frailty as a contributory cause, especially if it explains the severe effect of a condition that is not usually fatal. If the immediate cause of death was Covid-19 or its consequences, and the patient had no specific pre-existing health conditions, but appears to have been especially vulnerable to Covid-19 or its effects because of old age or frailty, it is appropriate to state old age as contributing to the death.

You should bear in mind that coroners, crematorium referees, registrars and organisations that regulate standards in health and social care, may ask you to support your statement with information from the patient's medical records and any investigations that might have a bearing on the cause of death. You should also be aware that the patient’s family may not regard old age as an adequate explanation for their relative’s death and may request further investigation.

It is unlikely that patients would be admitted to an acute hospital if they had no apparent disease or injury. It follows that deaths in acute hospitals are unlikely to fulfil the conditions above. You can specify old age as the underlying cause of death, but you should also mention in part one or part two, as appropriate, any medical or surgical conditions that may have contributed to the death.

On a team call just now. My American boss asked us (there's only me and one other person in the UK) if we'd watched it all on TV. I replied 'nope, didn't watch any of it' (and very likely rolled my eyes) just as my colleague said, 'yes, I watched it all.'

Everyone else is like :hmm: and I attempt to explain things by lightheartedly saying 'I think me and [colleague] may be on different sides on this one'.

'There aren't any sides', he says very snippily, 'it's a historic occasion, why would you NOT watch it?'

🤣

Your boss sounds like a bit of a dick.
 
A colleague remarked on our teams call that the whole day had made them “proud to be British”.
I mimed zipping my lips and my boss changed the subject rapidly.
 
Sounds a bit like the sentiments in Seb Coe’s Olympics closing ceremony speech

I had similar messages in WhatsApp groups, “regardless of your views on the monarchy we have done a good job with the worlds eyes on us”.

Just a big yawn from me.
 
when you are 96 a gust of wind has a chance of killing you
also sleeping arrangements in mind plenty of people have different sleep arrangement
but at that age couples don't tend to last that long when one of them clocks it


even johnny cash dies a few days after his missus

On a work call explaining why I had to decline a meeting on Monday.

'So yeah, we had an unexpected day off because the queen died.' 🤷‍♀️

American and German colleagues look like they think they should say something (condolences or some such) but clock that I'm not exactly looking upset. So they say nothing but look a bit uncomfortable.

My Spanish colleague is like 🤷‍♂️.

(((countries with shit monarchies)))
