My wife and I were hoping to avoid a funeral as we both carry body donor cards (as well as organ donor cards) but UTS has suspended body collections whilst the virus is rampant.

So you both better take extra special care then. Is no good getting all cut up about it Ron.

I read the article. With all the precautions taken, the only reason I can find to go against the decision is that now every one should have the same opportunity. The only reason the government can give for that not to happen is that there are not enough Police to enforce the appropriate precautions for every one. This is a divisive decision, and I'd just like to know, are you against it because of the health concerns, or the fact it should be one in , all in.?

Although not really worried,we got a bit on,and once these places open again,if they ever do,some gear won't have liked the rest.

So we will be racing around fixing it.
Hopefully they have the money to pay.

Refrigerant leaks,noisey bearings,destroyed compressors,and on it will go...
Sump heater,did it really need to be warm for 24hrs before it was turned on?

Ditto here, it has slowed right down in the last two weeks although I did have a 3:30 am callout this morning.
The third AH call since Monday evening.

If they'd only waited 'till 6 so I was off call!!

I agree with both of your points.

* One in - all in.

* Elderly people attend funerals (in general) and they are at the greatest risk.
