Your last sentence crossed lips in our house. For his and their sakes its lovely but it will cause resentment.
My friend lost her husband in hospital, not covid related, last week - totally alone and she's finding this extremely hard. He'd not even been assessed at the community hospital he was moved to the day before...............

How does his family get to stay by his bedside, when the rest of the country are not allowed to be with their sick relatives?

My youngest son's partners father died in hospital a few weeks ago and the hospital, with a sense that this was about to happen, allowed close family in to see him a couple of times. However a dear friend of my other son's wife died alone of COVID in Eastbourne because she apparently didn't have any relatives in this country. The latter was a complicated story which I won't go into beyond what I have said.
