Hospital insists dead futsal player Sean Jayabalan had Covid-19
Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz UKM insists that Sean Jayabalan, who died in an apparent car accident in Kuala Lumpur last Tuesday, had tested positive for Covid-19.
Aliza Mansor, the hospital’s head of corporate communications and customer service, said Sean’s family members had been informed of the findings. The matter was explained further during a meeting yesterday between the next-of-kin, hospital representatives, and the police.
“We had the meeting and we explained that the deceased had tested positive for Covid-19,” said Aliza.
Sean’s father, G S. Jayabalan, however, reportedly said he would be taking legal action against the hospital, after claiming his 26-year-old son’s remains, today. Sean was cremated at the Subang Jaya City Council crematorium in Batu 14, Puchong, this afternoon.
“If the next-of-kin are still not satisfied with our explanation and want to take further action, there’s nothing much we can do,” Aliza added.
When told that Jayabalan had a screenshot of a report by the hospital stating that Sean had tested negative for Covid-19, Aliza said: “We are investigating the claims, and are working closely with the police on this.”
Jayabalan had lodged at least two police reports regarding the matter.
Sean’s sister, Kavisha, had also gone public by posting the police reports and a screenshot of the hospital report on her social media account.
Covid-19 tests are often not conclusive.
ReplyDeleteA person can test negative once, and test positive a few hours later.
Some positive tests also test negative later.
Don't learn the bad American habit of going to lawyers at the drop of a hat...wakakakqakaka...
Wow…
DeleteIf what u have described happen, then the ONLY conclusion is those who r performing the the covid tests r a shame of the profession they claim to represent!
Covid characteristic wouldn't change within hours. The virus incubation takes days - usually within 7-14 days.
Sometimes going to a lawyer is the only option!
DeleteWe must keep this option available to EVERYONE who feels a wrong had been perpetrated.
The science of this I got the detailed explanation from a specialist on the subject.
DeleteThere is a time window of a day or two , up to less than a week after virus exposure, where a person may have virus in parts of their airway, but does not have an actual internal body Covid-19 infection, and may or may not develop into an actual Covid-19 infection.
In this situation, it is hit or miss whether a PCR test shows poistive or negative, The other variable is, the person mmay not actually progress to a Covid-19 infection later., in which case, if you test 1b week later, it may be negative.
This Iis Biology, not Physics, and the cuncertainties are just greater.
So, that's the norm for virus incubation!
DeleteThen, what's that virus incubation inbyr fart?
Within 24 hrs?
Two days?
Do u have a 'specialist' worths that paper stating his/her name?
