A "body" from a Shanghai nursing home was found alive when being taken to the morgue, as the city’s Covid-19 outbreak and prolonged lockdown stretch aged-care facilities and medical facilities to breaking point. A video shared online saw funeral home staff took the elderly from Shanghai Xinchangzheng Welfare Hospital but found he still had vital signs. They then dragged out the body bag, telling the nursing home workers, "Alive, see, don't cover him any more." While the nursing home apologized, the error has triggered widespread anger and condemnation among Chinese people, according to discussions on social media. The nursing care resident has been sent to the hospital for treatment and their vital signs are stabilizing, local media reported.
