Horrible as well as shocking. Not a pleasant way to go.
Some years ago I read a book called "How We Die", written by a retired doctor. He detailed some of the many deaths he had witnessed in his career and pointed that many people die in horrible, agonising ways, and that the cliche "peacefully, at home" is sometimes a tactful fib. Details of the processes of death have always been taboo and not discussed, much the same as what goes on in abbatoirs is not discussed.
BUT NOW, with covid, we are being told the gory details as if nobody has ever died in horrible agony ever before, and the man in the street will regale you with the graphic horrors of a covid death.
There is nothing too unusual about covid - what is unusual is the government's handling of it.
