How many non-Covid victims have died unusual deaths in recent weeks?

Now this is something odd to state. 3 pm and the day should almost be over anyway. But hey, get back to work and quit being a girly-man.

Yikes!  What a horrific and tragic workplace accident.  Thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of the victim.  Moving forward, there needs to be a thorough investigation and safety measures/protocols need to be enhanced.  The goal must be to prevent this from ever happening again or at least decrease the chances of this from happening again.

The covid test results will come back Monday? If positive how would his death be reported?

Here you do a western assumption that the country takes lessons learned.

Living here longer then a blue Monday I can assure you that's not the case.

A chipper/shredder would be a really useful too for our farm.  It's a tool where you feed branches into it and it fires wood chips out the end.

The reason why we do not have one is because I know sooner or later some numb nuts would manage to feed an arm, their head or whatever through the machine.
