Chinese social media was fuming after a Shanghai nursing home made a near-grave mistake by sending one of its residents to the morgue while she was still alive. In the uploaded video from May 1 shot by a bystander, nursing home staff in protective suits removed a yellow body bag containing the 75-year-old from a hearse after the mortician noticed it was moving. Putuo District authorities said the senior was taken to hospital, and they have punished five people connected to the case. Caixin reported the nursing home lacked medical professionals because of cutbacks. The case has since triggered public discussions about the state of China’s nursing homes, with many concerned that similar cases have occurred amid Shanghai’s ongoing pandemic lockdown.
