Bystanders 'refused to carry out CPR' after heart attack in Sydney's Chinatown

I think this headline captures it pretty well too.

(And I hope I don't have to add, if you don't want to do mouth to mouth , just chest compression will also work quite well as per your First Aid training)

I thought the current recommendation was to do chest compressions only without rescue breathing, anyway?

[sushid → dragonwriter]

I don’t think that’s true anymore. My recent training a few months ago covered the rescue breathing portion. But we were told to just do the chest compressions if we were concerned about disease transmission and or didn’t have a breathing mask in the defib kit.

Correct, but with the current virus alertness people would just rather not go near the person.

The scene would'nt be much different in a develop country, would it ?
