This has nothing to do with death panels............

In a war where the medics are overwhelmed with the injured they have always had to determine who’s going to live or die with or without treatment. It’s no different when hospital facilities and staff run out of resources and there’s not enough Vedicl peersonel or resources to cover everyone.

Even in emergncy rooms today.....you are treated according to the severity of what you’re there for when emergency rooms are packed to overflowing.

“ This has nothing to do with death panels..........”

I understand the problem with triage, but I still have a feeling that the Philly DA’s dad’s score would get padded enough for him to get treatment, while Joe Blow’s dad gets unplugged. That’s the problem with politically-tainted death panels.

Sounds like a Social Justice (NOT) plan in a D controlled government entity. (The 2A can restore it if you pack a hospital “go bag.”

Rush referenced a great story today about the overuse of ventilators in the treatment of COVID-19:

We all know that’s how it would work - for the first few days.

Well that’s just a fact of life as it is and not how we’d otherwise like it to be. Besides, at every level of work you’ve got the have and the have nots, those in with the in crowd and those not...the pecking order will always be.

This emergency, though painful and expensive, has been quite instructive as to how fast and under what circumstances some have been willing to go Third Reich on their own citizens.

... a spokeswoman for the Health Department merely told reporters, “The interim guidance that was sent to hospitals was a draft that was not meant for further distribution.

We weren't supposed to know.

And watch. If a volunteer agency were to try and take those in for treatment, they would prevent them from doing it.

That is how it would go. It happened in NAZI Germany and will happen here.

Death panels unmasked, too bad there are a surplus of ventilators and the unmasking was unnecessary.

Oops...

Universal Healthcare caught with its pants down.

I read that when it’s time to go on a ventilator, it’s usually too late, as only 5% of those patients survive. I have idea if the reports are true.
