To prepare, hospitals should designate a triage team with the Godlike task of deciding who will and who won’t get lifesaving care, the task force wrote. Those out of luck are the people at high risk of death and a slim chance of long-term survival. But the recommendations get much more specific, and include:
People older than 85.
Those with severe trauma, which could include critical injuries from car crashes and shootings.
Severely burned patients older than 60.
Those with severe mental impairment, which could include advanced Alzheimer’s disease.
Those with a severe chronic disease, such as advanced heart failure, lung disease or poorly controlled diabetes.

I think I will refrain from posting my feelings about this article.
All I'm going to say is that if these people think there ivory tower will protect them from the "flu" they may be right. However, there is plenty else they should be worried about.

Whatever happened to saving lives—as many as possible? This reminds me of the “Values Clarification” stuff that has been in schol; i.e. if you have to throw someone over from a lifeboat, who would you toss and why?

Basic Rule of Life: Always, always be highly suspicious of a self appointed "task force whose members come from prestigious universities, medical groups, the military and government agencies."
Obama, Pelosi, and the rest of the democrats are drooling and can't wait to start murdering the frail, the infirm, and the defenseless.

How time and value have changed.
Just about a century ago, the captain of the Titanic had to make difficult decisions too. Amazingly, the weak and the most vulnerable weren’t left on board to perish. Was the captain wrong? Would he make the same decision today? Just wondering. Afterall, we still call him a hero.

First standard medicine needs to come up with an effective flu treatment, and then they can have the hubris to have this discussion. Right now, once you get sick with the flu it’s up to God, not your doctor, whether you survive.
Those of us who take 2000 IU of vitamin D daily feel somewhat protected from the flu. God helps those who help themselves.

In a real pandemic, we won't be "letting" people die. They'll be doing that all by themselves.
There will have to be some sort of orderly way to select hospital level of care, once all the hospitals are full.
