CORONAVIRUS patients in Britain could be turned away from hospitals if medics cannot cope with the amount of cases they have on their hands, a doctor has warned
The NHS woud adopt a so-called “three wise men” system if the number of infected Britons reached catastrophic levels. Three senior consultants in each hospital would be forced to ration care such as beds and ventilators if hospitals were unable to cope with the sheer scale of the crisis.
The protocol would mean weaker patients who stand less of a chance of fighting off the sickness would be pushed down the pecking order

Ping.
I’m not surprised. Weaker patients are generally left to die. Cull the herd.
Burknee sanDUHs take note.
Bkmrk.
Which means that some folks won’t even go to the hospital, and the UK won’t have any idea of their actual numbers...
Just like China...
Lol.
Its called triage. Ugly business. But if resources are scarce and the need is great, its the best way to direct them where they will do the most good.s
Well, on the plus side
CoronaVirus may dramatically improve the Social Security and Medicare deficit issues
Killing off the elderly, rapidly
oh yes, I’m one of those oldsters, and so are lots on this site
It is called Death Panels.
Think of it as “Democratic Socialism” in action.
And the Bernie Bot fools actually want this.
I don’t mind dying when it is my time, but I do not want a straight-white-male hating death panel making that call.
Which is what will happen in the UK.
When the dow gets to 1,283 i’m all in.
Let’s be honest, in truth, what else can they do? I really think the Chinese SUCK right now
BernieCare is for lunatics.
medicare for all...
well... almost all..
well... some... definitely some..
ok ok ok.. a few...
a select few..
It will happen in the US too, if things get bad there are only enough bed/ventilators for 1 out of every 1,000 patients. I have already come to terms and accepted that there’s a good chance I am going to die and I am at peace with it.
Price just how phuqued up government health “care” is! First, inadequate supply - availability of care. Second, deplorably inverted upside- down rationing of care to precisely those least in need of it. Medical reports are that 97.8 percent of the infected recover. The death rate so far is reported at 2.2 percent. So who does UK government provide care to? Not the most sick. Not the people who need the care. But only to some of the ones who are the least sick and statistically going to recover anyway. Without hospitalization. A truly screwed up health system! If some D- commie c’s fixate ever gets into the White House, I pray s/he will not copy this Uk system when s/he shoves government health “care” (sic) down our throats ( and up our opposite orifices). !.
