The age of ventilator eligibility in Italy keeps dropping. I wonder how many of those under 60 on ventilators are illegal Chinese immigrants.

Ehi, nonno. Hai combattuto contro Mussolini, grazie. Dato che hai 85 anni e una pensione, vaffanculo! Nessun ventilatore per te, ma grazie, comunque!

Good, I don’t want one. Some others might, though.

Degenerates. Age has nothing to do with triage in this situation. A heart transplant in the late 80s, ok I get it. The physical recovery is too hard to get success.

But a ventilator is different.

They are making a value judgement of who lives and dies based solely upon age. A 40 year old deadbeat who walked out on his family, lives on handouts, and doesn’t hold a job is more valuable than a 60 or 70 year old patriarch of a family, maybe owns a business, maybe employs 60 or 70 people.

Bullshit.

What about the Ferrari and Lamborghini factories

Re-purposing auto factories seemed to work here.

Vents are not rocket science type of gadgets

How about offering access to Hydroxychloroquine to patients over 60?

Are they afraid it might work?

No billion dollar solution needed?

This, or a similar article has been posted at least three times before. Maybe some find it hard to believe that Italy would have such a policy. They do. Many countries are likely to have the same policy, but don’t come right out and say it yet.

Rationing health care, even out of necessity, is heartbreaking. Socializing health care will make it a matter of policy.

Just in the past few days, the media have been accusing TRUMP of relishing the idea of doing what the doctors are already starting to do.

In any true crisis there will be Triage practiced. Fact of life regardless of the crisis involved! Hard decisions must be made! Think Spock and his oft repeated statement that "The Needs of the Many Outweigh the Needs of the Few"

That might be why this mortality rate is so high.
