I agree, but it isn’t me who thinks like that.
3M is making masks - pretty sure the title is referring to ventilator machines, not respirator masks.
Rationing is a function of there being more casualties than medical equipment. Socialized medicine results in less equipment but we will he rationing based in comorbiduties and age when we get overcapacity too.
Read in between the lines....they don’t want to “waste” ventilators on the over 60 because they have a lot of 10 to 59 yr olds they figure might still be saved with the vents especially 18 to 45 year olds who will die without vent support. In otherwords, all those youngsters that weren’t supposed to be getting real ill with covid...well they are getting real ill with covid. So they are choosing the youngsters vs. the 60 and over crowd.(Wait ...I’ll bet they drop the age max to 55).

Yeah, myaswell put our names on the Freerepulic Wall now. :)
Good, I don’t want one anyway.
The average age of the individuals deaths in italy was over 80.
All but 12% were already dying of either hypertension, diabetes, or heart disease.
If this was YOUR effing country, would you want all your resources going to THAT demographic ???
Give me a freaking break
I’m just saying that America’s are getting involved with this, which should help minimize it.
Going on 69 here - if I get it and am denied a respirator - so be it.
If I survive - ill do whatever one old man can do to economically retaliate against anything Chinese for the rest of my life.
As a matter of fact - Ill do that anyway.
Logan’s Run?
Good thing I have a couple of years left, but I will miss my brother and sisters.
For those over 60 who come down with Corona virus in Italy, acquire yourself a handgun and several rounds, go to a quiet beautiful place and end your life with dignity and honor by your own hand. Not suffering a despicable death in some hospital corridor
Comorbidity is a meaningless term. It has no definitive definition and is most prevalent in Psychiatry.
But, that said, it can be applied in this case to mean, any pre-existing condition that may be likely to make the resultant Wuhan Virus a more significant danger to one person than another based upon said pre-existing condition.
However, more and more cases of Wuhan Virus are beginning to come to the forefront where the patient is young with no pre-existing conditions and yet, that person’s life is in the balance.
These cases contradict the Cormorbidity theory.
Beats the demographic that can’t determine which personal pronoun to use.
The Hippocratic oath is to Doctors what the Oath of office is to politicians
PS... She ain't no virgin.
‘Several rounds’? How many practice rounds does one need to do what you suggest?
in case any are duds
easy solution for over 60 folks- simply identify as 30 year olds- and dare anyone to dispute you
