My first read reaction to the title was, “That’s one way to handle the elderly.”

[exDemMom]

Um... I don’t think Euthanol is exactly a drug of choice for treating any patient. Or is the intent to start euthanizing patients?

[Rurudyne]

Should be using rope for executions anyway.

Rope is cheap with no environmental issues.

[rktman]

Hemp rope though. None of this pollution heavy Poly crap.

[Jewbacca]

Yeah those two doses per state or so will make all the difference.

File this under “make up a fake issue for political reasons” and ignore it.

[Brilliant]

I’m sure that it can be arranged for a price.

[gloryblaze]

As if those states stockpile the stuff by the gallon and can just move it on out without a boatload of paperwork.

[The Pack Knight]

Fine. There’s no shortage of rope.

[Dr. Sivana]

Should be using rope for executions anyway.

Rope is cheap with no environmental issues.

Frankly, if I had to be executed I would prefer firing squad over lethal injection. Much more dignified. Save the injections for Fido.

[Brilliant]

All these prisoners complaining that they’ve been exposed to COVID should be the first to be treated.

Ruh-row. Must be moving to Plan B.

[Rurudyne]

... Blackadder’s firing squad...,

Seven Demagogic Party stooges make some demands, rest of the world ignores or ridicules those demands, happy ending.

Recent articles have pointed out that, perhaps, ventilators and aggressive, invasive, intubation may actually be more harmful than helpful...

Just sayin’... maybe we don’t need so many damn ventilators and such?

[epluribus_2]

Unproven, off label, not FDA approved.

[gunnut]

Never let a good crisis go to waste.

My bet is that these drugs are available to hospitals but they know once the prisons give up these drugs, they will not be able to get them replaced because the drug manufacturers refuse to supply them.

[Vigilanteman]

Lots of ink spilled because one lefty professor and an associate or two wanted an opportunity to grandstand and send letters. You've got to dive deep into the article to find it:

Dr. Joel B. Zivot, an associate professor . . .

May as well since people on death row usually die of old age.
