1. I said we should be wary and I provided examples of libs using extreme situations to cloud moral issues. I didn’t scream “IT’S A CONSPIRACY, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!”

2. Take a look back at the last 100 years or so of Aerican history and tell me there weren’t plenty of reasonable-sounding ideas that turned out being used by the libs as leverage to screw society up.

3. Do you really think we need a national triage plan such as this? Are American doctors really so dumb that if we’re short on doses they wouldn’t be able to figure it out?

1) No, but you helped to further the baseless notion that it very well could be a conspiracy without any evidence that it is by linking it to liberal notions when political ideology doesn’t have much to do with this plan at all.....it’s a task force of physicians making this plan, not a specific government agency and not “booga booga” libs.

2) Anything in the past is irrelevant to the current plan. This is either a good thing or a bad thing on its own merits regardless of anything that has happened in the past.

3) As an infectious diseases expert myself (PhD Immunology of Infectious Diseases) that has worked with a State agency for emergency planning purposes (mostly bioterrorism), yes....we need national and local plans such as this in the event of massive pandemics coupled with shortages of resources.....to maximize the lives saved with a shortage of resources.

It’s good to have a plan in place that includes civilian doctors and government agencies....as the government is the ones that’re going to be dealing with supplies, quarantines, riots, etc...

Or we could just fly by the seat of our pants without planning anything.
