Hate to tell you this Marie, but the chances of any of those people making it through a pandemic, even WITH medical care, is slim to none. They will make the decision ahead of time so that those who do have a chance to survive will survive. I happen to be one of the ones who will NOT make it. I would not want them to waste precious resources on me when the chance of my making it anyway would do no good and allowing person with a chance to fight the illness die.

In times like that, they have to do what they can to save the most lives possible.

My husband is one of those who won’t be helped if he gets this flu. (Parkinson’s)

We understand that. We would rather our grown children and our grandchildren go to the head if the line. I am healthy enough, but would forgo treatment if it meant saving the younger adults and children.

Marie’s situation is different. I would give up my place in line, however, for her son. Who knows what treatments might come along for him in the years ahead, and what he might be able to do with his life if he were saved.
