How terrible.

I actually posted the other day that it’s the suffering I would fear in the last days more than death and I’d rather just be completely out of it if it got that bad.

We can say prayers for those losing the respirators.

it can’t hurt.

That’s pretty much the way I feel too. I don’t fear death, but I really wouldn’t want to die that way.

healthcare rationing

but of course there are no death panels deciding such things

Obama and Jocelyn elders both promoted such policies to deny older people proper healthcare

“those old people are just gonna die anyway”

I live in Spain and am on quite a few different newsgroups for expats. None of them are discussing this, not even as a rumor. I’ll believe it when I see something local.

The rationing is real.

But yeah, typical that triage would constitute that the elderly should go first. GG /s

I read yesterday there are many fake videos out there. Beware when it’s not from a news source.

Given that people who need but can’t be put on respirators are done for anyway, you gotta wonder why they don’t give them chloroquine as one last Hail Mary play.

In one minute I found this article from El Pais:

“Italian professionals are saying they are not going to attend to patients over 65, which sounds awful,” he says. “But if you only have one respirator, and you have to choose, we have to prioritize people with the greatest chance of survival.”

Maybe you should have taken more than a minute. It then goes on to say, “ We haven’t reached that point yet, but we could get there and it will be very painful.”

This situation is the inevitable end state of letting murderous leftists into government or any position of authority.

Leftists (called democrats in the United States) love to kill and murder and they do not care how that killing and murdering occurs.

The video suggests that they are already doing it.

In one minute I found this article from El Pais:

OK, so they said that Italian professionals aren't going to attend to patients over 65. It doesn't say that they are doing that to Spanish patients. Perhaps you ought to take another minute to show me where it says they are denying respirators to Spanish patients and giving them sedatives like the BS article in your original post.

So you take a video from some a$$hole named Michael Welling, a Canadian very passionate about Venezuela and believer in democracy and freedom of speech for all (according to his Twitter profile) and who also posts under the hashtags #SOSVenezuela #FreeVenezuela and #LibertadONada and post it here like the news came to him out of a burning bush?

People like that always support restricting healthcare from the elderly. That is until they become elderly.
