Not defending NHS here in any way, but yeah, the NHS, as with any similar type healthcare system, will have rationing and triage carried to ‘death panel’ type resolutions. That said, the UKs largest problem is that it has approx. 5000 ventilators...definitely not enough for a system being overwhelmed.
I saw that yesterday. 4,000 vents, 5,000 vents. That’s what you get when you give the medical needs of “The Community” just equal footing. When they were starting “Preventive Medicine” courses in Med Schools I couldn’t understand at the time why the “old doctors” were so against Preventive Medicine being part of the profession. Suddenly it all makes sense. Things go to hell fast when your priorities are wrong.
