your point is taken. I should have put a Just Kidding tag at the end of that.
The irony is that any triage that would be put into effect would most likly not affect the rich or the politcians. If, God forbid, this breaks, and Ted Kennedy or Robert Byrd goes thru the system, every string imaginable would be used to save their lives while people with the same health problems would be turned away.
That would be disgusting.
Of course, it is easy to see where this is going. The health care workers all get treated. They are being guarded by national guard and police, who of course will have to have priority for treatment. And of course the civil authorities who will have to organize and control all of this will have priority for treatment. And naturally, since it doesn’t do any good to treat the mayor if her husband and kids get sick and spread the infection to her honor, they have priority for treatment. And naturally the union rep representing the health care workers will need to have priority for treatment. His family too, of course.
The rest of us can go pound sand.
