Unofficial reports saying that Ayatollahs and their families have been moved out but for ordinary people they are saying go about your business as usual
Moved out and by whom. I can't see them doing much themselves without assistance... There is also some evidence that this might be a little late anyway and whatever bunker they are in, pretty pointless if they already have it.
Survival of the fittest is in print - broadly you won't get admitted if you need ventiliation. In my interpretation the illest are too time consuming and costly to treat so you don't waste time and resources on them
Study in Wuhan on those termed critical patients showed that 67% died. Those who survived were younger. 80% of those who required mechanical intervention died. The few that survived were all over 50 years of age.
As awful as it sounds, why would you allocate resources at this point to someone who was that ill unless they were young, fit and healthy otherwise? There is obviously a limit here as to who can be saved and who can't. Having a little dignity and honesty about this upfront, will probably save NHS workers time and frankly abuse.
I'd argue that the study suggests there isn't much hope for people once they get to that stage anyway, so its not necessarily a question of 'saving them' versus 'not saving them' anyway.
Its about expectation management as much as its about a harsh policy.
I'm sure someone will argue with me on this, but I don't see it as necessarily denying treatment. More being realistic about how much can be done to help people anyway.
